I think we can easily win all games against mid table teams. We just don't do well against transfer that know how to play good football. Not since the cup final.

We've just played the 3 hardest games in our run-in and come away with 4 points, relax.

They will because this team has shown time and time again they can’t deal with pressure. So many players need to be booted out - Maguire, Lindelof, Martial, Fred probably Shaw as well.

I genuinely still don't think it's even likely? Are people just shitting the bed?

Wolves, Chelsea, Fulham are the home games, all winnable.

Its our last mid week game for about 3 weeks. Stop spazzing you babies. The team is exhausted but they don't have to play every 3 days now (getting out of Europa is a blessing at this point)

Why do VAR give refs a million angles for every other team, but when it's against us it's always the shortest, shittest and only one angle? Billion pound league and we can't give refs more than ONE angle?

Need to beat Chelsea Fulham and wolves at home. Surely even we can scruff that, current form notwithstanding. I wouldn’t put money on us beating West Ham or Bournemouth away though.

We won't. Too far ahead. They're not good enough. Brighton will finish ahead of them.

Very easy to knee jerk, we will get 9 points from the remaining games.

Tonight always looked like the toughest of our last 7 or 8 games so it's no shame to lose to a good Brighton side and we're still in a strong position with not only a 4 point buffer but a game in hand. Our performances haven't been good for a while but we've at least generally been winning our home games, win our last 3 at Old Trafford and we're fine.

Never seen a team pass the ball as badly as us. We didn't deserve a point there. Casemiro gets too much credit, he's been mostly shite for us. Fred is still Fred. Sancho offers nothing, nor does Werg. Dave is a liability every game and Bruno is bang average.
Harsh on DDG. He kept us in the game till the end. He’s never saving a penalty but Shaw made two brain dead mistakes at the end of the match that threw away the point. Shame too because he was easily MOTM.

This is so pathetic. We're 4 points ahead with a game in hand. This was our hardest game left. Relax for God's sake

We're still going to be fine.
Liverpool haven't been playing well either. Brentford at Anfield will not be an easy game for them.

It is nailed on now. Liverpool are winning all their matches and we need to win 4.
Calm down we need to win 3 from 6, the issue is goals and our inability to take proper chances. Liverpool will win their 4 games, we need 9 points we still needed 3 wins even if this was a draw.


What we do know is certain players don’t have the bottle to play for Man united under ETH and we all know who they are ?

A meaningless word thrown around as casually as bottling by people who deal in platitudes and cliches
Top 4 was supposedly tied up in Feb itself anytime to many on here and yet with 5 games remaining, we will need at least 11 more points.

With an attack which is unable to score, no passing, can't keep the ball for a supposed big team, it's choking just as we are near the finish line. Bottle job.

Liverpool are probably aware that we have a shite mentality and will be able to make it if they keep the pressure on. We probably will miss out because we do not have a team that can handle pressure.

It's crazy how anyone thinks West Ham away is an easy game. No, we haven't played our most difficult games yet and we are woeful away from home.
