The only game Mou lost at OT was to City. Although both teams have improved since then, I won't be surprised if City best us at OT again this season. The outcome of that match is so unpredictable. If City win theyre closer to the title. If we win there's hope for us.

But I agree one thing Mou needs to work on is our away record. We haven't been strong away from home since SAF left. It's like the players become intimidated and switch off. Other top 5 teams arguably have a better away record than we do.

I agree. But my argument united hardly lose at home and most likely win. The guy want to suggest that playing at home does not matter. TBH it matters for mourinho.

wait did city not beat us at the bridge,baba win na win,madrid spank barcelona at their futress earlier this season

Mourinho has lost just one game at Old trafford in close to 2 years now, Chelsea have lost two already at home this season including a team like Burnley at home, so it's more of a habit for Chelsea to lose at home than United. So it will be easier for City to beat chelsae at home than United. Chelsea seem to have a better record than united away from home.

Just 3 questions;
1. Are you impressed by our performance bar the first few games of the season?
2. Is our play reflective of the quality in our ranks?
3. Who is to be blamed

1. I am not impressed, but I find succor in the fact that there is a massive Improvement from, the other years preceding fergie's retirement.

2. No, but results this season is reflective of our quality, our best player was out for 2 months, did you consider That?.

3. Nobody, because 6th to 2nd, and winning your champions league group, one year after participating in the Europa league does not call for any blame.

atheist5:
okay lets wait first.league football is like a circle,you are not better than anybody until you have done the full circle thay have done

Yeah, but I didnt see you giving the same sermon to those that have handed the title to city since September.

codedguy1:
please, what exactly do you mean by Wenger played better football than fergie?

I mean Wenger played more entertaining football than fergie

atheist5:
you still have arsenal and city to play,chelsea have played the top 6,lets wait till then

3 of those games were at the bridge. By the time we conclude our games it will just be 2 games at Old trafford.

To your first question, it means nothing at this stage that's why you will not see any sane man banking on Valencia to win LA liga or Spurs to trash Madrid in the knockout stages of the league.

To your second question, they have played the better football and it's only a matter of time before it's reflected on the epl table, we still have Arsenal and City to play...I mentioned them to highlight the impact of Poch, Conte and Klopp on their play...

They play better football? United have scored 28 goals better than all the teams you mentioned my brother. Nothing will reflect on the table, that was what the nay sayers said when the season started that united has played "no one" but up until now they are still ahead, what make you think it will definitely change st some point? Ofcourse you might term the 1-1 result Chelsea got at Liverpool to be 'a better ' football than the goalless draw united got, but both got 1 point.
Yes we still have arsenal and city, but 3 points from those games we are still ahead of all those teams.

Nobody expect Valencia to finish above madrid, or spurs to knock them out, same way no one expect Watford to finish above arsenal. The gulf in class and statue between Madird and Valencia is not same with Chelsea and united. United is a bigger team than Chelsea so being ahead of them, though they may go down at some point, should not be sneered at. playing "better football" as you term it does not put points on the table, result does. Wenger played better football than fergie but fergie won 10 EPLs 2 champions league.

atheist5:

3 at home, 2 away. By the time we have completed our top 6 games it will be 3 away 2 home. Mind you, if we can get 3 points out of the 2 remaining too 6 games, we will still be ahead of you. So you see, a team on top of you is on top of you simple.

patrickmuf:
Valencia is above Madrid in Spain, Inter and Napoli are above Juve in Italy but does it in anyway mean they are better? It's this lines you people come up with that's masking our very disappointing displays.

1.What does being above someone in the table mean?
2. On what ground do you think Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool are better than united this season?

Chelsea, spurs and Liverpool are better than United, but united is above them in the table and have outscored them all conceding less. Good logic.

What actually made me love Sir Alex was his ability to use average players

His last title win he did with basically average players. But the core of his team after the retirement of cantona in 1997 is not average, infact its one of the best in English football history.
Schemeichel, Gary Neviĺle, Dennis Irwin, Jaap Stam Johnsen, Roy Keane, Paul scholes, Giggs and Beckham, Cole and Yorke. And can call upon names like Nicky butt, Sheringham, Solskjear and Jasper Blonqvist from the bench.
From that first eleven only Norwegian Ronny Jonhsen is not among the best in the premiership history in their positions. Imagine the midfield quatet of Beckham, Giggs, Scholes and Keane that is an absolute world Class midfield.
The above solid team later transformed only by replacing Irwin, Stam, Johnsen, and peter with Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand and VDS respectively. The forward line had the 2 devils Rooney and Ronaldo, MC also came in for Keane while scholes and Giggs remained.

From 2002-2006 when his replacements were not complete, he suffered severely with players like Roy Carroll, Bellion, djemba djemba, kleberson, Heinze, oshea, Miller, Silvestre and Brown. The only good players then were RVN, scholes, Giggs and Rio. Keane was already ageing, Ole was mostly injured while Ronaldo hasn't come off age.
With the arrival of Rooney, Evra, VDS, Vidic and MC coupled with the emergence of Ronaldo, the result was 3 UCL finals in 4 years and 3 consecutive EPL titles.
The team that won the 2013 as well as 2011 were the core of that 2008 champions league winning team. There were average players though, but the core is a verrrrry verrrrryyyy experienced contingents in terms of title know how. Ferdinand Vidic ròoney, MC, Evra , Giggs and scholes were still around coupled with the purchase of RVP.
Ferguson performed wonders during his reign with little resources but he really had good players at times.
When he had real passengers he did not move mountains.

Oasis007:


Same way Sir Alex saw Pogba in training, yet couldn't give him a chance, but rather recalled Scholes from Retirement.

But truth be told, Paulo justified his recall, he really surprised me with excellent performances even by his high standard. but then we lost 89m worth of talent. No one knows tomorrow

Leyqute:
He's also the one who let Pogba go. But he did develop some fantastic players (Ororo, Giggs, Scholes).

Sir Alex na baba na. Class of 92, enough said.

Oasis007:


Same way Sir Alex saw Pogba in training, yet couldn't give him a chance, but rather recalled Scholes from Retirement.

And listened to Carlos quieroz to sign Bebe 7m pounds then a big money without seeing him play. Funny moments.

Leyqute:
Mourinho also saw KdB, Lukaku and Salah in training but didn't deem them good enough. Where are these players today?

Same way Alex Ferguson saw Diego Forlan in training and did not deem him gòod enough to start. LOL

It has everything to do with religion. God work with kings and prophets(who are political) thought the bible story time

LasGidiOwner:
Atiku will trash Bubu in the north. With the VP from the SE(block votes), it will be a walk in the park as the SS(block votes) and NC(block votes) will vote massively for Atiku presidency than Buhari presidency. SW will be divided alongside PDP/APC/AD thereby making it impossible for APC to win handsomely in the region.

At the end Atiku will score the highest votes across Nigeria to send the incompetent Buhari back to Daura.

Hahahahaha. That was exactly how GEJ win on social media

raumdeuter:
That's why I said man utd never qualify

You are correct, but the probability of not even topping the group should be about 1/100000.

raumdeuter:
Man utd haven't qualified, there is a slight chance they won't qualify very narrow but still a chance

They need to lose 6-0 to CSKA Moscow irrespective of Basles rwesult not to qualify. Mind you the number of goals Basel score against Benfica is not important in as much as they win.

Imagine expecting Lukaku to score when the team isn't leading 3-0 already

Yeah like he scored versus . Southampton, West ham, Csk Moscow, Basel, Stoke city and Swansea .
