If I thought I’d underestimated them I’d have said so. I repeat I don’t think they’ve won any games that I wouldn’t have expected them too. If they don’t fall away when the truly hard games come fair enough, but at the moment them being where they are is a reflection on us and city more than anything. I think we should have beaten them, and at least seven times out of ten we would have done.
They’ve beaten Ipswich, United, Wolves, Palace and Southampton away from home. I really don’t know what there is to add other than that
Yep that’s himWasn’t he the one who left us for Chelsea because he thought he’d get first team football there sooner? It so see it went well for him
Is he? Not saying he’s not but can’t really say because don’t really watch post match interviews
I think he has one of those miserable faces, a bit like basset hounds look sad (although in my experience they are the most contented and laid back breed of dogs you could meet)
Well obviously, I just wonder why you haven’t considered that.
Or maybe you have and rejected the notion.
I’m not disputing they’ve had a lot of games they “should” win, but pretty much all sides drop points in those sorts of games here and there. They just haven’t. Yet. They might start to, but I keep thinking that and they just keep winning. Which is starting to make me think I may have misjudged them and we should take them more seriously as contenders.
But I am also on board with the “let’s see where we are at the turn of the year” thesis.
I’ve watched a lot of their games this season and I think in a lot of them, they’ve been lucky.
They haven’t exactly been pummelling other teams, in their last five wins they’ve only won once by a margin of more than one goal. They’ve relied on the award of a penalty for three of those games.
The other thing i will concede that has surprised me is that they’ve only conceded 8 goals, and kept six clean sheets. That surprise is mainly because they aren’t actually that good defensively….they were all over the place against us.
Could it be that this a Leicester City type season where they make the most of all the other teams shooting themselves in the foot? Possibly
Anyway 1-1 full time
Amorim learning that you can’t polish a turd
one game in...
meanwhile apparently 12 games isn't enough to say Liverpool are genuine title contenders
It’s been more than one game that has showcased that United have a great many average players, and no matter how innovative a coach is or isn’t….Gold doesn’t come from base metal, and that if Amorim is to succeed there he will need to overhaul the team.
And no 12 games isn’t enough when you look at the games they have been played. But if they get through the December minefield and still have their lead mainly intact then yeah I expect we can call them contenders then, and of course it’s possible….many of us were waiting for the other shoe to drop with Leicester City and it didn’t happen.
And should they win the league that should spell the end for Arteta, losing to Man City is one thing….losing to an inferior Liverpool team which is relying heavily on ageing stars like Salah and Van Dijk is another thing
I still am, frankly.
You used to be everything to me
Now you're tired of fighting
