I hope James hasn't got brittle bones, because they're going to be kicked a lot.
He will, but he doesn't look the sort who will hide, he will come back for more.Chavs are actually scared of Championship player, James
Can't wait to see Mourinho's face
The side he built just won 4-0! That'll be the spin.
i think he still rather likes usCan't wait to see Mourinho's face
They really don't. They will be there or there abouts top 6. A rival for top 4. We made them look naive with good counter attacks and a bit of luck.Dammit, can't remember the last time we cheered for every pass of the ball.If Jesus had to work with a cross like that nobody would have ever heard of him.
FFS 4-0 and this !! Cant you just celebrate a crackng home win!
Matic is a player I don't want to see in any big game let alone play for United. His comments about the youth on this team was so defeating and just not the attitude needed for united.BebesicForgot about James's dad. So much going on in his life, but what a start to his United career. I think he is going to be specialYes! It's happening! The quality of the Honeymoon is back! Martial and Rashford finally scoring as proper high-wage attackers. Lukaku gone! Pogba stays! Improved defense!
4 goals + clean sheet!This Emerson gypsy needs a Maguire header on his forehead.Weakish Chelsea team to be fair. Good time to play them.
Doubt he can count to ten.More shots of Lampard squirming uncomfortably please.What are we doing? I want 5!
You’re so miserable.Not sure anyone expected this, such a weird game, just when you think youve seen it all.
4-0 flatters us but damn did we need it.
Great second half from him.Weird game. Very happy with the result but we all remember those two post hits from chelsea in the first half. If they had scored in the firat half this could be a very different game right know.
Anyway ill take this 4-0
What did he say?Maguire has been immense.
Dismantled more like.
This! A reverse of the defeat we suffered against Chelsea under him! Sorry my ass!Can't wait to see Mourinho's face
We need a stronger MF against Wolves or Neves will dominate us again.
Dont get me wrong im happy.....the comment just came when pogba gave a sloppy pass away for the 6th time and chelsea failed to do anything with it.Emerson's got really lovely striking technique.
He really wasn't. Be interested to see stats on giving away possession but he was very hesitant and slow and contributed little defensively. Can't think of a worse player... especially given he is best paid player on pitchGood win.
Thank god football matches don't end after the first half. Correction - He gave 2 moments of quality that resulted in 2 goals.
Say it with me now: "I was premature in judging Pogba's performance and he played well." This is the first step to acceptance.when did Giroud come on? I seriously only noticed him nowGreat result.Perfect result to start the season!Emerson has quite the shot on him.Good start!Full-time (90+4')Perfect.90+4 min
Full-time
A winning start to the season and a very satisfying one.
We held a slim 1:0 advantage at half-time and it was a very open first 45 minutes with Chelsea well in it.
In the second-half we tightened up, sat deeper and looked to hit Chelsea on the break. We did so with devastating effect scoring two quick fire goals midway through the second-half from Martial and Rashford. Daniel James put the icing on the cake with a fourth just minutes after making his debut.
A 4:0 win in the end and lots of positives to take from the result. Plenty still to work on but we're off and running.
