How many accounts sammsky has
Is it that obvious? :lol:

the sentiment I do agree with is that there will certainly be no more freak defeats this season: squad is now fit and has good depth all over the pitch.

If Ole and team can get to international break without losing or only one loss, then we are in a very good place for the season.

hope for the best and be kind if it doesn’t happenS

I believe we have a much more competitive squad this year than last, we won't be knocked out by a couple of injuries and we'll even be able to rest players without resorting to options who simply aren't good enough to play at this level. Investing in depth rather than star power, I believe it was a sound decision. Downside to this though, the pressure is now on as there are no excuses not to mount a serious challenge, and at the very least we should look like a thoroughly solidified top-four side throughout this campaign.

So far however, our current regime has delivered everything I expected and I'm hopeful they'll keep it up. The next couple of matches will tell us a lot in that regard, and either way, for the first time in years, I'm super-excited about this team.

City lose points again.

I feel we can be competitive for the title even if we dont win the thing because every team is losing points like its weight on the waist.

No this isn't a wumming thread. Last season this squad showed their mettle through getting top 4. People overreact to a few games. We are about to show everyone who the feck we are.
We are fecking Manchester United and we are going to win the league this year and we will show everyone who we are vs Chelsea later today.
Ole has already shown that true great management spirit by dropping Green wood and Pogba for valid reasons. All you opposing fans get ready to really hate us again and all you "so called" United fans unhappy with management get ready to feel unhappy because we are about to be successful again.
If it weren't for this part I'd sympathize with the message the OP has.

We desperately need to improve our home form before even thinking about that though. Ole said in his recent press conference that we may need to approach them differently, hopefully that's the case.

Exactly this.
Let's win ONE home game before there's any silly talk of titles.

Let's get into the top half of the table first eh!

I honestly believe this as well. Our very direct, do nothing and score approach suits this era of football imo. We dont need to play well to score, and win

Yeah they are inconsistent too but they are playing like a Jose 2nd season team.

I'd have them as underdog favourites over us.

This thread wasnt highlighting us as title winners, more that we would be competing for it - I don't really see many clubs having a 20 point lead between positions 1 & 3 on the table like it was the last couple years and can see clubs like us, Tottenham, maybe even Everton all scrambling around the recent winners feeling like they still have a small chance of winning the thing when it comes to January etc

Everyones dropping points and having issues in defense. After 5 games, City have conceded 8 and Liverpool 13. It took Liverpool 15 league games to concede their 13th goal last season.

It's going to be another weird season, I wouldn't be shocked if it's really tight come Christmas and a team like Leicester or Everton are near the top. European football with this schedule is going to hurt the top teams imo. As for United, we have the potential to go on a good run, but we need our defense to wake up and be much stronger than it has been to do it.

Ban him now. These threads never end well.

Or atleast throw him back to the newbies.

You only ever set a thread like this up right after a superb win.
Not just before an awkward looking game.
Was destined to look ludicrous.

I think we'll creep top 6 as usual but title run is a no go

This is a weird season, where we are seeing the expected favourites drop points.
But the fact remains that we have scored 7 pts from 5 matches. That's terrible.
We are currently in joint 13th place.

League position means nothing in such stage of a season. We're about 6 points only away from the top.

I agree. Also, Cavani will net +15 goals in the PL alone this season. Quote me, and come back to celebrate my genious when the season is over.
Man I'd love for this to be your 'Nani will reignite our charge for the title' post - I don't share your optimism though :(

You are talking in absolutes :lol:

5 games in, the bar between high points and and low points isnt that different.


But you are focusing on the worst start ever, which is game in hand, steadied ship and if we win game in hand we will be big 1 game behind tbe league leaders who we play soon.



Complete disaster, let's be fannies and give up and play for the league cup :lol:

This will be an open title race but Ole is just trying to keep his job and scrape into the top 4, so is Lampard. They were both pleased with a point today.

It may be a lot hard for anyone of them to get into the top 4 this season.

If going to be a WUM at least try harder or be a bit funny instead of just seeming a bit odd.

Never said that anything about anyone laughing, all I can see is you seem to laugh at your own comments a lot, good luck to you.

:lol: Ridiculous thread 7 points from the opening 5 and the OP posts this
Might as well do this threads early when you're still just 6 points away from the top! There isn't going to be a better a position for along the season to make such thread so in that sense I sympathize with OP.

No you seem to have confused yourself somewhere, or are just making stuff up to amuse yourself . If that keeps you happy fair play.

It means nothing. It’s how you finish not how you start. We were mid table or outside the top 4 in 08/09 near the Christmas and we won the league. We smashed Chelsea 3-0, Arsenal 8-2 in 11/12 beginning of the season and we lost the league and got knocked out in CL group stage to Europa league.

Our last three games have been positive and we can build from that, be confidence and more positive with it that it feels like we won’t lose a game to anyone.
