Top 4 almost a certainty now.

Cant agree there. Plenty of work to do - we just have to keep the rhythm and hope the other teams keep slipping up and beat them when we play them. No more slip ups when they slip up

^, nope - more like Leicester were terrible. I fully expect a struggle against Watford next time out.
We did play well like we did against a in form hull the only difference is we finished off our chances.

That's a positive way of looking at it but when you get a chance, look at the goals again. Their defence made big errors each time...Huth coming for the ball instead of making Mikhi beat him, 3 defenders standing around Ibra but forgetting to actually do any marking (that miss-hit ball should never have gotten to him), the leftback who doesn't track Mata's run (Zlatan was wide-open in the middle on that same goal).

I hope Watford are as sloppy but I have my doubts.

edit: miss hit doesn't get censored like mi****

Some more Zlat Facts:

Zlatan has now reached double figures for league goals (in Europe’s top five leagues) in each of his last 11 seasons. The only other players who can watch that feat are… Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Zlatan has reached 15 Premier League goals for Man Utd in the fourth fastest number of games (23), behind only Ruud Van Nistelrooy (19), Dwight Yorke (20) and Robin van Persie (21).

Zlatan has now scored 20+ goals at club level in 10 consecutive seasons. The last time he didn't reach 20 goals was in 2006-07 at Inter (15).

Zlatan was the first Man Utd player to score in his first three Premier League appearances for the club. The last United player to score in their first three league appearances for the club was Ian Storey-Moore, back in 1971-72.

Of players in the big five European Leagues, only Lionel Messi (51) scored more goals than Zlatan (50) in all club comps in 2016.

After he scored against Bournemouth on his Premier League debut, Zlatan has now scored on his Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Champions League debut.
