You better delete that or Macca is coming after you!
We took a massive hit with those results against the dross. It means we have to make it up against far better teams. However there is hope. Even though I believe those results may cost us the title (to City) on the other hand we are getting most of our top players back so can expect an improvement in performance ahead of our defence with Thiago, Keita and soon Jota giving us far more options when it's not going to plan (and with Thiago starting, when it is going to plan) and we'll be able to continue rotating and resting players.
Of course our whole season pretty much rests on Fabs staying uninjured because he has been bloody amazing.
Every other club have strange results in this weird season though, its not only us.
It will continue to be like that seeing as you play twice a week for almost the rest of the season.
Who knows if we will win the league again, but you cant do much else than enjoy the ride.

Keita? Hahahaha
And Fabinho is definitely getting injured now.

See it turns out Sam has been fired countless times for a reason, hes not a good manager. Hes not some sort of tactical genius, hes just a defensive clogger. The only thing he proved in the game against us is that we look tired and out of ideas.
People blamed it on parking the bus etc but Newcastle didnt park the bus and we looked ponderous against them too. Weve had games this season where its clicked and weve torn into teams, but equally weve had more than a few games where we just look jaded, our decision making is poor and too many players under perform.
Leicester, a team we thumped 4-0, is leading Newcastle, a team we thumped 0-0, 1-0 at St James
I have no idea what to make of this but I'm sure Jose Mourinho would have an opinion
But our problem is in defence, isn’t it? Players such as Phillips and Williams for example.
Is it? A lack of variety in the attack seems to be whats killed us against newcastle and west brom
Spot on.
Maybe I should’ve inserted an emoji?
Is Chelsea's new keeper shit as well?
He seemed to start off quite well when they bought him but has looked shit in recent weeks.
In fact the all are shit.
0-3
Yep
They do look refreshed.
That's what I don't understand about us, we had 8 days before WBA and another 4 after that before the Newcastle game yet we looked more tired than before then
Makes tmw a very important game ... manc teams are gaining steam big time
Yes, very important.
Thing is though, we've pretty much comfortably handled the games you would expect to be tougher (Wolves, Leicester, Spuds), while fluffing up the 'bankers' (Everton, Fulham, Brighton, WBA, Newcastle), so I'm quietly confident about tmrw personally.
