It requires Chelsea and Spurs to cut each others throats next Tuesday in the Capital semi.

Then an early exit from both the CL and FA Cup in order to minimise matches and in turn prevent injuries and maximise fitness. Withdrawals from International duty is a must (a Fergie favourite).

This is the formula that has actually helped win PL’s by Chelsea and Leicester in the past.

Having said that fifth and no Cups looks favourite.

Look at our game against them at OT we had 23 shots and missed at least 4 clear chances. They scored with pretty much nearly every chance they had apart from 1 and Poch looks a genius. The big difference is Spurs are one of the most clinical teams in world football this season while you need to create tons of chances to score against them this season.

I think it’s too late for United now.

I could see today that some of the same frailties are there and it’ll cost you from now until May.

Has anyone got Ole's number?

He needs to know it's all a waste of time, Metro on ja606 just said so

Will be a tough ask. We could be nine points back from Chelsea after the next round of fixtures.

I will be shocked if Spurs have more shots than us. Poch knows we are better than them all over the pitch so he will deploy his OT tactics, park the bus and hope for a set piece goal and then hope to score from any counter attack chance. They will play the same way they did against Man City. Hope to stay in the game after 80 minutes and then try to attack as they don't have the players to take the game against top teams.

Or we’ll just completely play you off the park like we did at Wembley last season in the league.

lol funnily enough your stats at Wembley were similar in our favour in our 0-3 loss. We also had like 3 big chances at Wembley we missed.

Is it right that we've not yet conceded from open play under Ole?

Well two of the teams above united have a weaker 'best XI'.

But that has been true from the off, so these things don't always count for much. Plus one of those weaker teams is currently top.

Good chance now. Seeing as you have goalscorers bk firing.

Rashford
Lukaku
Pogba
Lingard
Martial

And maybe Sanchez will shine now too. Good assist from him Tonight.

Though your next game is A vs Tottenham .

Could be 9 pts behind Chelsea again, who play at home to Newcastle...

Raga always gets his team to play better against us, so that was a good win.

Reading before Tottenham, so a good game to give others a run out to get sharper and impress the boss.

Win, lose or draw against Tottenham, Ole has done a good job. If Jose didn't down tools after not getting what he wanted in the summer and gave the players confidence, we would not be as low as we are right now.

To now have top four as a remote possibility shows what a good job Ole and the coaches have been doing.

We can, whether we will. I don't know.

The final 20 last night under Jose and we draw now win 2-0 imo.

Spurs game will tell us a lot.

Poch is probably going to want CL next season so I can see him throwing this one

You genuinely believe this? So, I’m curious... which of Man U Starting XI would get in to the Liverpool side?

Not a waste of time - just very unlikely.

Truth. We've also been a bit lucky not to concede, as there's been a few let-offs

Our expected goals is one of the lowest since OGS took over.

Our expected goals against is one of the lowest since OGS took over and our expected goals for is really high like a top team.
