Today's Football 2017-18 Season

[tommytowne]

Fully can't believe how bad Pogba and Sanchez have been.

That should apply to the whole of the United team. They are nowt but a shadow of their former selves the team themselves and Mourinho in particular.

 

[Old Blue 2]

A couple of abservations:
Pogba has been absolutely gash tonight;
We could do a lot worse than get after van Aanholt to solve our left back crisis. Every time I've seen him he's put in a good shift, and is fast.

 

[Stutheblue]

Worrying this, if palace win then there 4 points behind us, Brighton have just beat arsenal and will be up on confidence, we need Man U to help us keep that gap here

It'll be a 6 point gap by the end of this game I reckon. Can't see Man Utd winning here. Draw at best. If so, Palace will be 6 points behind us. If Palace win, Southampton are 6 points behind us.
Given our goal difference is shocking too, and its worrying. We're one defeat away, with a bottom 3 team winning (WBA aside) on the same weekend, from being in big trouble. City and RS at home in next few weeks too. A couple of big performances needed out of the next 4 games (preferrably against Brighton and Stoke). But, are we capable?

Pogba has no positional discipline at all. Just strolls around the pitch leaving gaps everywhere, but don't worry his hair is boss and he's got a mean dab. It's no wonder Mourinho see's his arse with him all the time.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Lukaku has gone back to being a human trampoline.

 

[Blues Harp]

Yes but look at the state of us, we need all the help we can get to make sure where not in the near the bottom 3 before we play the RS and city

Ok but its in our own hands ..you think we are not going to get 6 points from our last nine matches? Pass the 'kin razor blades then lollollol

19 times sanchez lost the ball in 45 mins

I think Jose has something to do with that abit,lukaku was miles better for us which doesn't make much sense considering Utd's team has much much more quality.

Mourinho certainly has everything to do with it. He's not getting enough out of Pogba and Sanchez and the team don't seem to have a plan here.

In a word?

No.

We need to win on Saturday or we are knee deep in trouble.

 

[YoboCopter]

Theres only one team who might get close to city anytime soon and it scares me to say it

Amazing stat.

No...our bunch of losers will relegate us

Mate I know they have been great in attack recently but they are still suspect at the back. Think you might be overestimating Swansea a fair bit.

Thank god for Man City i say.

As has been said already by several people....do not be mislead by the nine fixtures scenario.

Two are against City and the RS.

Four are away games.

I am thinking very few points, if any, from those six games.

By any yardstick from this season, we have effectively three games to stay out of the mire.

And heaven help us if we do not win the first of these on Saturday
