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

[come-on-barney]

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.

Didn’t seem to be a problem today

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.

You are not winning anything ...

I still think dippers will beat them. Especially if madrid kick them out of the champions league. Dippers need top 4 Rags is a must win game

Protect the players fair enough, Dortmund played full strength yesterday and won if they turn us over this week what's the excuse then?

And Bayern played with a subpar team, tied and it's now "only" 5 points above Leipzig. Do you think they care? They know they'll win the Bundesliga. That's a top team mentality.

In trying to win everything we could end up with nothing! Personally I'd have rather have beaten Leeds than play a depleted team in the belief it may prolong our efforts in the Champions League.

Our problem is we never seem to learn that eventually something has to give in our quest to win everything. If we were only faced with trying to secure the Premier League and the Champions League we may have half a chance, but playing all 4 has turned April into a prime example of how if you spread yourself to thinly you become ineffective. Not only are teams sheets becoming random exercises in who's least tired, such a methodology seldom puts out our best 11 and as such our coherence suffers. I could have named United's team today and they have only one way of playing so can predictably grind results.

This is going to be one hell of a stressful month.

We definitely don’t rest 7 players because no matter how good we are changing that many against a very dangerous team who went toe to toe with us last year is fucking stupid and all it has done is just put pressure on us when it was not needed and if we do win the title this season we better sign a top striker because next season will be very difficult as both Utd and Liverpool and Chelsea will strengthen and one of them could have haaland up front .

So you would risk injuries for the Dortmund game ? besides don’t you understand we should’ve won that game yesterday with the amount of goal attempts to their 2. Nothing wrong with that team selection. It was a smash and grab freak result.

 

[chesterbells]

Nope, I genuinely think they’ll win all their remaining league games. Just a gut feeling and not based on any rational analysis. Just think they will and that we’ll need those 11 points.

And I think a few more may agree with you now ;-)

 

[Cobwebcat]

It’s in our hands so has nothing to do with what other teams do If we keep winning.

United put 3 past Spurs.

Liverpool's defence isn't going to stop United's attack.

Liverpool were very average against an average Villa team.

The coach’s mentality is we try and win all the comps we enter. Personally I love it
