Summary

Gary Neville reacts to Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Fulham from the commentary box at Craven Cottage. He's already feeling a bit less enthusiastic than he was at the start of the season for his former club, but praises Fulham's squad despite a lack of signings in the summer transfer window. Gary feels that Manchester City looked a bit old against Tottenham Hotspur and describes what an Arsenal side looks like without Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka (IF they remain injured next week). Other talking points include Chelsea's dominant display against West Ham, the importance of Everton winning their first game at their new stadium and how nice it is to see all three promoted teams having already won a match this season.

0:41.0	in West London off the back of one all draw between Phyllum and Manchester United.
0:45.8	And Gary, you've just been looking at the numbers actually which were on the screen moments
0:49.4	ago and it's just about bang level.
0:51.5	Yeah, it was a pretty even game in the end.
0:53.4	I think that you look at all the stats, possession was 52, 48, shots on target, shots on goal, expected goals are all pretty level. Fulham came back into it in the second half and finished really strongly. I thought they were a lot better in the second half. I thought United were the better team in the first half, particularly in that first period. And yeah, fair result. We don't like watching draws. We always feel a little bit like on the way home that's, you know, you're gonna get them in football and I think it was probably the right result today for both teams. What's it done to your mindset vis-à-vis Manchester United? If you came away with cautious optimism from Old Trafford a week ago,

1:42.1	I think that what Fulham did,
