This is football isn’t it? One minute we are world beaters the next relegation fodder. IMO we are still title challengers . We are only 3 matches in and only 5 points from City. Many key players are injured and will soon be coming back . Get the 9 points from the next 3 matches (which shouldn’t be a mountain to climb) and people would have forgotten this blip. All this despondency is rather pathetic. If we are the red mancs then we should be worried.
By that logic, united are only 4 points from City. Your optimism is misguided. Wake the **** up: we're in trouble
The biggest concern I have isn't the defending, midfield or goals; it's the very obvious lack of passion and effort. Against United, we didn't fight all game. Against Palace, we didn't show any passion until we were 10men. We were **** against Fulham. We were only really fired up against City. It's irrelevant whether or not we have injuries or invest in the midfield or not unless the players start running through brick walls again because right now, they cannot be arsed to put in a shift.
Our performance in the charity shield was what I expect and makes us great. We've not even shown a glimpse of that effort since
To be fair we started that with our strongest line up (maybe bar Nunez/Jota for Bobby). Since then haven’t been able to field anywhere close to a consistent team. We’ve had 3 diff starting centre back partnerships in the 3 games so far. No huge surprise the consistency isn’t there atm.
Whereas that is true, do we look like we are good enough to close in on City this year? Three bad performances in a row. Even if we fluked a win in those games it would still have been three bad performances. Now, we will turn things around, history suggests that we will, but we're not good enough this year for the title. We're looking at a top four battle. And next year with the right signings we're looking at a title fight again.
Look at the picture as a whole ,many injuries,players who just aren't up to standard,players past their best and the lack lustre performances of the likes of TAA means........, please log in to view this image
So the big question is: How long have we got until the perennial "triangle joke" gets recycled at our expense? Gotta win the next game.
FFS Keita injury set back on Sunday awaiting to find out the seriousness of injury. FFS Somebody get rid of this useless expensive professional sicknote. Naby Lad ,Knob off!
I mean the guy's unhappy here. Let's put everyone out of their misery, let him go and bring in a replacement. It won't happen but it should
I'm not worried about us. Yeah, we're not playing well but it's not the first time we've had a blip, we'll overcome it and climb back up the table. I'm finding the Man Utd are back agents rather funny though #onegame
