8 making debuts and put 3 past west ham, have certainly made a better start than I thought they would. Hammers beat us easily at home in our last game in PL |  | | |  |

Just watching the Sunderland game on MOTD right now and a striking difference I’ve noticed between them and us. When Sunderland pick the ball up in midfield they are looking to drive forward and attack.
When we picked up the ball in midfield last season we either went square or backwards, looked reluctant to commit and were far more passive in possession. |  |

It's just not even a comparison and it's pointless.
This is a team that spent 3 years in the Champ and sold 25M quid worth of players in the those last two years as well as 40M + this summer.
They had time to evolve the squad and the club in a different way.
Can't jump to conclusions now. They've not stayed up, they've won one game. [Post edited 16 Aug 17:06]

Yeah didn't they sell this guy called Jack Clarke for a load of money that likely helped |  |

first game comparison, if we'd have played west ham as well as we played v liverpool, we'd have likely beaten them 3-0 too!
the fixture computer really doesn't like us! |  |

I think yiu are kidding yourself. We played West Ham just after our 2-2 draw with Aston Villa where we played exceptionally well. Confidence was high going into the West Ham game and they were in abysmal form with the manager predicted to get the sack if we beat the. They beat us convincingly 4-1. We were awful, | |

Indeed, a very bad day out.
Ben Johnson was dreadful, Muric was Muric, and the gleeful Hammers fan next to me told me that that was Kalvin Phillips' best performance for them, which made me smile.
As an aside, London Stadium perhaps the most soulless stadium I've been to. |  | | |

The scenario of being on a high as you're about to play your first game in the top flight for 20 years - and at home - with all the hopes and dreams of the fans and players still intact, is a totally different scenario to playing West Ham away in October.
So yes, I agree with people saying it could've been a lot different if we'd had a West Ham/Palace/Everton at home on the opening day rather than the Champions. |  |

Not playing the first game against Liverpool helps. |
And following up their first game with a fellow promoted side instead of Man City away, also helps. |  |
