Mancini is telling us this 90 points stuff in the last few weeks. We had a very great first half of the league collecting 45 points in 19 matches.
We have 19 matches more to collect another 45 points. I just don't see it.
We have 3 groups of matches:
Must win home matches against "weaker" sides:
Fulham, Blackburn, Sunderland, WBA, QPR, Bolton. 6 matches.
My prediction is optimistic: 5 wins, 1 draw-> 16 points.
Away matches that will decide title probably:
Wigan, Stoke, Everton, Villa, Swansea, Norwich, Wolves, Newcastle 8 matches.
My prediction is based on our away form and last year result against these teams:
4 wins, 2 draws, 2 loss. 14 points. (Maybe a bit pessimistic. Is it? I would say at least 4 points or 6 for WBA/Sunderland matches and we came home with only 1 point.)
"Top teams against top teams":
Arsenal (away)
Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, MU (all home)
My prediction: 3 w, 2 d. If we can get more than my predicted 11 points that is fantastic.
11+14+16=41 points.
And it is with the hope we don't run into any major injury hell like United now. If we do it is closer to 30 points than 40.
86 in all. It still can be enough.
United plays away to Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs but they already played away to Stoke, Everton, Villa. I see a better chance for Spurs to roll over for them than Stoke, Everton or Villa for us.
Hell of a run in that's gonna be.
