IMO the score flattered us, Swansea were a lot better than what it suggests. They will definitely cause a lot of probs to our competitors with the likes of Michu and Bony.
From our end I was very impressed with Welbeck in particular. Great movement and took the 4th very well.

RVP needs no evaluation, only our dependency is slightly high on him.
Valencia has impressed me, he was a complete nuisance for the highly rated swans. Coupled with Rafael, he'll be an entity of old.
Jones would be better protecting Carrick and the back 4, or partnering Vidic/Evans (although Ferdy was great too). He gets sucked into the middle too easily which causes us problems when at right back.
I felt Evra was good, looking quite lean too.
Giggs should stick to coaching now, far too erratic.
And Rooney.? I'm lost. It actually looked as though he hobbled off at FT just for an excuse to be injured. I wish he would stop this stubborn stance and show a bit more professionalism. We need him, and he knows it. (For back up to RVP lol 'Oooooo Robin Van Perrrrsie')
Thoughts?

Rooney did take a knock from Michu in the build up to the Welbeck goal, When he came on he did look like he was making an effort but did seem like he needed match practice

The score did not flatter us, in the final third we can be devastating mainly due to RVP. Welbeck could become a player this season however he needs a rocket up his jacksy for causing their goal. Rooney has nil class, he wants to go therefore let him go to a foreign team and wish him the best. What could this squad do with a couple of class midfielders? Awesome first game and the David Moyes song is brilliant.
