Didn`t click at all, their last few games have been similar, extremely lucky, they need to get it back together to maintain the lead.

If there was an award for 'derby the media think people care about but in reality absolutely no one outside of the area cares one bit about it', I think the Tyne-Wear derby would win.

Isn't that true of most derbies in that those involved care so much more than general football fans?
Well played Sunderland against a Newcastle that struggles away from home even if it is not far up the road.

City go top next Saturday when they beat West Ham before Arsenal play, they`re looking ominous.

Villa must be kicking themselves over those first 5 games of the season

They`ve won 10 games, 8 of them by a 1 goal margin, I don`t think that`s sustainable for a title challenge.

Yeah they are doing that thing again where they look like they're unstoppable and keep winning on a run

City still look a bit fragile to me. They're fine when they dominate possession and are on the attack but seem vulnerable to a quick counter attack without a peak form Rodri in there.

Playing on until Man United score almost backfired badly for the ref there.

Brooks could have scored two at the end there.

I always feel that Carragher is too critical when he is covering Liverpool's games.
Last night he was so gushing about Man Utd's first half performance I was delighted when Bournemouth subsequently took the game to them and might even have scored again near the end-what a great result that would have been to lose 5-4 having earlier led at half-time and not even lost a home game after leading at half-time for 50 years or more.

As it was the game was really entertaining and it shows what type of game you can have when both teams have rubbish defenders and keepers.
I have to say that the 3 goals Bournemouth scored from open play were top class with each finish being in the corner.

The result might have been different if Mbeumo had been on song and conversely if the ref hadn't given the hand-ball against Smith when the ball hit his head and then the rat scored from a free-kick (brilliantly placed in the top corner).

LOL @ the crowd being in almost total silence at the end of the game-I guess the Man Utd fans had been kidding themselves that this is now a good Man Utd team when obviously it isn't.
