TRon Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 10 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: I think they have a consistent style of play. It just doesn't consistently work in terms of goals. They typically don't concede many, keep the ball a lot, don't create tons of chances and miss more chances than they should. As long as Jackson remains their primary striker they'll continue to miss chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola14 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Man U now ahead of us after winning 7 games against weaker opposition all by 1 goal is very annoying. Maybe I'm not giving them enough credit for grinding out victories but seems the fixture list has been much kinder to them - every defeat against anyone decent generally followed by an easy run of games. At least their next three are tough (assuming we don't get more injuries in the meantime). Edited November 14, 2023 by Ginola14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look, dare I say, a potential top 4 threat if they keep on their form One thing I've remembered during this last year for us, is if you're top four or five, it's fucking difficult to stay there, and it's even more difficult to climb the league, because you've got almost no room whatsoever for duff results. Chelsea are still way too inconsistent, and seem to have managed to combine spending half a billion with still having glaring holes in their squad, and nothing resembling a striker.

midds Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Ferguson has been like an evil ghost looming over every single manager since he fucked off. I totally get why they loved the bloke but he's that constant reminder of how good they used to be. Every time they concede or lose a big game the camera seems to cut to him looking furious that the current team aren't as good or successful as he and his team used to be 15 years ago. Fans watching get the "we used to win games like that under him" and "this would have never happened under Fergie" etc is always there. He's a constant, visual benchmark that makes every other subsequent Man U manager look bad It's fucking brilliant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) He’s *the* symbol of something that will never happen again; in English football in all likelihood. In truth Ancelotti was the only man capable of following him and playing ‘that’ way and they should’ve appointed him the moment he left Madrid 8/9 years ago, but it didn’t happen.

AJ9 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 If we come through this within touching distance by January, and we have a squad back, we could be very very dangerous in the second half of the season. Still think we need to manage expectations given our injuries but Eddie has a way of constantly outperforming, so who the fuck knas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BShearer Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 last time I had a look at the coefficients its not so great for England, 5th place worth CL thingy is very much in the balance right now. Its a big fight between Spain, Germany, England because I dont think Italians will manage to go big in business end of season like last year (they had finalists in all big finals) so far English clubs are having bit mediocre results, lots of unexpected bad results from Brighton in EL, for MU in CL struggling vs the likes of Galata, Copenhagen, us getting shafted with the group of death, Arsenal, Pool advancing but still had surprise losses to French clubs, so overall it could have been better but lots to play for in all series. once group stage is over and we see who is still alive we can see more clearly. if MU and us getting only 4th in CL groups, thats a bit of a dent as others will really need to go really far. but of course I only want 5th to be a CL place if its us on the 5th place, if its Spurs or MU fuck them ... As I heard MU and Chelsea are both in bit of FFP risk if they dont get CL next season. pretty sure Chelsea in the shit anyway given their recent big spending with no CL this season.
