What was up with the fog last night? I could barely see the ball on the screen in the top half of the pitch. First time I've seen it so bad.
Someone joked that the united players couldn't see each other in their zebra camouflage.

That was horrible. Not sure why openserve upgraded my fibre line when I could see just as well as on dialup.

United are playing on dial up level too tho, so it is that.

It was trending last night.
Ye ole #oleout bump. Lots of desire. Executed when they needed to. Horrific ball possession and passing but I'll take it.

A good Derby win.

5 points from 3 away games. Could have predicted that run of results given the unpredictability of this season.

Shaw MOTM again. Decent game by martial but woeful shot.

Lol we play kak against easier opponent and everyone is up in arms then we go and beat the league leaders and this place is like a ghost town... guess it shows how we have thrown away a positive performance to reach the top

Hey? it was a good performance, but until consistency is shown there is nothing to go wild about.

Long overdue, but an inside united appointment. So a bit of restructuring. I understand he's been doing the job for the academy hence our very active recruitment at that level in the last few years.

This little Amad dude looks like he wants to play. Martial, on the other hand, looks like he wants to sulk if he doesn't get things going his way.

Frustrating game.

Missed two easy goals (no idea how Maguire fudged his chance) so should've been cruising at 3-0 before they went to bed in extra time.

Agreed ... Maguire and Dan James had pretty much open nets .. Looks like they've caught a case of Martialitis.

Then again, was a daft VAR handball decision that denied Milan a goal.

Talking tactics though. I felt it served us right having Williams, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw, Telles, McTom, Fred and Matic on the pitch at the same time, that's 8 defensive minded players. And couldn't even keep the clean sheet.

Its tactics like that that makes people not like Ole.
Need goals? Sort by Attack .. put on top 8 attack minded players. Defending a one goal lead? Sort on "tacklers" put on 8 defensive minded players.

57 points, 9 games left to play and 27 points to be had.

What do you all reckon with the following fixture list?

Brighton
Spurs
Burnley
Leeds
Liverpool
Aston Villa
Leicester
Fulham
Wolves


5th place is West Ham with a game in hand and possibly on 51 points but we have +14 goal difference.

Is top 4 wrapped up? We've averaged just under 2 points per game so far this season, which projects 18 points from the remainder, that's 6 wins ... or 5 wins 3 draws and a loss. However, the way this season has gone, who knows! But 6 wins should do it. So which 6 games do you all reckon is our best shot?
