I guess that's why the GD is 12
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Our goal difference isn't great but we don't look in any danger of conceding 3 and 4 goals to the likes of Swansea and Bournemouth.
But we're four points ahead and have a far better GD so what does that matter. If it was happening every week sure but it's not. It's happening every 6 weeks top. Not even that.
Utd fixture list is getting bigger and biiger (60+games this season I reckon) and seeing as Carrick and Ibra are arguably the most important players at Utd atm that would be my concern as a Utd fan.
Have Utd won a league game where Ibra didn't score? I don't know but it's quite the burden on him.
Ultimately LFC haven't lost a game when Coutinho, Mane and Matip are playing together and they are all back soon enough. I think LFC will kick on after Jan myself but we will see.
I don't think it would be any surprise to see us beat Chelsea and lose to Hull tbh.
We beat Boro recently with Martial and Pogba scoring. Beat Spurs with Micky scoring. We thrashed Leicester and he didn't score. He's important but we have players who can score around him. They just need to step up.
Your important three players are a great help to your side. But your next few fixtures imo will see you drop out of the top four. Whether that will be for a few weeks or months remains to be seen.
Robert if I check will I see you saying this should already have happened?

I'm fairly certain all I've said was that we would be one point from the top four by NYE which was the case.
But you may bookmark this - by the time your game with Spurs has finished you will be out of the top 4
Okay! Bookmarked.
Trouble is robb you're wrong that often that i doubt you care if I bookmark it anyway.
Even if we are looking at our last 9 games if we are within 4/5 points I'd be confident of making the top four.
I'm about 50/50 on my predictions. Sadly I'm remembered for the bad ones.

Nah Robb, not 50/50.
I'd say more like 48/50. You've got at least two right
I find it amazing a garbage team like Arsenal are 2nd while we are 6th. Arsenal are proof if you are efficient at both ends you can do great in the league. We probably a few points clear of Chelsea with Arsenal efficiency at both ends of the pitch.
Liverpool and Man City actually allowed the fewest shots against them in the premierleague but Chelsea and Tottenham allowed fewer shots on target.
And all three are above Utd.
Crazy town.
Being a striker at Man Utd must be easy. Get 10 chances per game like Zlatan score 1 goal and you are carrying the team
Seems that way. Carried all the way to 6th.

Its so strange how regular it is though. Its harder to miss then score chances yet we keep missing. Mourinho should just focus on getting rid of half the squad and start again as even blind players would have better chance of scoring in this team if they just stood in the box.

=========================
Who told you this?
Zlatan is probably statistically the worst striker we ever had to score so many goals and the worst part is the rest of our squad are similar at finishing.
I think only way we will finish in top 4 is by a miracle. The weird thing is we probably better off playing 10x worse and winning.
I remember Mark Bobbins so no.
This Man Utd side are the best side we had since probably 07/08 in terms of domination. I don't get how professional players get paid so much money but can't put a ball in to the net of a big goal. See the Snooker yesterday and the centuries and you have to be extremely accurate while footballers can't shoot into open goals from 6yd out or in Ibrahimovic case 3 times one on one and he passes it to a Stoke City player
