I don't think City and Liverpool will emulate their 100 plus points haul. Those were freak seasons helped and abated by abysmal competition from the rest, I expect more competition this season
There is already a defensive fragility about Liverpool, complacency even, City the same.

Maybe City aren't quite the same this season, who knows.

Let's hope the season is more open 52, it's been akin to the Scottish league last two seasons in terms of lack of proper competition.
Yet you think we should be competing for a top 2 finish? The reason they’ve been so far ahead is because they are so much stronger than the rest, us included.
Peps plan B going well 😂😂😂

They've been consistent, they didn't inexplicably lose against lesser sides. Fix those shockers and you have a decent side.
Our mini record against the top 4 is unparalleled yet you look at the results against the Burnleys, Palace etc and it's embarrassing. That is the difference, consistency, converting the ridiculous accumulation of draws to victories.
Get those 4 new additions, turn into flat track bullies and we are there!

4-1 😂😂😂
LAC
You forget to mention that our squad is very light and weak and will struggle to compete at a high level for long with CL also to contend with.
That's why we need the 4 additions
Pep the genius is losing 5-2 at home to Leicester, same Leicester we pipped to 3rd last season.
Just saying.
And we lost to Palace 3-1 last week. With next to no pre season and restrictions from covid we will see unexpected results.
So expect a more open season, even Liverpool will be more fragile.
Arsenal will beat Liverpool tomorrow
Not necessarily, Liverpool and will likely drop points but they still have the strongest teams and best managers and will compete for the top 2 spots.
But covid restrictions and condensed season means we are in uncharted territory, a lot more surprises will be sprung
Best yes, let me introduce you to complacency!
Ole is a nice guy and did well to get 3rd, but I do fear that if we don't start making our financial advantages count soon, we could face a very long time outside the title race.
Whatever side of the fence you are on re Oles signings so far, it cannot be argued that they are good enough to turn us into title winners within a season or 2., which should be the aim for a club the size of United.
Whatever way you cut it, we need to be better at identifying quality players, better at coaching them to their full potential and better at getting the best out of them on the pitch. We have neither the time, and more importantly, the money to continue as we have been.
