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

[Toulousain85]

But what worries me is line ups pep will pick if either sidw of the champions league semis if we maje it through

They have the same worries. Playing Thursday night Europa League semifinals is also draining. As someone posted above, we play mainly mid table teams with nothing to play for. We can always worry but we can also recognize that this is an opportunity that will probably never surface again. Next season are we going to be at least 8p above with 6 matches remaining and still going strong in all the cups? We have our issues (especially the forward position), so all the cups will be tough, but I'm not worried about the league. We have more than enough to get over the line. Pep will play strong team against Aston Villa (without Grealish) to win early and save ourselves for the League Cup final. From then United are going to drop points, especially with Liverpool soon out of Europe and Leicester already out.

Rags got two games in hand as well could be close this. Arrogance might be our downfall.

Peps arrogance.

Not ours.

What pisses me off with Pep is he is always responsible for our defeats.

Yeah i know you take the rough with the smooth, he wins us a shit load, and you will always lose games.

We never lose with our best 11 on the Pitch, so you think "You know what fair enough".

It is Pep getting bored with winning,

He actually does better when we have players out injured and the team literally picks it self.

La porte was out injured.

Dias and Stones form an incredible understanding and partnership. We go an insane amount of games with not even conceding a goal. Pep gets bored, soon as La porte is back from injury, he starts fucking about again. We scrape through with narrow wins, but we start conceding, when we were not conceding.

That abomination in Lyon when we saw our Bench at the end was mind boggling.

When KDB came back from injury i thought he was going to give him a cardiac arrest the amount of game time he was getting whilst clearly unfit.

KDB gets up to speed. Rediscovers his form

We finish against 10 man Leeds with KDB on the Bench. Game was screaming for his creativity.

really dont get him sometimes. We have won fuck all yet.

I’ll say this for them they aren’t giving up and the number of times they are losing and win is crazy. They’ve got great team spirit if nothing else.

Im glad we have got the gap we have and wouldn’t swap.

They do have that for sure. I knew they would win within 5 mins of second half starting. We just need to do what we need to do and forget about other teams

 

[Barcon]

I sincerely hope so. PM after Villa and Palace, and if City win both those games, you can take the piss. But even after the next 2 games, there are still 12 points to play for, which is still enough for United to do the unimaginable, and win the title, after we have been 17 points in-front of them.

No desire to take the piss mate (other than at the losers in second place come the end of the season.).

 

[HamannCheese]

Were we 17 points ahead of second place at one stage? What happened?

 

[Blue Theatre]

We’ve lost two games in our last 28 fixtures. We’d have to lose three of our remaining six fixtures to blow the league. Not going to happen.

Take your point, but not strictly true ... for example, if we won 2, drew 2 & lost 2 then Utd could afford to draw one & still win the league.

 

[Sir peace frog]

To play a second team against Leeds. Who were on form

Wasn't arrogant, we had enough chances to win 3 matches, our rotation has got us in a great position,I keep seeing arrogant, it's bollocks, we have 2 "finals" in the next week ,we have to protect the players if we didn't we would be fucked now, as it is we are going into a must win week fresh and raring to go

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Quick question:
Please name the football side that has been flawless and had no “Achilles heel”?

I'm guessing it was a Greek team.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Do people really think we won’t get 11 points from Villa Palace Brighton Newcastle & Everton.

Havent put the Chelsea game in their as they will be a tough ask.

if we don’t then we only have ourselves to blame
