The fuss over United being poor is being blown well out of proportion, Jose was starting from a position well back in City's rear mirror and behind a few others, has caught and overtaken the others but fans going mad cause the gap to City is even bigger.
Credit to Pep rather than shame on Jose.
The Lukaku signing will continue to infuriate though
Judge yourselves at the end of the season.
I don’t think you will get second to be honest I think Jose will implode again.

It is definately being blown out of proportion, though I disagree that he was behind 'others', city yes, but we had a more expensive squad than the rest.

Yeah realistically Utd should be the ones closest to competing with them anyway, on paper atleast with maybe Chelsea not too far behind.
More expensive but less talented than Tottenham and Chelsea.
The league table showed you were behind them now you are above.
You’re only second because the rest of the pack have been poor. It’s bit like how arsenal were second when Leicester won. Only there because the other 5 teams were so poor
we would definitely give City a game then.
Nail on. This is what the idiot Robb did not understand yesterday. You think Ferguson would've set up defensively against City when they came to Old Trafford??? Had they lost that game who knows. you have these idiots saying how can you compete against this.... well of course we bloody cannot if let them come to our own house and make a mockery of us
I don't think we have been too bad.
Though there are 9-10 games this season (all competitions) that I have watched and just thought: "are these even pro footballers?" as some of the stuff I have witnessed has been shocking but I think part of that is down to Mourinho and he do not lose at any cost tactics.
The rest of the games I think we have been fairly lethal in front of goal, hence our goals difference and sitting top of our CL group.
tbf to Utd, they are not that poor. They ARE 2nd and LFC have been slamming in goals, CFC have a top team and Spurs have probably Europes top marksman...yet Utd are 2nd!
I still feel that LFC will finish above Utd though.
Maureen does know how to become hard to beat, he is a grinder...a 1-0 here and 2-1 there, 95th minute winners etc.
Its the style of footy, the unlimited resources they have and the fact City are miles ahead. Utd haev very good players but imo their bestv players are the older ones; and they have to replace them!
I actually think the top 3 will be as it is now come May.
We're having a bit of wobble post Manchester derby defeat which basically saw our title challenge end so there was always likely to be a bit of a hangover. Once we get over it we'll go again and should be fine.
Even in the 4 league games since we've won 2 and drawn 2. Not terrible by any means.

The issue is not being second to city, the issue is the lack of a consistent playing style and approach to games.
We know what happens when we play the big teams.
Do you honestly think we are good enough to go blow for blow with them though? Maybe when we have a clean bill of health and everyone is in good form we might be but how often is that likely?
Spurs and Liverpool got a spanking Vs City. We nearly got a point and would have done but for Lukaku not being City's best player on the day despite them playing better football.
HOLD ON!!! We ONLY got a spanking because we were down to ten, if u watch the match we were the better sided before that ridiculous red.
Yes...after the red we did capitulate, and thats the most disappointing part of THAT game.
City beat us 6-1 Vs 10 men but they never shut up about it.
A spanking is a spanking.

I could have sworn though you had 11 men on the pitch when you took a spanking of Spurs though.
You got well beaten at City, like the rest of us, take it on the chin mate.

We we’re still beating you with 11 though and had got through twice as well.
Yeah Liverpool have a team that could give a good team a spanking or receive one themselves.
Anybody on here get near Jose at all ? If so, would it be possible to ask him to stop feckin moaning and whinging about every thing when things don't go well. He'll have to accept, your mighty team are 2nd at best. Thank you.
I thought the issue was more to do with the way united have been playing.
They are 2nd and still very effienent but the style of football is probably the worst out of the top 6.
I expect Chelsea to get 2nd and united battling for top 4 in the end
Mourinho will never stop moaning. as ray Wilkinson suggested, he is the best deflector

Yeah but people aren’t falling for it they are asking why our spending means united couldn’t beat Burnley or Huddersfield.

............
Our last 3 games in all competitions have been some of the most wasteful games you will see this season. Opposition scored about 50% of the chances in those 3 games, we scored like 5% lol and our chances were so easy to score.
We should have beat Burnley by 5 or 6. Should have hit 5 or 6 against Leciester City. In fact we were as clinical as they were we would have won by 10.
Liverpool have agreed a £75m deal to sign Virgil van Dijk from Southampton.
.....
and they say Man Utd overpaid for players lol.
