My eyes lit up when Mata pounced on the error, I thought he was going to square it to Ibrahimovic. Close!

How is Bailly doing? Simple passes left and right every time.

He was the top of the United defenders when I last looked. He looks like he has yellows in him to me though because he really flies into the tackle when pressing.

Ibra is simply too good to be a failure. No chance he will fail

Think i read something about him being a card magnet alright, worth watching though especially if the full backs aren't delivering.

He's 34 with a lot of miles on the clock. Yeah he'll score goals but will he score enough to justify his FPL price? Answer is no based on that 45

Haha Zlatan stays in my team as long as he likes.

That's the point - you can't answer the question based on 45 minutes. The first 45 minutes of the season, after a relatively short pre-season and missing 2 key players in behind.

Not enough pace to get behind a defence and Utd don't like playing too much long ball. System failure is easy to call early as will be proved.

He won't be given the time on the ball he got in France

I think the point is he's 34m and very expensive

Will he be within 10% of Aguero's score over the season? as his price suggests

Yeah but we're not expecting 37 from him this season either

HT bonuses as they stand:

34m is very expensive tbf.;)

The amount of nonsense being posted about Zlatan is hilarious.

SlickRic

Utd don't look free scoring.

On the other hand, those with Ibra shouldn't worry. The whole thing with him is he'll do nothing, then have a moment. He's not the kind to involve himself in everything. He'll do nothing all game, then come up with a moment.

What count would be expected over the season? 22?

Boruc saves from Rooney again

Could be a red card for Bournemouth, players are losing their cool at the moment.

United looking a bit more threatening now

SlickRic

Bournemouth are pants. Particularly at the back and DM.

Not if he comes on for him, which would be perfect as I don't have him.

gazump123

46 with Fabregas and Feghouli to play. Alright I suppose but Amat and Redmond both on the bench

Will come on to the right of him I expect or maybe even left as martial has been very quiet

I think Rooney's FF opponent this week has Martial in his team. He's actively stopped two goal scoring chances for him in the last ten minutes.
