Who Will Pose A Threat Next Season

United will be a huge threat next year and different to this year and its likely one of the top 5 will not be playing Champs Lge football next year giving them more opportunities to prepare.

The standard of the league below the top 5/6 is pretty poor and so if a side gets on a good run they can be difficult to catch.

Also the big test for ourselves is how we motivate ourselves next year. Teams can easily drop their level and we saw that only last week against Basel. That more than anything else is likely to influence if we retain the trophy.

That's why in the summer we have to be motivated to win the CL and buy accordingly.

SMS and Zaha. Get it done Txiki. Go bold.
 
just wondering do we need a plan B to retain the title next season, maybe buy a tall striker for a more direct approach, I dont know how Pep will set up for both champions league & premier league glory but I think we need to be more pragmatic, your thoughts on this, because pundits are tipping us/Pep to build a dynasty, wanting us to fail of course.
 
It seems strange that the only two teams to beat city in the league have then gone on to lose their very next game to the divisions bottom placed club.
It's almost like they have had to put so much into that performance against city that they hadnt anything left in the tank the next game...
Or alternatively, they have realised that victory was the pinnacle of their league season and then stopped playing/trying....the true definition of mercenary football players, playing for their own pride and not for their fans.

Let's enjoy and party these last few games first. Plenty of time for thinking in the summere
 
We do play a brand that it is tiring for oppositions and obviously takes a lot out of our players as well.

The amount of sustained running required now is much greater than under RM and MP and the opposition who is fittest and has the best run with injuries with having a fair degree of quality and mental strength to stay in the game when things are not looking so great will always challenge.

I don't think any one side will dominate year in year out as far as challenging for the title.

This year was exceptional and we were the only side going to win it from the outset as it turned out , most other years will be closer but we will be in the hunt most years and are best placed to continue that.
 
Liverpool will be a massive threat next season. They are a couple of players short of a title winning team . There main concern is to keep hold of there top players. Love it if we went in big for mo salah but I think he will stay
 
Complacency will be the biggest threat. Vinny hit the nail on the head when he talked about getting players focused for next season. In terms of teams it depends in who has the best summer and which players come back fresh enough after the WC.

Don't think pep will allow complacency.
 
Our biggest threat will be injuries, suspensions, losing focus, making our own mistakes and not getting the signings right.

If things go our way in those areas we will be looking at a season that smashes the records of this one. Never mind any other teams.
 
Biggest threat is coming off a World Cup with very little rest for many of our players and hampered preparation for the new season.
 


Micky Quinn thinks the dippers will because of Klopp's pashun.
 
I think Liverpool have been the 2nd best side this season and in this instance the table does lie because United have been rubbish mostly.

We are so far ahead though that I think we will win it again next season

I think you are right, I can see them going out spending big in the summer to try and close the gap but can you imagine if they fall 6 points behind after the first 7-8 games the fans will go into meltdown again.
