I think we'll end up 4th behind city, Liverpool and arsenal
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Above Brighton, Newcastle, Spurs, Villa?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes. We are better than all of those clubs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Are we?

Spurs and Brighton have beat us already this season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So ? Brighton beat us 4-0 last season.

Really?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe so yes.

People keep making excuses for this club, saying we're in dire straits because half the squad is injured well why do you all think we're gonna continue to be sh!t if we get all these players back and finally start clicking?

Last season Man Utd had a 7.2% conversion rate scoring 58 goals from 804 shots and this season we are even worse scoring 7 goals from 113 shots giving basically a 6.2% conversion rate and what is worse, our strikers mess up easy chances by passing the ball out of play or shooting when a simple pass and we have a sitter.😂

Ten Hag must think how did we get so many useless attackers at the club. I believe we create similar to Ten Hag Aiax sides that used to score for fun.

Hard to say we're "better" than Newcastle. Can anyone see us beating Villa 5-1 and any team 8-0 away? They defend well, work hard and can be brutal in front of goal when they smell blood.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The magpies were pumping teams left right and centre last year too. We finished above them and knocked them out the cup.

5th place gets top 4 this season doesn't it?

Arsenal attempted 688 shots and scored 88 goals with a 12.8% conversion rate and Man City attempted 796 shots and scored 94 goals with a 11.8% conversion rate. I believe Man Utd had nearly double Man City in shots in the FA Cup all rounds and scored nearly half as many goals.😂

Missing individuals or no, United don't seem to have a style of play right now. I watched the Bayern and Burnley games and have no idea what your manager is trying to achieve. It's hard to see how it gets better from here
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mostly due to our players not following instruction, not being a good fit for the style of play or simply not having the stamina to play the way the manager wants.

If we converted same as Arsenal last season we would have scored 103 league goals and we created significantly more big chances than them. We only scored 58.😂 Ten Hag tactically has done a great job, the useless players just let him down. I think when Rangnick took the job we scored 1 goal every 4XG or so and conceded 2 goals every 1XG and people called Rangnick useless.😂

posted on 24/9/23

I actually think Ten Hag is better than SAF at Man Utd in management. He is just terrible at recruiting players at the striker end of the pitch. Rangnick even said to get Alvarez, Diaz and Vlahovic. Ole wanted Haaland for cheap but it was too expensive for us lol but we happily pay £80M for Maguire.

Talk is great. Buts Its a squad with new and untested players tho season. Injured players come back and keep getting injured again. Lets see where we are at Christmas. And the next ten games or so, look easier. On paper.

We had 0.86 xG yesterday to Burnley's 0.96 but scored. Lol

Bayern game we had 0.85 xG and scored 3. Lol

V Brighton was had 0.95 xG scored 1 lol

V Arsenal 0.94 xG scored 1 lol

We shouldn't have scored in about a month now but have scored loads. We are just really, really efficient and have a really, really good conversion rate compared to other teams.

£4M all we needed for Haaland.😂 We could have dominated leagues as our main issue is scoring goals from many chances although Haaland this season is converting like our strikers. Anyway rant over. I feel for Fernandes as he should be playing to win league titles with his creativity.

Interestingly last season Man City XG from open play was 64.90 and scored 71 goals. Man Utd XG from open play was 63.09 and scored 49 goals. We shot 479 times in open play not including blocked shots and Man City took 437 shots. Arsenal took 446 shots and XG from open play was 63.94 andscored 70 goals. We actually would have had a higher XG but onside chances were flagged wrongly like the 2 sitters we missed at Anfield were like over 1 XG but counted as offside when miles on.

Let's see where we are at Christmas. The league table at this point means absolutely nothing.

Utd and Chelsea have been absolutely battered by injury so I'm not surprised we've both had poor starts. Obviously Chelsea have had a much worse one than us though.

Palace H
Brentford H
Sheff Utd A

That's our next 3 PL games. If we were to win all those games the narrative for top 4 changes yet again.

What is true is we need to get some players back. We've no chance if we don't.

Unsure of your point.
We finished way above them in the league.

Spurs XG from open play was 42.35XG and scored 50 league goals so 1 more goal than Man Utd with 20.64XG less lol. That is why I wanted Kane so badly.

True. I'm being optimistic, hoping we can now string some wins together after a bit of a tough start.
Players will hopefully start coming back, fitness levels will increase and form of certain will get better with a bit of luck.

Doesn't mean we will this season.

Well Rashford screwed up all our attacks against Arsenal when in behind and Garnacho just mistimed his run and fact is Hojlund deserved a penalty. Bayern game XG is strange as Garnacho missed a big chance before we scored our last 2 and they were all from close range so it makes no sense sometimes. I would have expected to score all the chances we did score from.

posted on 24/9/23

Bayern were lucky with 2 of the goals they scored a free penalty and a Onana howler.

So xG to be ignored when it doesn't suit the narrative but used blindly when it does? You need recalibrated Hafi. You can easily be replaced by AI if you don't up your game
