Why can't we win the league

[Woolly Blue]

Not got enough quality/strength in depth

Is right. We can probably get by with 2 or 3 injuries / suspensions to our first choice 11, but after that ...

We can't play away from home

Simple

nice one only the 6 goals scored in 3 games and the 2 wins i just wish we could play away from home, and that isnt even against the teams we would have to play counter attacking football

I shall be cheering for whoever South Africa play and asking their defenders not to go in hard on Pienaar.

yeah but we played a very poor villa side and an average swansea side

last season we took a grand total of one point away from home against top 8 sides

as well as poor draws at norwich, qpr, wigan, stoke, wolves and sunderland

we only won 5 games away from home last season

If this thread was on RAWK we'd be f*cking slaughtering them for it.

It's been six games and United aside, we've not played anyone of note. Maybe Newcastle but that's it. If we're in the top four come Christmas then it's maybe worth a discussion but for now it's daft.

Who said we can't? It's that mental attitude of 'we'll never win the league' that's preventing us from doing so. Whilst I agree it's unlikely, it's not impossible and we ARE second.

So come on, I went to my first match when we held the title, let me take my daughter to her first match as title holders too.

 

[mawders]

teams that win the league are generally capable of winning 8-10 games in a row and don't bottle big occasions. If we win the derby, i will be more hopeful that we might be getting better at not bottling, but we don't have enough depth.

Having said that, right now we are as good as anybody. City are not playing well, Utd can't rely on scholes all season, Arsenal won't do it. Chelsea are my tip for the title....i'll settle for second.

 

[mawders]

and besides, does any team with phil neville ever win anything?

 

[evertonian6]

why cant we win the league? not consist enough, too many silly defensive mistakes cost us, we dont kill teams off, not ruthless enough infront of goal and we lack strength in depth. no team will win the league when phil neville and leon osman are regulars in there midfield. on our day we can beat anybody, consistency is the most important thing. if we take 6 points from our next two games, then i will really believe we can finish in the top 4.

The powers that be wouldn't allow anyone from outside of their "darling clubs" to win it. EFC don't have the dosh to grease palms with.

Fall short but let's dream. What i have seen so far let's dream!

Because Fifa wouldn't ratify the Ofoe deal!
