Upthemags Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 1 minute ago, The College Dropout said: Man U are joint 5th. How could they not be in the CL running? If they continue to beat the bottom 10 sides home and away they will be in the running. Thats 60 points to gain. If we don’t start beating bottom half teams away from home soon, we’ll not be in the running. With the quality at the top of the table this season I don't think beating up on the bottom feeders is going to be enough. Table is much more top heavy than last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Title winning form. Who cares who it's against? We got the same amount of points against Arsenal and Everton as you did against Arsenal and Everton. If you think beating bottom half teams isn't important then I don't know what to say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham, Brighton, Brentford and Chelsea are all better sides with better managers. Add Bournemouth to this list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Aye I knew they'd come good under Iraola but didn't think they'd react like this after the Wolves defeat. Flying now. They had a really tough start as well. Edited December 9, 2023 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geogaddi Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 4 hours ago, Froggy said: You beat pretty much our entire second string in the league cup and you beat us comfortably in the league with 2 out of our starting back 6 available with Martial and Rashford jogging about. Once again, we've had 17 injuries this season as well with other players unavailable for other reasons. Newcastle aren't the only team with absentees, though at this moment your situation is the worst out of anyone. You're using away defeats against Newcastle and City as a barometer for why we won't get top four, so why are Newcastle in consideration after getting comprehensively beaten by Bournemouth and absolutely torn to shreds by Everton who most of you laughed at as relegation fodder this season. Injuries or not those results are extremely poor. Top four race will be good To suggest we're not in consideration is extremely silly. I am adding getting torn to shreds at home to Bournemouth as another reason I don't think you will finish top 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Brighton and Man United dropping points is a massive bonus, if we could some how get a win tomorrow, or even draw, we'll be in a half decent position with players starting to come back.

Well, dunno about that like. We were comfortable enough and were coming into the game then one player made two massive mistakes. We’d 61% possession, had Tripps not did what he did we may well have went on to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The xG was 3.17 to 1.27. We had 69% possession today and two of their goals were from two massive mistakes. I'm just in favour of balance and hate hypocrisy. And that's not aimed at you by the way.

You don’t honestly think Brighton / Man U will have any influence on us achieving top 4 / 5 surely? They’re way behind the current top 4. In quality if not points.

I mean, Man United are currently ahead of us (Even if I have no fucking clue as to how they are), and the other are level on points, so if we're in with a shout of top four then they certainly are. And any time they drop points is noteworthy while everything is so close. Edited December 9, 2023 by 54 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
