That's probably about right, though I think the title winning points score is going to be lower this time than the last couple of seasons. You can lose 7 games in the season (drawing 4) and still finish on 85 points, so there's still plenty to play for.nwhn3 said:By my estimation I think we can only afford to drop maybe 10 to 13 more points, so yes we can still win it but we need to to put a run together now. Can't afford too much more inconsistency.

Hope so. But realistically, they have had a phenomenal sequence of results stretching right back to the later days of last season and if they keep it up, they will win the title.

Not likely, we have Kompany back but that just proved that the problem is midfield. You can win without playing well, and without a tight defence, and without huge amounts of physical 'grit'. You can still defend by attrition by highly structured possesion and good shape. We just go for quick attack every time. Quick passes and flicks rather than nurse possesion and let the opponents run themselves out. And the excellent attacking runs are so frequent we can't keep a good shape. There is no such thing as more than the sum of the parts, tactically, no 'magic formula'. It's all swings and roundabouts. The magic factors are belief, sacrifice of each individual to the whole, and application.
We look a lot more solid than we did at the start of the season.
We'll probably be 8 points behind by tomorrow, but 2 seasons ago Utd turned round a deficit and went 8 points clear. I don't see City's challenge melting away at any stage, indeed I think we will get stronger as the season goes on.
It might take Jovetic a couple of months to get up to the pace of the game, but he could make an impact in the New Year. And remember that we are without our best player at the moment, and have been for a month.

This for me too.
We need to beat them and Liverpool but even then I fear we are just too inconsistent away from home.Just watched the game v Soton and to be honest am now more than happy with a draw.

I've said it before and I will say it again:
We will not win the league this season. Defensively we are way off where we need to be.
Title winning teams do not concede with the frequency we do.
Exciting it will be but in terms of trophies I think not.

You do know we play them next week, right. So it's even more about what we do in the near future as well
as long term.

We return Thursday morning needing a result from the Napoli game
You have already qualified so can rest players
The Etihad marks our 3rd tough game in 6 days

True. And remember, while United's 89 points won the title last year, 79 points would also have won it for them. Won't be surprised if 75/76 points does it this season. All to play for. Silly to think otherwise.
