16 Points - Sense of Perspective

[waspish]

Here is a different perspective......

What was the lead that utd threw away that led to the aguero moment??? And with how many games to go. My memory says 9 pts but i cannt remember how many games that was to go with.....

By the time we play spurs our lead could be 10 pts. Complacency cannot be allowed to set in as its not over.

6 games to go and 8 point lead they threw away

OP What you say is 100% true. However Im still gutted. Once in a life time opportunity to really stick it up em and we blew it. We still talk about 74 and 'relegating' them. Football is not just about logic it's about feelings and passion. About taking the mickey out of your Utd mates and telling anyone who wil listen about the time we beat our biggest rivals to win the league.

Thats all gone.

Rationally we win the league in a few games and we all celebrate but not winning yesterday takes 10% off it for me. Pep talked about winning the league with Barca against Real so he knew how important it was to us all.

One small caveat to justify the team selection yeaterday is if we somehow beat Liverpool but I really cant see it.

Pfff still gutted.

Sense of perspective doesn't come into it,yesterday was a game the fans wanted and pep wants tues,total
disconnect

The owner wants it. I wouldn't have liked to be Pep on the end of that phone call from Khaldoon after a 3-0 dicking at the dips.

Ok then yeah, we dug in away at old toilet, Stamford bridge and at Huddersfield when we were losing il give you that, so why have we conceded 6 goals in 40 mins the last two games then, what I'm trying to say is if we concede lets fucking dig in abit, there was no reason why we had to concede 3 at Anfield n 3 yesterday, what would you say it was then mentality or not managing the game?

Liverpool were the better side and deserved the win simple as that. Nothing to do with mentality. They were just better.

Yesterday we should’ve been out of sight. At 2-0 Sterling had 3 and Gundogan had 2, great chances to score and didn’t take them. That’s just poor technique. Nothing to do with mentality. We also should’ve had a clear penalty and red card and hit the post at the end. We were incredibly unlucky. Nothing to do with mentality.

Our defending was shit for their goals. There’s no evidence that was mentality based though. It was just poor defending

Who says they didn’t ‘keep cool’?

Their technique was off. They’re human beings, it happens.

Are you suggesting every time a player doesn’t execute an action correctly it’s because they’ve lost their heads?

Sadly, in Sterling’s case, I think it is.......whenever he has time to think in a goal scoring situation it often goes horribly wrong.

8 points with 6 games to go, we will win the league no worries, all anyone is saying is it should of been yesterday.

Cheers

13 pt lead and six games to go but lose to spurs and a urd win and its a 10 pt lead a 5 to go.....spurs game is huge and off the back of a champs league game its going to be very difficult...

It will be closer thsn evreyone thinks. People saying its won are just wrong

He may well do but there was no reason we couldn't have had an historic win and then go into tues on a high,i'm sure 4 of our best players did not need to sit on the bench yesterday,they are fit young atheletes who can play both,he just didn't respect the fans yesterday,barca v madrid for the title messi wouldn't have been on the bench

So when Sterling does score, which he does frequently, his head is ok?

His head only goes sometimes?

You’re confusing mentality with technique.

In hindsight there was not much wrong with the team selection 2-0 up at half time with a host of miss opotunities .school boy errors led to there goals.
