The way things are going I just don't see how we are going to win all those games, we aren't even scoring at the moment. I think the bare minimum we need to see is better all round displays. If we can see that then we can build from there.

I expect 0 points

It's a crazy situation, but I think it's going to depend on what happens with Partey. We saw yesterday the difference in our MF in the second half.

If it's minor, then atleast we'll have the option of changing formation into something more attacking.

Without him our best option is Xhaka and Ceballos in a 343.

Can anybody seriously see us beating Leeds?

We are no better than teams like Leeds and wolves

We will finish these games with a points deduction

When we're on it, we've shown we can beat any prem team.

So, yes. We can beat Leeds.

What pressure is on? Where are u expecting arsenal to finish?

Whether they are or not, there's not a chance we win all 5 of our next (Premier League) games.

We need to win at least 3 though. 3 wins, 1 draw and a 1 loss would be 'acceptable'. Anything less and we'll be in big trouble already IMO.

When was the last time we have been on it consistently

Parking the bus against the big boys has been the approach that has seen us win a few games.

If things carry on as they are, we will be lucky to finish in the top half of the table. That's no exaggeration.

Whatever you think about how bad Arsenal are, that distinct possibility should never be the case given. Yet it's more likely to happen than getting into the top-4.

You’ll win plenty of those games.

Do we genuinely think we are in a better place than we were under Wenger?

Did Wengie apologise in his book for financially crippling us with the likes of Ozil, Xhaka, Mustafi, Lacazette, Kolasinac, Chambers, Mkhi etc

3 years later his horrendous purchases are still haunting us

If we’re as we are now We’ll probably do better against likes of spurs, then make real hard work of Burnley or Leeds. Our system seems to be mostly effective when we are the true underdogs in a game. If we don’t sort out how we score goals soon we will struggle in most of those games, even if our defence is better than it was yesterday.

But yes games against Leeds, wolves, Southampton and Burnley really have to be considered games you win otherwise you’d have to really question our progress. If you can’t beat most of those teams then you’re a bottom half/ mid table team at best

We played Leicester after they had lost 2 games. Played villa after they lost their last 2 games.

Leeds I believe have also lost their last 2 games

Welcome Arsenal

Nothing is must win at this stage of the season, as United showed last year!

The Premier League has changed and now it's the more you can press your opposition the greater chance you have obtaining three points. That's why apart from Spurs are in the top four. Southampton, Leicester, and Liverpool press better than most teams. Spurs has been grinding out results, but their form will dip no doubt. That's why Man U and Arsenal are struggling. Because they can't press consistently most games.

When was the last time we won 5 league games on the bounce?

I think we won 6 consecutive league games from late August- late October 2018.
