Who believes?

[HC]

We will do city.

3-2. Henderson to score winner

That's a fair assessment however it was exactly the game like Monday's that proved to much for us last season.

We lost all 3 games away to the other top 4 sides last season.

I think we have the squad to beat the other teams in the league over the course of the season but to be champions you can't have a return of 0/9pts away to the top 4.

If we can beat City on Monday I think the belief of last season will come flowing back and will sent a massive statement to every other team in the league.

In 2013/14, City got 1/9 with away defeats to us and Chelsea, and an away draw to Gunners. That's pretty bad and yet they still won the title.
In 2010/11, Man Utd did the same - lost away to Arsenal and Chelsea, then drew with City away (1/9). Crowned champions with 9 points to spare.
In 2008/09. Again, Man Utd - lost away to Arsenal and Liverpool, then drew with Chelsea away (1/9). Squeaked home with 4 points ahead of Benitez and co.

So it's not just about these big away games. Last season's failure to win - and the previous season's failure to get back into Europe - all point back to the same thing: our defence needs to improve, a lot.

i still think united will finish above us.

I don't.

Not unless we get another few signings before the window closes.

Get you head read Skully, cleary you're drunk or high. Thats an impossibility. They are rubbish much the same as your statement.

Who are the potential few?

Who are the potential few?

A top quality CM, Vidal or Strootman quality.

Another CB and maybe a winger


De Gea

Evans
CB
Rojo

Rafael
Herrera
CM
Shaw

Mata

Rooney
RVP

Think we would be in with a shout for fourth if the we get another quality CM.
