Excellent so far. Key for this season is beating the teams outside the top 7 teams home and away. If we do that consistently we'll win the league. If not we have no chance.
and what if other teams in the top 6 do the same

3pts, another clean sheet and a solid all round performance. I will take that.

3 matches 10 goals scored, none conceded. awesome.

We desperately need a RW tho, Valencia can't cross for his life and Mata loves drifting in more than anything. LB is also an area we need better option. I wish Rojo is fit since Shaw can't be trusted to stay fit to save his life.

upward and next.

It was Blind spinning like a turntable. Why can't we go for this Mahrez guy sef since JM wants a winger. Let him and Mata rotate that RW spot.

It's a good thing we're playing the way we are. The difference in our play at the moment from last season's is glaring. I especially like the fact that everybody is contributing the goals.

Despite Lukaku missing the penalty and other chances we've managed to win.

We've only played 3 games and 6 players already have their names on the score sheet - Rash, Martial, Pogbs, Luqs, Fellaini, and Bailly.

More goals lads!

It was almost an excellent game, particularly the first half. Even if we drew the game I would still have praised the team.

Martial did a good work with his build up play with other players.

Phil Jones did almost excellent against Mahrez. The only time Mahrez got past, Jones actually dispossessed him and in return missed step to lose the ball. Otherwise it was a master class today from Jones.

Valencia is over criticized. He had two occasions he could have put in a better cross, he stamped when he was trying to pick a team mate rather than just put in a cross. Valencia usually try to pick a team mate, that's why he finishes the league as the player who got most cross accuracy in the whole EPL. Unlike those Sterling, De Bruyne, Townsend, Oxlaid, etc who usually just whip in crosses. We should not forget the defence was so tight today that even Mkhitaryan's crosses went to the goalkeeper instead, and Martial also stamped.

Good team play, good football from Manchester United today.

Elamps, we know you have favorites, but let's be open-minded.

I'd Jones did okay but he was caught out of position on several occasions. If Mahrez had gotten that pass a split second earlier he could've punished us severely. However, he covered up quickly and saved the team.

Also, Valencia is not unduly criticized. He was sub par. Failed to drive forward on many occasions when he had the chance to and couldn't deliver his crosses well. I'd say Blind's crosses were far more dangerous than his.

Jones was excellent. I think may be some people begin watching a match with the intention of finding fault to criticize some players. Jones made last man aerial clearances that if he had not read the game properly, we would have conceded from a header. He also was magnificent with his tackles.

It was Blind who always went out of position, which meant which means Jones had to cover for him, thereby making Jones to come one vs one with Mahrez. A central defender should not be allowed to face a forward one vs one without anyone behind to cover up any eventuality. Particularly when it is a good dribbler like Mahrez.

Look at how Valencia always on hand to form a twin with Bailly on the other end making it hard for any one to get past both. That was why Leicester resorted to crossing from that wing, which Jones headed all away.

Valencia went forward many times. I dont understand what you meant he should have been going forward. All the early threats in the match was because Valencia left his marker, which the commentor mentioned.

Martial put in 6 crosses and non connected, and he was the one gifted the most space to utilize for a perfect cross.

Remember Valencia is a full back, not a winger. And he was playing with a left footer ahead of him. Marta had to cut back all the time.

The Jones I saw today was superb. Even when he lost Mahrez, he recovered in time to foil Mahrez' last attempt. Bailly-Jones partnership is looking like the real deal. I hope they keep it up.

The team has improved tremendously. Last season,faced with this kind of bus parking opposition, the team would have recorded a draw.
We need to credit Jose for building such an impressive team. So far so good. We are now playing like one of the championship winning teams of Sir Alex.
We are playing football,the United way and our rivals know how dangerous Jose Mourinho teams can be if they are allowed to build a big points gap.
By the way Fellaini and Matic were very good today. Phil Jones too

Jones was rocksolid today. I give him 9/10. He's covering both his position and that of Blind's when Blind was attacking. Even Valencia was great today save for some few bad crosses.

The scoreline didn't do justice to our performance. We dominated and outclassed Leicester all through. The only thing we lacked was goals. We couldn't convert our chances.

Everyone played okay, even Mata I castigated played very well. Blind had few bad moments but he supported the attack very well. Leicester were parking the bus so it ended up frustrating our game plan. Kudos to the lads, they got the job done. Another assist for Mhikitaryan.

Jones has always been our best defender. Problem is keeping his fitness. Who is to blame for that DDG save chance at the end?
