0 wins in 3 and only 3 points in 9 games against easy opposition to. If and that's a big IF we beat Swansea, then we have made up 6 points on United and will only be 4 points behind. We were 10 points behind them only a few games ago. They are certainly catchable and 2nd place is still right up for grabs if we can have a strong 2nd half to the season and get the likes of Toby and Wanyama back soon.
I honestly don't think United are all that and when we are at full strength and firing, I think we are a better side than United no doubt about it. Liverpool are looking strong but still look fragile in defence and whether Van Dijk makes a difference so soon remains to be seen. Arsenal are Arsenal and will continue to win games then lose the next against a Burnley or someone of that nature. Chelsea for me are the strongest bar Mancity and I said that at the start. I still think we will find it hard to get 2nd place but it's certainly up for grabs.
United and top 4 place

Firmino?
He does that already to some extent, even though it's not exactly how we like to play. He scores enough headed goals overall too when we employ that tactic and he gets on the end of set pieces, he brings others into play and confuses defences with clever movement.
Clearly you don't watch us or you only pay attention to what you want to see.
In any case, why does 352 have to have a target man? Teams have played it without target men saan.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have never seen Firminio play that role, in fact when have Liverpolol played 3-5-2 and whjo against?
======
We don't play that way but I'm sure we've switched to that formation midgame a few times, sometimes we change formations many times in one half, leave alone a full match. It's down to the variety.
Also, I didn't say Firmino has played that role. I said he has the qualities to play upfront in a 2 with his eye for goal, use of space, technique and link up play.
Are you saying Firmino can't play in a 352?
Furthermore, perhaps Firmino has played for us in a 352... How would I know? Out of tens of football matches I watch in an average week, stuff like the exact match would be impossible to remember. Your being ridiculous and pathetic.
I could tell you how we play, formations with reasonable accuracy etc but I can't even remember who played right back 10 games ago between TAA and Gomez.
You're idea of 352 needing a target man to work is honestly laughable.
Also, Kane isn't a target man, have some fackin respect for the best English striker of the moment. We should at least be happy he's not a lump like many before him. Spurs don't play with a target mana d haven't for a long time IMO.

To be honest 2 of those draws were the best games we played this season and the other we would have won if Pogba left it.

Just watched the last 8 minutes of the 1st half and Newport County are pressing Spurs and giving them the runaround and look the only team likely to score next
