I have to admit that was a good performance by Man Utd especially in the final third. De Gea still doesn't look very comfortable at the back, i thought he only had a problem with low shots but he seems to struggle with high balls as well (especially under pressure).

I think Spurs will struggle this season, Bale doesn't look the player he was last season....they gave away possession so easily to Man Utd and there was no movement on the pitch. One wonders why Redknapp prefers to keep Defoe instead of Crouch. Van Der Vaart didn't have anyone to assist him in the middle with Modric's missing. Like Arsenal, they need a creative midfielder because as things stand now they can only rely on the flank players to come through for them.

Thank you Arsenal fans for acknowledging the master class performance from the English champions - pray that the form is not reprised this super Sunday.

I have to admit that I had been overly critical of Man Utd last season and when we started the campaign this season, I wondered what we were doing with Cleverly, Wellbeck and Johhn Evans. Well, Fergie's judgement has been vindicated and with accompanying performances by Anderson, Phil Jones, Ashley Young and who else but Rooney - the future is indeed very bright.

I hope that Fergie trusts that team to dispatch Arsenal on Sunday instead of putting Hernandez and Carrick to start (as I suspect he'll be tempted to do). If Rio is fit, maybe he can start him for Evans but Phil Jones and Smalling should definitely be retained.

Evra looked suspect against Lennon so I would go for Fabio. Arsenal will get some confidence if they qualify for CL group stages this Wed but I doubt it'll be enough to stop a rampant Man Utd. Surely the Manchester derby looks to be the game of the season if the pace set by the two teams is anything to go by.

I agree Spurs looked lost without Modric, only VdV looked potent but Spurs must have thought De Gea would make blunders coz all they were attempting were weak shots from outside the box. Despite 2 almost blunders, I love the fact that the boy got a clean sheet - nothing to inspire confience more for a goal keeper.

We need to improve though if we are to face teams like Barca, Real Madrid and the likes of Bayern Munich who are still quite strong. Fergie has reconstructed a team capable of winning trophies together for another 5 years - you've gotta hand it to the old man

Yet another routine 3 points in the bag.

Though the EPL is akin to a marathon race, got a gut feeling that whoever lags behind earlier on this season will struggle to catch up with the leading pack.
IF YOU EXPECT ME TO POST ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT ASENO, YOU MAY AS WELL SIT ON A PIN

Give credit where it's due.That was awesome perfomance from ManU youngsters..Cleverly and Welbeck were absolutely fantastic.I still have serious reservations on De Gea while i can predict Young will run out of steam soon....but then Chicharito is on the mend
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Even though he seemed shaky, what the boy needed was a clean sheet, I am sure he will come good!!!

Bolton, Chelsea and Stoke, all very physical teams....these are the games that will really put De Gea to the test.
