Next 6 league games

Chelsea (H)
Palace (A)
Liverpool (H)
W Ham (A)
Swansea (H)
City (A)

I will be relaxed if United is still 2nd after the City game.
The table looks interesting as i type.

United 56pts
Liverpool 54pts
Chelsea 53pts(if they win @ FT)
Spurs 52pts.

The way things stand, if Man Utd drop any more points, City could become champs on the day of the Manchester derby. Meaning that Man Utd will have to form a guard of honour for the City players...

That would not surprise me chap, i already accepted that fate around December when i noticed that things are not too well below is what i wrote then.

I don't know why they have stopped playing well or when they will start again.

Maybe we can go to the semis in CL but that's just a wish :biggrin:
Hopefully the Chelsea's and Liverpool of this world keep suffering surprise losses :thumbs:

I still remember when Ferguson had United players form a guard of honour for Chelsea in Mourinho's first stint in 2005, so humiliating it was they took their title back from Chelsea.

This lot of United players might need that kind of humiliation so that they fight back hard next season and stop Pep from running riot.

It was SAF that started the guard of honour tradition. I still remember Gary Neville slow clapping the Chelsea players and having the expression of a little kid sent to bed without his dinner. SAF forced the Man Utd players to form the guard of honour in order to humiliate them enough to rile them into taking the title back from Chelsea. They did, and won the EPL three times in 3 successive seasons, and won the CL, and League Cup too.

It is, actually, re-Umtiti.

The Barcelona philosophy places a much, much higher demand on the CD than United's.

At Barca, the CD doesn't just have to stop an attack, he has to recover the ball technically, without loss of possession, in order to function as the foundation of the attacking game and of ball possession.

Few EPL defenders have the ability to do that.

Doesn't necessarily make them bad defenders; just of a lower technical level...

The rumours of Mourinho vs Pogba bust up continue to gather pace ever since that game vs Spurs when they could be seen arguing on the pitch.

Is Mourinho correct that some of these guys are too casual, allegedly Pogba is not happy being played out of position

These lot do not know what honor and humiliation means....it is all about money these days. These ones would even ask for autographs from City players and exchange jerseys.

Tuanzebe played his first 90 minutes on loan at Villa last weekend. Tuanzebe was the MOM even though Villa lost. He had the most tackles (9), won the most headers, and had the most touches (86) of any Villa player on the pitch.
