Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

Saha describes Utd’s first half performance as ‘disturbing’

 

[wrd]

Imagine if they start to lose faith in ole going into the summer and do the half and half backing they did with Jose with the transfers, delicious.

 

[ardiles]

Well that win was one of the reasons why they stopped pursuing Poch and gave Ole a contract so silver lining.

But the funny thing is that we were much the better team in that match. We pummeled them with lots of shots. DDG was probably the MOTM.

 

[dagraham]

Ole looks a bit broken, doesn’t he

So typical that we played united when they went through the patch of good form, we’d smash them now

We smashed them when we played them. Just couldn’t put the ball in the net.

 

[Timberwolf]

TBF it made sense at the time as they were on a run and they had beaten PSG, since he's become permanent manager it looks like the players have stopped trying and have gone back into default mode.

I still think it was madness. There was literally no reason to confirm the deal until the season was over - Ole was happy as a pig in shit regardless and it would've kept the unsettling "Poch to Utd" story in the papers which might've hurt us in the run in.

Now they've committed themselves to an inexperienced manager. Even if they lose every game in the run in they'll look like prize twats sacking him in the summer so they're stuck with him until they inevitably have a terrible start to next season. By that point it will be extremely difficult to attract the kind of manager they want (if Poch were to ever leave us he sure as hell wouldn't do it mid-season) and they're back to square one.

Why not just wait until the season was over and decide then? Just when I thought Ed Woodward couldn't get more incompetent he made the worst possible decision at precisely the worst moment.

Weirdly we played better in the home match, than we did when we beat them at OT.
Thats football, I guess.

 

[Goldman]

4-0 wow.

With City and Chelsea to play it’s hard to see them catching us.

Just have to worry about Chelsea and Arse I think.

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Thought Utd might do us a favour and beat Chelsea at home next week. Some hope of that if this is their standard

 

[Giovanni]

Brighton, west ham and everton home games will be very difficult. Right to the 94th minute of matchday 38 me thinks.

 

[RichieS]

Well, this is going swimmingly.

 

[Gb160]

Brighton, west ham and everton home games will be very difficult. Right to the 94th minute of matchday 38 me thinks.

I know no game is a gimme, but Brighton haven't scored for about six games.

 

[Giovanni]

I know no game is a gimme, but Brighton haven't scored for about six games.

True, that first goal will be vital. Could get nervy otherwise.

 

[Gb160]

True, that first goal will be vital. Could get nervy otherwise.

The other 2 will be tough, id much rather have had Brighton on the last day personally.

 

[Jamturk]

I know no game is a gimme, but Brighton haven't scored for about six games.

Time for Dr Spurs me see ?

 

[jimmy-jojo]

I know no game is a gimme, but Brighton haven't scored for about six games.

So the probability is they will score against us.

We know how this story goes...

 

[teok]

Hope palace and/or everton can do some thing today.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Everton are great at home but lost to Fulham away last week.

 

[Gb160]

So the probability is they will score against us.

We know how this story goes...

As long as we win I couldn't give a fuck if they score 5 tbh.

 

[Shadydan]

Here we go again lol, you lot did this for the Huddersfield match.

Brighton are shit, we're gonna win.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

If City beat United and United beat Chelsea, 2 wins and 2 draws would be enough for Top 4.
