Chelsea beat promoted Burnley and Leicester......people call them champions elect
Man Utd beat promoted QPR......it's only QPR
Its easy to underestimate how well we played today. At times QPR had 11 men in defence, when ANY team does that its hard to break down. The fact that we opened them up time and time again shows how well we played. To do that with 4 new players, who only trained together for the first time on Thursday is really impressive
Confidence was on the floor. We've had a year watching players struggle to perform at OT, and 4 new players coming straight in. This was a really top notch performance, and to say otherwise, or belittle the opposition is naive in the extreme
This was the start of our recovery, and its very encouraging
I watched the press conference when we unveiled Falcao and Blind. Blind might as well not have been there, with all the focus on Falcao. I'd like to think he's showed how important a signing he will be now. Di Maria rightly took the plaudits, but Blind was the one who knitted the team together. Top marks (Rojo too - cool as!)
