How many points will be needed to win the league? (74 GD)

[Roachy]

You think they'll win them all?

I doubt it, but I never rule anything out. Hell, people were predicting a 4, 5 goal walloping of the Red shite today and then then we don't turn up. How do you think they'll fare?

 

[citytill1die84]

he has but he wasnt at his best before his injruy...didnt look fit then either. Noone is saying he is awful/a flop but by his extremely high standards he has been considerably off

Yet he's going to cost us the title ffs

 

[kanovic]

Hope so, what games will the rags not win out of interest?

Any of theirs lol have you seen them play this season? It’s a hit or miss each game

They won't catch us that's how they'll fare.

 

[Roachy]

I agree but do you think they'll win all theirs?

again no one has said that so stop overreacting......however based on he last 21 games foden and Bernardo should be picked head of him in the next match s their performances have been better.

Absolutely not

I'm overreacting? Haha fucking hell

 

[chaddblue]

I still think we'll win the league by 12 points

Their run-in is harder than ours in my opinion

Win the next two v Southampton and Fulham and it's practically over as we will need a maximum of 5 wins from 8 games... in reality maybe 3 as the rags or Leicester won't win every game

However get a poor return from the next two and I'll be flapping

 

[Roachy]

Absolutely not

Hopefully today's points are the last ones they'll get all season.

Hope so haha

Just come back from an injury ffs people making out like he's finished

I don't think that's fair. I've said he's in poor form, which is far from saying he's finished.

 

[Dobsy]

He has been injured.... how do you get match fitness back without playing? Give it a rest..if he just had one moment of brilliance no one would have said anything.

Respectfully disagree, he gave the ball away a lot and you don't see it often from him, so I certainly would have noticed regardless. I don't doubt that he's still the best player in the league and he'll be fine, just notice that he's off form at the moment. You can get match fitness back by playing, sure, just maybe not in one of the most important games of the season.

Surprised by the strength of reaction to that comment tbh, just stating a fact really.

He did have one moment of brilliance.. an inch perfect defence splitting cross that Sterling make a complete balls up of

do you not agree that KDB's performances have been below par since he returned....

Or that foden and Bernardo have been excelent in our run of wins

Or that the balance of the team looks off with KDB in their at present....not just me that thinks this.

Just looked at the utd fixture list properly and there is a reasonable chance that bar Leeds they don’t play anyone that has nothing to play for until the last game of the season which is Wolves. The other 8 is against teams that are either competing for top 4 or facing the drop. The interesting part is that the fixtures where that game intensity may change are sooner rather than later. For example they play West Ham next.. who I expect to fall away from the CL spots eventually but at this point will still believe and Burnley who I expect to stay up but will unlikely to be anywhere near safety when they play.

Their fixtures are well tough.

4 left at home for us, and 6 away

A Lingard-less West Ham. He's been a big part of their most recent form and was really good against us. West Ham were abject against United at Old Trafford in the cup

I do agree he's been under par but that doesn’t mean we won't beat Southampton or Fulham if he played ffs.

Home & away literally means fuck all in this climate
