A corner turned or papering over the cracks?

It was interesting that we can actually put in a defensively competent performance when we decide to do so. The only other point of interest really was that Chelsea aren't all that, which means that United are going to win the league easily.

I think City will be in the mix. Actually, funny thing to say as they won 4-0 but I thought United were fairly unimpressive yesterday (and the United fans I was sitting voiced the same opinion). Second half they lost control of the game but sadly Everton were as toothless as a Scouse granny so beloved of Rooney. And Ashley Williams is an utter ****

I havent watched them this season but they seemed to be installed as favourites before anyone had kicked a ball. The Mourinho Factor, I believe this is called.

Visionary.

Pep played Sterling, Aguero, De Bruyne, Jesus and Silva and still had Sane, Gundogan and Da Silva (wonderful player) on the bench.

Why on earth was he after Sanchez?

Indeed, it is quite ridiculous and part of me wishes he had got the small Chilean so I could see what his plan was. One would have to think that after a small period of so-called acclimatisation (not weather wise) the lad Bernardo Silva will play each week, he is simply too good not to.

Gundogan also, simply brilliant footballer though his injuries leave more scope for him missing out.

I wonder if Alexis would laugh at his own team missing chances he perceives as easy (see Lacazette's miss and subsequent hysterics) if he'd gone to City?

I have no idea what you are on about.

When Ramsey hit the post and the ball bounced up to Lacazette who missed the empty net, the cameras panned around to the Arsenal bench. Players and staff alike were off their seats, head in hands. The exception here was Alexis who instead slapped Ospina on the back and laughed heartedly.

Jeez, Rich, I suggest you watch what happened rather than read The Telegraph. He was laughing because in the excitement he hit Ospina in the face (lightly) and was trying to apologise whilst laughing about it. Had absolutely nothing to do with the miss

Hadn't read that - did seem a bit odd
