They were seconds away from dropping points. I'm sure everyone also accepts that home games are easier than away regardless of the opposition. Maybe not...When we hammered Fulham "It's only Fulham".
How is it not a positive in any way that they have 9 home games left (out of 15) where they play no team above them? They can also drop points in at least 3 of them and still be ahead of us.
No, Fulham are dreadful, they're going down. It's just more pro Pochettino propaganda on here.
Liverpool.
This
That was my point.
A draw would've left them 6 points from safety with 15 games left - It was more than enough for a match versus Spurs.
They have 3 massive games against top 6 teams away. They aren't nailed on 3rd just yet.
I think they meant the teams fighting for top 4
Because they've played every top side at home and are only 7 points clear of fifth and lay 8th in the home table? They still have some horrendous away fixtures to navigate. They had a huge advantage with how the fixtures panned out and shit the bed quite frankly.
It's great the top 6 in it now. That should be enoughI think they meant the teams fighting for top 4
Not sure people should be pointing to their home games as an advantage either, they've played 10 home games up till now and lost 4 of them. 2 of their 6 wins were narrow 1-0's as well
Yeah perfect, I actually expect us, Arsenal and Chelsea all to be level in 5 games timeIt's great the top 6 in it now. That should be enough
No way we are getting 85 points of possible 89.
I don't think United as a club are that petty as some of the fans sound (on the Caf). Every game is a must win game, regardless of being 1st or 18th.
Those are some inflated numbers.
They're still in four competitions as well. It'd be impressive if Pochettino can win something and keep them in the top four after losing three key players all at once.
I'm sure he is and I agree. Anything but Liverpool winning the league.
The league has got weaker.
To date there has never been a prem season where more than one team ends up on 90+ points. It does look like it could happen this year though. For City to get 99 pts they require 14 wins and one draw. Possible but very difficult especially considering how many cup games they will have as well. I think more realistic totals would see the winner and runner up on 95 and 91, with fourth place on 80 (still a record for 4th).
I can see City doing that. They look at their clinical best right now and confidence will be raised even further when they put 6 past Arsenal.
Pretty sure the Caf could put six past Arsenal.
Caf fc vs arsenal vs dt fc...
If City did manage that it would mean we could afford one defeat and one draw - two defeats and it would go to goal difference.
Too soon. No new contract for Ole now.
I keep saying this but it is Spurs that need seeing through. Even with the headstart they have it could get tough without three of their four best players. Chelsea are a level above United and this hasn't been changed by the resurgence under Solskjaer. With or without Higuain. The main benefit of his arrival is actually Hazard being pushed to his natural and best position.
