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

[Protein Junkie]

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

And if we win Wednesday we will still concentrate on winning the Prem

The cityitis fever is coming out on some of you on here ,you need to chill out & take it one game at a time , don't look to far ahead.
Lets get ready for the dortmund game then go again after that.

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

We rested De Bruyne, Mahrez,Rodri, Dias, Walker, Gundo, Foden.

Oh dear. What a Carry On eh, Sid?

Outstanding work.

If we’d have lost to Leicester and beaten Leeds, would there be the same level of panic? No.

Wednesday will tell us a lot, exorcise some champions league ghosts and the morale from that is likely to take us to a minimum a league and one cup double.

 

[Heath Park]

We couldn’t have done much more than win every game but one!

Pep has to manage the squad to give us the best chance of winning as many trophies as possible. It doesn’t matter if we win the PL by 11 points or 3.

Would be quite nice to win it on goal difference again. Teehee.

agree, far too easy to start thinking about what ifs. the most important and rational thing to do is look to wednesday and no further

Annoyingly had Pep took the Derby seriously it would have been over and done with by now.

I am still fuming over that shambles....all on Pep, wrong team selection and tactics..we made them look like world beaters..We embarrass ourselves sometimes...

 

[Roachy]

I reckon united will get beat later. Then all the flappers can calm down again!

You were saying?

 

[Akpowell]

The meltdown on here is embarrassing.

United a currently 80-1 to win the league, we are 1-1000.

It's embarrassing that people are saying 8 points ahead with 6 games renaming is a scary prospect.

Pull yourself together.

I'm not a pair of curtains (sorry)

This weekend Utd gone from 420 at Betfair to 55...really dont want it to get stressful. The problem I see is the relentless fixture schedule.

At least we're not playing on a Thursday night, that is shit.

 

[chesterbells]

Might put a tenner on the rags if the bookies open , just in case like

Do their shops open again tomorrow? If so, I think I may well be providing some business their way.

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

Why is it an excuse? Why do you even feel you need an excuse?

We lost a game of football. One that on another day we could have won. It hasn't put us out of a competition, hasn't put key players who have played a lot of games in a row out of the run-in either.

 

[Gray]

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.

Don’t forget those of us of a certain age, who have witnessed some amazing cock-ups over the intervening years.

 

[borninm14]

I think City fans possibly over 35 suffer from Cityitis and there’s very little can be done to change it, years and years of messing things up will be forever in the memory. I am well over that age and unless they discover a vaccine for it we are stuck. Suggest we try to chill as best we can and take it one game at a time.

 

[Robanompivenov]

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.

And assume United win all of theirs. Also not going to happen.

 

[foggy1974]

The issue is that yesterday's defeat gives us less flexibility to rotate if we get through on Wednesday.
Hence yesterday's selection was IMO a mistake.
We could have gone with a better side yesterday without tiring key players for Wednesday.

If the next 2 games had been league games then it wouldn't of been such a rotated team. Wednesday is huge with the possibility of extra time & penalties same on Saturday. Once the UCL semis are here the Carabou final will be done & we will know our fate in the fa cup.

Even after the result, I still feel it was the right time to risk a defeat. If we lose on Wednesday, Pep will go full on in the league.

 

[manimanc]

Amazing the increase in negative posts after the rags win. It's almost like a load of utd fans have got giddy, think they are going to catch us and all these shit posts start flooding in.
City trolling utd again lol
