No. It would be a satisfactory result at best. I too won't slit my wrists if we don't win but I do expect us to win comfortably.
If we really are going to be genuine contenders for European spots at the end of the season, we must win at the likes of Burnley etc. Not that easy I know but a draw should be disappointing?
Two months ago I would've agreed with you, but in the context of both team's current form/results, I think it is more important for us not to lose rather than to win this particular game. BUT I do think we will sneak a win in as tight game.
Our results are bad, but our form is alright. We were on course to take a point on Emirates until we went a player down, and we outplayed United.
I don't expect us to win comfortably, but I expect us to win. Not sure how 'comfortable' the Premier League can be, in all honesty.

Wow, really love a youngster breaking through - as we're lucky to have such a great academy it's like a potential multi-million pound signing! Fair play to Koeman after some people doubted he trusted in the youth, feel a bit bad for Reed though who has looked exciting whenever I've seen him.
Bold from Ronald, and I admire him for that. Happy for the young lad, and our bench is looking much better.
Yeah pretty much this. I'm 90% sure Reed is quite a defensive midfielder. Although we've only seen flashes of him usually out wide.
Well Hesketh "models his game on Spanish midfielder Andres Iniesta" so that's not very defensive minded.
