      Tbf a Boyed up Utd full of confidence suits me when we play them

      I just can’t deal with these defensive master classes

      They'll rip through our defence judging by this.

      Soft pen but United are full of confidence. They need a set back or this could be their league.

      Their squad is stacked with depth largely due to their poor transfer policy.

      That 1 signing of Fernandes has really buoyed that club, and this season that may we be enough

      Would love to see us shoot outside the box more, like utds last 2 shots

      Or fast breaks, hard passes in the box instead of lofted crosses would be nice as well.
      Man Utd are looking very good at the moment, better than our recent performances.

      Dude....cmon. You are giving them way too much credit. Just watching them play, they aren’t anywhere near our quality and they certainly aren’t managed as well as we are.

      Agree, got to make him a number one priority. Rolls Royce of a player. Just don't know how we get round FFP if he's going to cost £100m, maybe sell a few fringe players.

      I imagine £80 million would seal him.

      Would be a future captain for us too.

      Would love him here he's a massive talent and getting better.

      That United and Liverpool can be tied on points given the gulf in class between Klopp and Ole is shocking and annoying.

      Villa are a busted flush, they'll drop away now but so will Utd if they ever suffer any injuries. The match against them is huge and we now have to beat Southampton.

      If you remember, he missed two easier chances and Berkley an absolute sitter as well, could have been 11 that night, we were woeful.

      They're riding their luck at the moment, they've got some good attacking players in Rashford, Cavani, Fernandes and Martial on his day but I noticed in the Wolves and Villa games how easily they get played through in midfield.. We've just gotta concentrate on ourselves, we have to win Monday no question

      Luck, definitely. They are very mediocre outside 2-3 players who have carried them all season.

      I maintain they’ll be in a battle for top 4 when the end of the season is nearing, not the title.

      Bit knee jerk to say they are a busted flush. Villa will finish top 8. Should have got a point tonight and still have a game in hand.

      If they sign a half decent striker in January they will be a strong team.

      Think they will finish top 4 fairly comfortably as Chelsea are in poor form and Jose the dinosaur looks to be found out again.

      But no way should they be challenging us for the title come April.

      Burned out?

      We're not even half way through the season mate.

      He's bang average another Benteke capable of having 1 great game every 10.

      Different season. If they had our injuroes they would be fighting relegation .

      But they have no injures and gets penalties for any old sh*te. That's given them confidence too.

      I think City and Chelsea will overtake them as their lineups are too talented. Lampard is no great coach but neither is Ole. That leaves United fighting with Everton, Spurs and Leicester for the 4th spot.

      Guess it depends on the level of injuries they pick up over the next few weeks and the next time Pogba decides to throw a strop which always seems to affect their team negatively.

      If they can avoid those I can't see them not finishing top 4.

      They managed it last season in far worse form.

      But last year Chelsea hadn’t spent a billion dollars on new players and Ancelotti had just arrived. There’s too much talent at Chelsea not to finish top 4 and Everton are here to stay. Then you add Spurs and Leicester and it’s going to be a dog fight for spots 3-6. I think it’s us and City as the top 2 this year.

      Yea it's hard to know, as you say it will be a dog fight for 3rd and 4th place.

      It will be us and City neck and neck come April similar to the season before last.
