We were self destructing this time last season, and it took a monumental winning streak through Dec-February to make the season look half acceptable. We'll see if we pull off something like that this year.Just a point worse that corresponding fixtures last year - not all doom and gloom.
Point Differential vs last year
- Thread starter Suedesi
- Start date
It’s not really about timing, it’s how are doing vs the corresponding fixtures last season.
It’s not rosy obviously, but some perspective is needed especially as half the Caf is losing their minds over ‘relegation’.
6 points worse off than corresponding fixtures last year, 13-games in it's a decent sample size...
Not very encouraging, is it? We’re actually doing worse than last year...
Did you compile this yourself? If so, great work man. Though, it confirms that we're up the shit creek without a paddle.
It is a really bleak picture. What makes it worse and dig into those results and the points dropped are hardly against the top teams.
We lost 7 from away games last season. Maybe those losses turned into draws?
Despite our injury problems and a thin squad, we certainly can do better this season. Hopefully.
Yep, been keeping track of it since the first couple of weeks.
-4 points in comparison with the same point in fixtures time last season, had -1 GD, +4 GD now.
Good work man and I know there isn't much you can do about it but Sheffield aren't the equivalent of Fulham given how well they are doing.
Seeing as we started so poorly and are getting bit of goal scoring form together it will interesting to see what it's like at half-way.
I still feel Ole will finish this season but I can´t really see him staying longer than that.
God I hope you’re right, but we aren’t finishing 3rd
. Feel free to verbally abuse me if I’m wrong, I’ll be happy to take it!No way we will be better off than last season, people forgetting last season included an incredible run when Ole first took over.
Can't see you winning that many away. 1 win in 7, got Man. City next up and then in second half of the season trips to Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and Leicester which aren't all going to be 3 points.
Going to be a 55-60 point season I think so similar to the Moyes year.

Yeah exactly. To be honest I'm expecting us to have the worst season we have had since the early Fergie years.
We need a huge improvement for second half of season. 2/3 players could change things.
Originally, I thought that we'd finish in 8th place. This was in the Summer, when many people were talking about us getting top 3 (using their silly logic).
However, I can see that some of our attackers are beginning to gel and D.James has turned out to be a good signing.
With this in mind, I think that we may finish in 6th, which will be 1 place better than D.Moyes.
It’s pretty shocking we are unlikely to reach number of points Mourinho had when he was sacked after 17 games. Need three wins out of four which I think has zero chance of happening.
Keep up the good work man. It's always interesting looking at stuff like that.
Exactly. Ole's form is worse than his predecessors -- he's got to go.
A lot has happened since the 5th September. Our results have not improved at all. I think we'll be lucky to get anywhere near 4th now.God I hope you’re right, but we aren’t finishing 3rd
We finished on 64 pts under Moyes. Currently, we are on course to 49 pts. A massive improvement is needed just to match Moyes' United.
Still, if the youngsters turn out to be top talents, a shocking season like that is acceptable. But it's a big IF. We are like Arsenal who are experimenting with several youngsters and are far from competing for CL places. The first objective of a top club is to compete for big trophies. Developing youngsters should be a bonus, nothing more. Youngsters might or might not become top players.
This is actually the worst amount of points Man Utd have had after 13 games in our Premiership history. Three points worse in fact than any other season. Let that sink in.
Worse than meltdown Mourinho which as we all know is the worst version of him. And he's still in the job. Madness.
And yet there doesn't seem to be any proper talk of a sacking.
I don't think anyone is seriously worried about relegation, but the fact anyone is mentioning it at all shows how abject we are. Ole is a poor manager, no getting away from it.
Our fixtures have been generous so far this season. It’s only going to get worse.
We've had a slightly tougher run of league games this year when compared to the first 13 of last season but haven't had to deal with Champions league, including a double header against Juve, on top of it.
