I don´t think it will matter though. We have a nice team, but we probably won´t be competing for the title. City and Liverpool are still ahead of us (technique-wise they are are on another level) and I doubt we are able to keep their pace over the course of 38 games. That being said we will secure a comfortable and good third place, which is not a shame given the quality of our opponents. We have a better chance in the cup competitions.

Looking at their attacking quality we are still short. We don't have a single individual player of the likes of Salah or KDB. The only department where I could say we can compete is in defense. But not sure if that's enough to challenge these guys for the long haul. Having said that, we have done as well as we could have in the opening fixtures. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We have a better chance in the cup competitions. we HAVE to upgrade our wingers we only have ONE pure winger on the entire squad if Pulisic (the one) continues to be injured all the time we needs to bin his ass Ziyech is meh AF and is more of an AMF (and not good enough there either) that is where he excelled at Ajax in the donkey farmer league CHO is not consistent and is more of a wingback now in my mind we HAVE to be looking at Chiesa Oyarzabal a step down Hirving Lozano Link to post Share on other sites
Laylabelle 8,799 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I still think we'll compete but think Liverpool will edge it..Long way to go and all but they don't see to slow down. Saying that their problem is defence cant always outscore the other lot..hopefully Link to post Share on other sites
Mário César 308 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 the good thing is that salah will go to CAN. Maybe we can benefit from that Link to post Share on other sites

It's excruciating to think that those two had been identified by our scouts long before anyone else as the generational talents they are before being shoved out the door by Mourinho. Defense wins championships tho (not necessarily leagues tbh). I would be more confident if we had produced a similarly resilient performance vs City as we did vs Liverpool but I think the team that beat City 3 times last season and won at Anfield is still out there. We just have to be bold and drop Lukaku, defend with the whole team and might nick a point in each of those remaining direct fixtures. We are head and shoulders above the rest including leicester and ManUre with Ole, so we only have ourselves to blame if we fall short in those games. I also think we are 3rd favourites for the title but Liverpool's squad is paper thin and a lengthy injury to only two of their key players Alisson, VVD, Salah, Mane will break them. ManCity still favs for me. Link to post Share on other sites
milka 2,820 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Solskjaer's situation is very similar to Lampard's a year ago . Frank and Ole did a terrific job of improving their teams but as the team gets better, the necessity for a tactically sharper coach increases too. we all remember what Lampard's last matches were like Everton - Chelsea 1:0 Wolves - Chelsea 2:1 Arsenal - Chelsea 3:1 Chelsea- Villa 1:1 Chelsea - City 1:3 Leicester - Chelsea 2:0 * after big spend summer same like United now Edited October 24, 2021 by milka Link to post Share on other sites

Besides City game, we has been very very good. The fact that we "only" has two really tough fixtures that is old trafford and empty had. Besides this games, we will be fine because we already play at anfield, emirates and spurs stadium. let's see what will happen but we're in a very good position 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ManCity still favs for me. I agree about the defense, which is the main reason why I put us in within a shout of challenging. And yes you make a good point about Liverpool's squad strength. Although they would have to be really unlucky to suffer another season with injuries to key players. Keita is now out though, so who knows? I think they can get by Firminho & Jota during Afcon., but we'll see. If we're in a good position come end December I would feel a lot more confident. Link to post Share on other sites
Mário César 308 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 no excuses to lost points against newcastle and burnley and we're very lucky to play at newcastle standium before transfer windows... lets go!! Link to post Share on other sites

Fulham Broadway 15,339 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Ronaldo McDonaldo probably sold a lot of shirts, and has a few goals, but the days of a striker that never tracks back or presses are gone. Last one we had like that was Ossie - one game when we were defending he was sat on the barrier chatting to fans 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites
