Hugh Jass Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 You’d think they’d have made the draw podium bigger for Crouch. He’s going to do his back in bending down like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could lose to both city and Liverpool and still win the title if they perform better against the average/poor teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't beat the big teams, got an awful defence, play terrible football, relying on deflected goals and penalties to win matches. They have all the big teams away in 2nd half of season and have to balance that with Europa League. Every time it comes to the crunch they get beat. They were high fiving themselves for being top of their Champions League group half way through, how did that work out for them?

DareToDibble Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Also. It pains me to say it but United are definitely contenders. I don’t think they’ll win it but they’re certainly not the team of last season that would constantly drop points to the lower teams. That said, an injury to Bruno Fernandes and all that would likely go out the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea, Arsenal, drawn against Liverpool when we really should have beat them, drawn against you lot when we really should have beaten you (we have since played you off the park in another big game where you crumbled). We got beat against Leicester after playing them off the pitch with no fit centre backs or forwards, we got Mourihnoed off Spurs in another game we should have won. We have lost 2 games in all co.ps this season and come the end of it you will be well below us. Enjoy your few days at the top. Its funny to see you morphing into Southampton.

How many of the current squad would get in their first team? They had Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo, with Ferdinand and Vidic centre half.

They also won a lot of titles with the likes of O'Shea, Fletcher, Brown playing 2/3 of the season. In the 20-odd years of near dominance there were only about 4 years of having 15 top quality players in the squad. Man u were the masters of the fluky ugly wins. There were a few years of scintillating football amidst that, but it was rare. Even Mourinho with his 1-0, 2-0, 1-0, 1-1 cycle had chelski playing better football in 04/05.
