Trevor012: Competing with Man Utd for the league used to be a pipe dream but here we are. Besides, winning the league does not take you out of top 4. Put City and Liverpool on a winning streak and kiss top 4 goodbye but put them in bad form and we might be dreaming of winning the league. 2 Likes |

Karleb:You are telling me City pose a threat to our top 4 ambitions than Tottenham? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Trevor012(m): 8:59pm On Sep 05, 2022 |
Karleb:Baba stop living in fools paradise. Man city are already guaranteed to finish top 4 going by their average point accumulated over the last 5 seasons. Teams we can realistically finish above to get top 4 are Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal. I need all of those 3 teams to keep dropping points. 5 Likes |

Trevor012: The weaker ones should get the points because they are easier to chase. Last time we were second, Liverpool were struggling. Last year, Liverpool and City were clear atop the table which made it harder. With what you are suggesting, Utd will end up competing with Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and maybe Brighton for that top 4 place by season's end. 1 Like |

Everyone's looking like they could falter this season including City. I know it's a lot to ask, but just imagine a world we did even a bit better than 2 years ago. We could be involved in a title challenge Watched some of City games and for some reason, they lack the control they had in the past. And forget about Liverpool, have you seen Salah and Arnold recently? With all the injuries again? They're not doing shiit. So in a situation that City falters, we should definitely be in the running. Abi make we chicken out and leave it to Spurs and Chelsea? 2 Likes |

ChristineC: Expert already agreed with me. You have a duty to protect both near and far post. You can’t cover near post with your body and then dive near post as well. How do you protect far post? And you can’t go and position your body to cover far post and dive near post. That would be foolish as your dive won’t make it there on time. With the way Antony had positioned his foot he was most likely to go far post so the logical thing was for the goalie to stand near post and use his body positioning and legs to shield the near but be prepared to use his hands and dive to cover far post. Ramsdale did the first part (covering near post with his body positioning ) right. Then he dived near post again leaving the centre and far post to Holy Michael and the hosts of heaven (awon ogun orun). 3 Likes |

ChristineC: The near post was already covered and with Antony's body shape any ball to that side would be an easy save. A left footed RW will target far post 8/10 in that situation.

ChristoBam: City are lucky to have Haalad so far. The squad is seriously missing Sterling and Jesus. Liverpool bad form is making the whole thing very interesting. But then, it's too early to say. Let's see how it would be in 20 games. As long as our team don't become complacent, top 4 is guaranteed at least. 1 Like |

The passing accuracy for Arsenal and Manchester United was 83% and 78% respectively and only because Arsenal were just passing it around without much incision for a decent part of that. That's why they had half the shots on target, compared to United. Arsenal looked better because United wanted the high line so they could exploit it. We've all seen this team struggle to break compact teams down so they obviously weren't going to go Man City all of a sudden since they can't. At 1:1, the momentum was with Arsenal but United didn't go from possession to counter attack from there. Thus, hitting on the break was always the idea and they executed it perfectly. Two passes cut entire assnal team apart and their fans is talking about domination . Arsenal passed it around more. United defended better. United attacked better. The Arsenal goal was due to a mistake by United. Even the goal ruled out was against the run of play and Arsenal barely had the ball then. martinelli header is the only threating save de gea made So how were they better? if domination is all about possession then van gal could've still be man utd coach because utd always have the ball. 11 Likes 1 Share |

We need to pick maximum points from the smaller teams this season to be guaranteed top 4. I'm looking forward to our next match. We need the 3 points and as many goals as possible 2 Likes |

nelxxy:I wouldn't say you guys tactics didn't work o, but please don't compare the passes and pressure we made to that of Van gaal. Arsenal created chances, we missed chances and in most situation our attackers were attempting and guilty of wanting to walk the ball into the net instead of taking a shot any time chances was created. Someone who didn't watch the match and read your analysis will think we were just doing aimless passing and possession in the midfield and defence not knowing that it was a combination of your defenders/defence having a great game and our attackers misfiring with their decision. You'd be lying to yourself if you think that even at one goal up, you weren't at the edge of your seat. 1 Like |

The greatest undoing of man city will be haaland. With haaland, it means pep will change the style of play. They will have to hurriedly put the ball on the box which is a good thing. But if haaland get injured, with Jesus and sterling sold, they will really struggled up front. And the defense of city is shitty. They concede goal too much. Though it is still early. Man city will struggle if they will retain the premiership. They shouldn't have let both Jesus and sterling leave like that. Pep is too desperate to win champion league |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Jodera: 9:02am On Sep 06, 2022 |
delkuf:I guess you've forgotten Alvarez is their backup striker and he's as deadly too. Moreover, you can't even use lack of striker to point to Pep struggle. This is a coach that won the league without any recognised striker last season with both Sterling and Jesus either coming from the bench or seeing cameo roles 5 Likes |

Jodera: Grealish (who was non-existent last season), Alvarez, and Haaland are more then enough to replace Jesus and Sterling. They also have youth players that anywhere else their fans would by hyping to the heavens. Lavia for instance walked straight from Man City youth team to being a multimillion dollar starter at Southampton. And though he was a boss he wasn’t definitely the best in his group. |

eph12: We should be able to breakthrough low block teams with the creative wingers have now. And with our pacy defenders, they should also be able to foil any counter attack. It seems it was Dalot that chased Gabriel for that their canceled goal. He should work on his speed sha |

Expert17:I mean, it's obvious. For every time the league gets stronger is another league trophy for Pep. Some people are thinking without Halaand 10goals in 6 games, Man city will become nothing forgetting that Pep is a master and doesn't depend on any individuality to win the league 1 Like |

Sterling nko? I think it was only Dec time the guy had a run of games, after that e don finish We've not even talked about that Palmer guy that Pep haven't really unleashed. I pity people wey just dey blinded by only Halaand output. |
