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.

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.

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

so after 2years with Mourinho and the amount we have spent we still have dead weights in the team.

I am assuming when you say DEADWEIGHTS that would be at least half of the team.

who in your opinion is responsible for this?
you just can't offload all deadweights at once,its gradually,if you consider all d signings mou has made sofar in d club,they've been quite good mayb lindelof,but yesterday he showed us something to hope for,d board should also try nd get mou dvtargets he needs,I'm sure he's still not happy about d perisic saga,y do Yu think he's flirting with psg,he's seeing his collegue at city getting all d players he wants while he isn't afforded same at united...d board should also try nd get him everything he wants

Let's deal with Watford 1st. Jose shouldn't try only a 2 man midfield of Matic and Pogba else...

Mata and Miki for now need other games bar epl to boost their confidence.

That we are outscoring isn't a pointer to our dominance or collective strength, most of our play is reliant on moments of individual brilliance and when Martial/Rashford/Pogba have a bad game or are tightly marked, we suffer...
Talking about personnel, I think we have got a far superior team to Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool and we are on par with Chelsea so it's definitely not the personnel...Off the ball movement has nothing to do with personnel, it has everything to do with training and the methods emplyed by the coach, yesterday, we were poor defensively, we couldn't control the game and we didn't create enough chances and to be honest, it's not the first time we've been subpar this season...
you are saying we should ignore d goals we scored,but last season d einsteins of
football and pundits were just criticizing us for scoring d same number of goals as Bournemouth but no one remembered how we dominated opponents last season..

you said our goals comes from moment of brilliance,either way you want to look at it,that's how goals come either a magnificient pass from a player or good moments from two key men..even look at city is as much as they play scintillating football,most of their goals still come from a kdb special or sane beating players so I don't get your point of us relying on pogba nd co cos that's y they are d big players in the team,its their moment of brilliance that seperates them from d rest...

about personnel o dont think we have better players than spurs honestly,only pogba and degea would actually start in that spurs team sincerely....

right now d only team better than us in England in mancity,we are 2nd on d log for Christ's sake one would think we are 7th from d way peeps talk here

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.

The reason people are complaining is because these underwhelming performances raise red flags all over.

We were joint top with City before but now we are 8 points adrift (if City win today).

If we continue with these tardy displays we will be 10+ points behind by January and it will be no surprise.

Let's justhope this is only a rough patch and that we'll improve before it is too late.

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.

all this talks about us at one point in time being on par with city is actually annoying me because you also neglected d fact that our best pogba player was out...that's just to show you d quality of our team..

did you remember when we were doninating last season but d wins were not coming?? let's just try to b positive in supporting this club to b honest,on this forum d criticism mou faces is unfair...there is absolutely no matchday that he isn't blamed here regardless of d result...I look at d players in our squad,of a truth mou is even trying with those dead men

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.

We can win playing well, yesterdays performance as with many others was drab irrespective of the fact that we won and that's what we are on about, we won't always have lady luck smile our way...

Talking about personnel, this is my combined Spurs-United 11;
De-Gea- Valencia - Bailley - Alderweireld - Rose - Matic - Pogba - Eriksen - Martial - Kane - Lukaku/Rashford...

If you are annoyed sip some tea or smash your phone against the wall but that's the gospel truth. If it was Chelsea or Tottenham at the top of the table I'd still say the same thing.

So because we dominated last season and kept drawing matches, we should start playing horribly to win matches? Is that the solution?

On paper we have one of the best squad in the league, we just aren't making enough use of these players. And who is to blame for this, Ed Woodward?

And there have been matchdays in which we do enjoy the performance and praised the players, Mou included.
