You've signed a hard working lad who has played out on the left for United and England when his correct position is centre forward. I think you've got a good buy, he's got a great attitude holds the ball up well and given the chance will score you goals if played in the right position.
Seems some are confusing him with Young
I feel for Mata, looks like he's just been shunted onto the bench again with Falcao arriving.
Lets hope they all click and we can get back to playing some exciting football, soon !!

Yea think hes a good player, not got the skill of Rooney or Van persie
And i agree now we have Falco got no chance at playing as striker, but i think he would be better else where on the field either cam or rw
Saying that you can ignore his 2 goals last night for England, i also agree with your comment i think he will do well for Arsenal and will be good for England to have him playing regular in premiership

Encouraging win today but they need to do something with that defence as they was extremely lucky not to concede today. Also, Van Persie at the moment shouldn't be on the pitch - I don't know what is up with him at the moment but he just seems to need some motivation.

Only watched the extended highlights but our defence looked better playing a back 4.
RvP should be worried. He looked a yard off the pace of the game and with Falcao's arrival its rather congested up front.
Di Maria has hit the ground running. Some of his passes were sublime but just his general pace and willingness to attack. Its like having a young giggsy back. Great to have a proper left footer on the wing instead of that idiot Young. Rafael was better going forward than Valencia who just seems scared to run at decences these days.
A lot tougher tests to come but small steps in the right direction.

My 2 favourite players were Di Maria and Rafael, Di Maria was spot on played out of his skin, as said before like young giggs. Rafael was playing out of his skin aswell trying prove a point i guess.
I quite like young, don't know why he isn't played on the right now Di Maria is here, luckly welbeck didn't play amazing for Arsenal on Saturday.

Much better performance, agree with the back four comments and without a doubt Di Maria is different grade what a fantastic signing and very Giggs like with his pace and the way he attacks the back four, the pass to RVP was sublime.
Personally I would have taken RVP off for Falcao
Just pleased we got 3 points although Harry has never taken a team to Old T with the intention of winning.

Couldn't believe my eyes. Worst penalty decision I have seen for a long time but does not excuse an epic implosion of Spurs proportions. Glad to see the back of blackett for a few matches as some of his decision making has been woeful.

It's clear already this will be a two horse race between Chelsea and City and a mass scrap for the remaining spots.
None of the remaining teams are covering themselves in glory right now.

I'd be happy with 3rd place, it was poor penalty which changed the game, to be fair Man u have just lost there 3 top defenders, and replaced them with a young inexperienced or average players, there looking really good on the attack, its just defence is all over the place
