Yeah if you're not aware league positions are determined by points and not by performances and there we are leading by 8 points.
Yeah our solitary point at home against Southampton is a country mile better since getting beat 7-0 by them.
Yeah you clearly haven't seen any Liverpool games except the 7-0. Just another caf member who loves a good moan.
And you must have been watching a different United because performing a 'country mile' better than anyone in the PL at the moment we are not.
I don't think form stretches across 3 months.
That was not the conversation a few weeks before the internationals. The goalposts are moving rapidly. The talk was on chasing down City, maybe even an outside crack at the title.
Liverpool have zero chance of top 4. The only teams 3 teams fighting for 2 places is Utd, Newcastle and spurs.
Most realistic utd fans never had us in the title race. The media tried to make out we were.
To be honest their next 2 games (Chelsea away and Arsenal at home) will be crucial. If they get good results in those games I wouldn't rule them out just yet.
Tbh even if Liverpool beat chelsea and Arsenal I still don’t fancy them to get top 4. They had a decent run recently which appears to have been a false dawn. All the “winnable” games you mention are where they have had a problem all season. There’s nothing that is winnable for them at the moment. They have lost to a 20th placed team 3 times this season. Nothing in the bottom half is winnable for them right now.
Just Fulham in November
Don't think the likes of Forest,Bournemouth or West Ham will be easy either
West Ham will be tough. They've drastically underperformed and are in reality more Villa level.
Just remember Forest have only lost to Spurs at home of the supposed top sides
Newcastle beat them too, and you guys comfortably did as well in the league cup. Think there's some overreacting going on in here
I cant see us beating Brentford next week, Brentford are a decent side and are capable of scoring goals against us while we are struggling to even get a shot on target at the moment.
We are a different team at Old Trafford and will have revenge on our mind and the need to bounce back. I will be very surprised if we fail to win either of the 2 games.
We were terrible at home against Southampton the other week and was outplayed at home by Fulham up until the red cards
We had a red card the entire game against Southampon where the ref also fecked us out of a clear pen, and yes, played like shit but still beat Fulham (and in the end had 3.36 xG to their 0.87). It is not comparable. Our home form is excellent. It's why we deservedly beat City, Arsenal and Liverpool there. It's why we deservedly beat Barcelona there. We have been a different team all season at Old Trafford compared to playing away.
Yeah, but it's not Casemiro's fault that his replacement is McT
We probably need two wins to get out of this funk and restore some semblance of positivity going into the run in. The team look physically tired and mentally jaded - we're relying on Casemiro, Eriksen and Martial coming back in, shaking things up a bit and restoring some energy. Rashford needs to start scoring again, too - we've now gone three Premier League games without a goal.
I would love to have a bit of optimism but we're just so bad away from home against pretty much everyone. I can't even recall an away game in the league where we've played well for a full 90 minutes. Maybe Villa? Odds are that we'll drop points in most of our remaining away fixtures.
I will be reacting like they did that's for sure
Two games in hand (Brentford & Brighton, shudders at mentions of them two)
+4 is shocking and worst since 89/90Hope we’ve got a good goal difference
The sendings off where a joke both of them when you consider grabbing a collar was one and the other wasn't as bad a tackle as others that got off by the referee who sent off Casemiro doing var the next day.
