The Monday morning Mailbox suggests it’s time to shift Trent and drop Mount. Plus: Lots on Man Utd. They showed an improvement, apparently.

Knee-jerky
So that was quote an interesting opening weekend, I figured after all the predictions, Its the perfect time to give KneeJerk reactions to the 1st set of results.
1. Spurs will challenge City all season long win the league on Goal Diff
2. Haaland will score over 50 goals this season
3. Liverpool will be mid table mediocrity as they now have no midfielders (only fit ones are ‘children’ or ‘pensioners’..)
4. Man Utd are truly in a relegation battle
5. Arsenal will finish 3rd
6. Sadly Forest wont be the nice surprise team
7. Newcastle will finish above Chelsea (who scraped past Everton) and in the 4th CL spot
8. Graham Potter to be in charge of England / Man Utd or Chelsea by November / End of season latest
9. Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard are rubbish at managing.
10. Footballs back and is unpredictably brilliant

United were better
I only half watched the United game as I was also re-watching my Fulham stuff Liverpool and F365s hopes for the season at the same time, but honestly.
United were miles better than they were last season. They dominated possession, had more shots, more shots on target, an actual mode of playing, created actual passing moves etc etc. Even with McFred.
I personally think that playing Eriksen wide left and Rashford up front would have been the way to go but that isn’t how they have played all pre-season so I understand why Ten Hag tried to minimise changes.
I think United fans should feel annoyed but happier than for a long time.
Fulham on the other hand have no caveats, we were sodding great. Paulinha is immense, I think he could have the same level of importance in a similar role for us as Kante did for Leicester, and Mitrovic will, and write this down, score 20+ league goals.
If Mitro outscores Nunez this season then Liverpool have to give us back Elliot and Carvalho.
Also, Nottingham Forest.
12th, you say.
Alrighty.

Ten Hag shellshocked by Potter as Man Utd boss fails to avoid blame despite countless caveats
Dat Guy
In case you didn’t notice, Danny Welbeck just tore the Man Utd Defence apart. Danny Welbeck, let that sink in, Danny flippin Welbeck.
Erikson ain’t turning it around, he’s a…
