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

[Blue Mist]

You won't be saying that when they're only 5 points behind us

Jeez, even Sky Tyler has Noddy finishing second. Turn it off please

This is today's reality. Forget our 8 point lead, it means fuck all. The rags are getting 84 points. Their only hard games on paper are Leicester and Liverpool and I don't see them troubling them. That means we need to win three and draw one of our six remaining games, that's if our goal difference stays superior. Suddenly, from coasting, that's a bit of a pressure situation. We've also got three cup games minimum to play too, more if we're successful in those games. I'm even more annoyed now losing to a ten man newly promoted club yesterday. The rotation/resting has backfired because it now means we can't do it for later games probably. Well we can but we risk blowing the league if we make as many changes as yesterday.

yep! Far too many changes yesterday and we paid the price unfortunately! Could have started stronger and then made changes if comfortable

Hypothetical but humour me.

If we lose to Villa and it’s 5 infront with 5 to play can we panic then?...

 

[Akpowell]

You and me both. How come they can play virtually the same team every game whilst we are rotating like a spinning top. How do you get consistency doing that.

Perhaps we should be doing it

IN-CRED-A-BLE. B-)

That's the point though, even if we have an end to the season as bad as the start and United have a perfect record from now on we still win the league.

That's how comfortable it is.

Us not winning the league is as likely as Leeds or Villa will finish top 4 but no one on here would dream of saying that is a possibility as they have some objectivity.

I bet there is more confidence of the rags winning the league on here than there is on redcafe ffs.

I agree with you. I’m quite calm, personally, I just don’t mind it when people get worried as it’s just different personality traits coming through.

 

[Akpowell]

United do have the dippers and Leicester mind

They'll still fucking win

 

[Coatigan]

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 .

We didn't rest 7 players. We rested 3.

 

[jaiguruKun]

I suppose if we go out on Wednesday at least it means we can concentrate on finishing the job off in the PL.

If he rests players for Villa he wants fucking

I will take one for the team
