I agree with the OP. And what we've done so far has been done with a set of forwards and Yaya who have been nowhere near top form. God help the Premier league when we're on song!
I believe that United will drop points and that we can beat them at their place, but, its still a tall order to go virtually the rest of the season unbeaten. That's what's going to be needed - especially if RVP stays fit.
Doable, but, a very tall order. The good thing is that, this time - and forever into the future - they know that we know how to catch them - and that's what will make them wobble even more than they did at the end of last season.
