I would imagine that the reality is now dawning on those who boldly proclaimed top for was already nailed and there were a lot of you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure many said it was nailed on. I still reckon it will be quite comfortable, I'll hold my hands up if I'm wrong.

The reality after we only got 1 point out of 6.

People were quite rightly confident on top 4 a few weeks ago. Doubt many of us expected to get 1 out of 6 points out of those two fixtures.

the game vs Newcastle is a six pointer, too.

We might not make this top 4 if these things keep happening. ie suspensions to key players, getting inexplicably tanked, dropping points at home to the most hopeless teams in the leagues.

It shows how thin our squad really is only after 8 months of the ETH era. Plenty more work to do over the next 2 or 3 windows before United will become a bonifide challenger. But the early signs and improvements are good and I believe Erik is ahead of schedule. |Meanwhile McFred will have to do a job for us until Erikson and Cass return. Big transfer window (ins and outs) ahead for us this summer.

A draw at Anfield and a win yesterday would have seen us home and hosed I think.

Now it's still well within our hands but we've made hard work of it as we often do.

We could potentially be in 5th place if we lose our next league game away at Newcastle due to the fact we have no league game next weekend where Spurs and Newcastle both do. They are both away though so let's hope 1 or both slip up.

I don't think our squad is coping all that well with the amount of games sadly. Fatigue has definitely kicked in for some of them.

Our summer window won't be spectacular. We have to meet FFP regulations so unless we are able to recoup quite a bit of money on player sales I think we are going to be a little underwhelmed with our summer business. Probably room for one major signing though.

There's a certain irony that neither of McFred started yesterday, presumably to avoid giving away silly free kicks and then the one midfielder we did pick got sent off for a silly foul

Maguire Martial McT out this summer.

A long term CF and CM player in will do.

I doubt that is the reason they weren't picked. Either Fred or McT should have started alongside Casemiro yesterday in place of Weghorst and we could have possibly avoided the red. People say Casemiro could have cost United top four, but I would say Weghorst could.

Yes, but even then Spurs, Newcastle and Liverpool only gained 2 points on us.

It's more that the sides behind us are more inconsistent than us rather than us being brilliant.

I just can't see anyone taking Martial with his wages and injury record.

I'd rather us keep him for a year and let him go for free than loan him out and subsidise his wages.

I think we'll get something for the other 2.

…..

A very basic understanding of how football works coupled with our very thin squad fighting on all four fronts should have told you this.

Spurs are only couple of points behind us. And they've been dreadful, how an earth. We've dropped some stupid points, yesterday was one of them, Crystal Palace another.

Riiiiight.

So we got spanked 7-0 by Liverpool because we were tired?
We drew against Southampton because of fatigue and not because we went down to 10 men?

It’s called probability. Hence why the odds were heavily in our favour to beat Southampton.

But you know better, don’t you lol

there is always West Ham

11 v 11 I think we'd have found a way to win yesterday for sure. This is what can happen though. We have to keep our discipline.

ETH specifically mentioned not giving away silly free kicks before the game and given the past history of Fred and McT I'd be amazed if it wasn't a major factor

If you don't think the players look tired, you must be watching a different team than most of us. We were crap before the red card yesterday too and even ETH has said our recent performances have been poor, by and large. And he isn't wrong. Fatigue is sure to be playing a big part right now

You don’t think we would have won with 11 men?

You think fatigue caused the 7-0 defeat?

Bruno & Rashford have certainly played an awful lot and probably need a break.

Spurs have United in their sights now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I wouldn't be shocked to see Spurs at least run us close now that you have no other distractions. You are quite average on the road although so are we.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah we will drop plenty of points away from home - we’re brittle as faaaaack.

We could finish anywhere from 3-6 in my opinion - some of our fans getting giddy because we beat a team that haven’t won an away game all season is hilarious

I thought it was harsh but no massive complaints with it really - you jump in like that, you run that risk.

Re. Top 4 - it definitely isn't done and dusted. There's actually a fair chance we could be 5th by the end of our next league game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah with games in hand. The schedule isn't kind to us at all sadly.

The Brighton game doesn't actually have a free date for it to be rearranged incredibly. If we progress in Europe and the FA cup then there's not a single date we can play it on. What will have to happen is we play Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday again in one week.

Absolute lunacy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Think the first week in May before the West Ham game and the last week of the season before Fulham have mid week empty spots even going all the way in the Europa
