Yeah but we're in the title race people keep telling me.
4 games the big 6 this season
- Thread starter Schmeichel's Cartwheel
- Start date
How the feck did we lose to that relegation fodder in north London
Some people find that very difficult. They just find a new angle to have a go at the Manager and team.
Wasn't that long ago that we were doing well in the games against the top clubs and struggling in the games we should win against the smaller clubs. We've fixed the later and done ok against the top teams, a draw isn't the end of the world.
Liverpool have just as bad of an away record yet were told theyll run away with the title..
2/12 from home games against City, Chelsea, Spurs & Arsenal this season compared to 10/12 last is a big drop off.
I will say though that this is going to be a very weird season for results and we are much closer to the leaders this time due to that.

Everyone is in the title race before christmas. It doesnt matter.
Do you think Southampton will be in the title race in March? Not very likely. Thats what matters. We dont look that likely to be within 5-6 points of the leaders at that point
They're joint top on points and have had half their defence and mid field out.
Imagine us with the same?
Sure it was wrapped up after 3 games ffs
We have an injury crises every year? Plus Liverpool became average long before the injuries kicked in. Its like 2 away wins in 11 or something stupid.
Not true. Ole is excellent in big games. Fake stats. Not to mention fitness. And Sancho. And the fact that Ole is attacking manager.
Anyway, fake news
United fans making up excuses and being wrong with them for Liverpool just to have a go at our own manager. Could make the hypernormalisation thread
You don't need to, the table last year at a similar point would give you a clear picture.
Oh. Guess I'll stop cheering for the boys then. Thank you for clearing that up.
Yeah! We have only won 18 of 21 points against teams outside the traditional top 6 this season, 43 of 54 points since the start of February and are #1 in points won in the league in the same period. What was your point again?
Ah yes, the alternative league table again. When do we receive the title?
This is so lazy!
vs Spurs: 2W 1D 1L
vs City: 2W 1D 1L
vs Arsenal: 0W 1D 3L
vs. Chelsea: 2W 2D
vs. Liverpool: 0W 2D 1L
(vs Leicester: 3W 0D 0L)
Total: 6W 7D 6L (not including Leicester)
In this period Liverpool and City has probably been amongst the 4 best clubs in the world. The Arsenal stat's are the only ones not good enough, the rest is on par or above.
It's not like we've had a team where we were expected to crush any of these sides.
Dodgy thread and post!
Have we been consistantly beating the smaller teams over a longer period of time now?
Your original point is wrong, so why stick with it?
The point of the thread was highlighting wins & goals scored though, hence why I followed the same pattern with that post to the OP.
Ole’s record against City & Chelsea is really good, decent against Spurs & poor against Liverpool & (inexplicably) Arsenal
But why ignore the fact that we actually have been the most consistant point winning team in the league over the last 10 and a half months and have been consistantly beating the lesser teams for a longer period of time now?
To me it seems that the motive for the OP and your posts here is to find angles to bash our manager with while ignoring facts that gives a more nuanced picture.
Why is it so important for you and the OP to speak down our performances and the manager?
If draws are nearly as damaging as defeats then City would be 2 points up on us right now, not 1 point behind us. A win is obviously always better, but sometimes a draw against quality opposition isn't a bad result...
And spurs with the examples you have put
Spurs and Liverpool have both been excellent.
Liverpool have only played 3 though.
Arsenal 3-1
Chelsea 2-0
City 1-1
Spurs
United 6-1
City 2-0
Chelsea 0-0
Arsenal 2-0
Don't worry lads, we are gonna beat them all in the reverse fixture 
In front of their own fansDon't worry lads, we are gonna beat them all in the reverse fixture
