    Dont get the negativity - important point against Wolves puts us on 35.

    Another win might be enough, but only need another 5 points for safety.

    And there it is. I suppose it was a matter of time before we see such a report. Woodward and the club have BSd everyone, every which way for over a year on this matter. Only for things to be business as usual in the end.
    It will not surprise me if the club were to hire Poch in the summer, if Ole fails to make top 4 or win the EL, as a measure to try and bring the fans onside.This weekend was not the right time for any type of protest against the hierarchy, but I hope it resumes and kicks into gear after the break. Enough.

    Coming from MUTV, it will surely be very soft but probably still worth checking out to see what bull will be coming from Woodward.

    Derby (and a reunion with Rooney) are on deck for United in the next round of the FA Cup. Don't expect this to necessarily be a walk in the park. Especially consider it's at Pride Park.

    You know it’s bad when your 3rd string Goalkeeper is out for a few months because of surgery.

    Interesting interview with Fred;

    https://metro.co.uk/2020/02/08/fred...teds-dressing-room-12203814/?ito=newsnow-feed

    ‘We also need to improve as a group, our group lacks the ‘sticking together mentality’, we have lots of problems.’

    ‘We need to be on the same page and today some players have different objectives, there are players that just want to solve problems alone and this is wrong.’

    Wonder who he is referring to?

    Other outlets are reporting of his interest to return to the Prem (which already sounded like a 'come and get me' plea to United).
    Don't doubt that the bosses back Ole but with Poch available and wanting the job, it's hard to see them sticking with him should we fail to reach CL.

    Castles taking it a bit further, indicating that talks have happened on some level. Definitely reinforcing the point of view that at the very least, Woodward may be putting some kind of contingency plan in place.

    Provided it holds, City's CL/Euro ban is a great opportunity for United in term of their chances to make it to the CL next season. But we're still talking about 6 teams duking it out for 2 spots: Chelsea, Sheffield Utd, Tottenham, Everton, Wolves and us.
    Teams currently separated by just 6pts. Not going to be easy and we really need to put a run together, starting with Monday's game vs Chelsea.

    Our slate until the end of March:
    -2/20 Club Brugge (a) EL
    -2/23 Watford (h) PL
    -2/27 Club Brugge (h) PL
    -3/1 Everton (a) PL
    -3/5 Derby (a) FA Cup
    -3/8 City (h) PL
    -3/15 Tottenham (a) PL
    -3/21 Sheffield Utd (h) PL
    Big win today but lots of games coming up and some pretty tough one on paper. If we can negotiate the next few Prem games coming up, it could go a long way in giving us a real chance at reaching top 4-5.
    With more players coming back though, Ole will have to do well in terms of rotating some guys, with freshness down the stretch a big key (as we saw again last season when the team was fried physically for the most part).
    First things first though, as far as the league and our pursuit of CL football next season are concerned, we can't wet the bed vs Watford and waste today's result. Have to insure we get all 3pts next weekend.

    interestingly enough we are still the 6th best attack in the league BUT we are now the joint 4th best defence.

    tied with city who haven't been great and neither have we as seen this weekend but my start of season fears about goals have shifted from those we score to those we give up

    We still have a problem with goal scoring. It has been papered over by Rashford and Martial scoring at a higher rate than xG. Part of the reason all the "look how good Lukaku is doing" comments grind my gears is first he demanded to leave if he wasn't first choice and second that he is the most service dependent forward we've had in years and if he's scoring it is because he's getting plenty of chances.

    Aside from that, we need to create more chances, I suspect that Martial's finishing is down to him being an elite finisher, that just seems to be his ability since he's been here. Rashford looks like he's making the leap, but he scores worldies and nobody can do that consistently.

    Yep.

    I mean you are 4 points ahead of Arsenal who have had bottom 10 data for large parts of the season.

    10 points separate the middle table 10 sides from Utd to Newcastle

    Essentially an obese bellcurve gut of mediocrity :ROFLMAO:
