Match Day Thread Vs Man Utd (A)

Do we know what the injury to kabak was and is he likely to be back for this one?

 

no idea.

It won't be a major one but who knows, maybe it was precautionary or it could be two weeks in which case there'd be out for the season reports.

 

Muscle injury, no return date yet. Don't think he'll be ready for this one.
He's a CB, what can we expect?

 

yeah, could have been a twinge, but likely to be at least the week, we don't know when it happened but he was in the team for the utd first game then out for southampton so who knows.

I think he's been carrying something myself so would not be shocked if he were out for rest of season.

 

Utd ****show is in

 

Utd surrender the league timidly

No fans any where near old Trafford, massive security laid on.

 

surprised to see Greenwood tbh

 

Out of form Leicester vs Man U B team. Could be interesting.

If Leicester lose, what does that do for their confidence? Or is that their rock bottom?

 

What does it do for utd to lose 6 or 7 nil before the europa.

If we cant win we are too honest to do for Fernandes and pogba. Not yard dogs.... unlike some

 

Sadio Mané: ‘This is the worst season of my career. I have to admit it. If you ask me what is wrong, I will struggle to give you an answer. Personally I don't know.’

‘I even underwent a test to take a look at my body. Am I eating the right foods, or has everything changed? But they checked the test results, and everything is fine. I need to understand that in life there are ups and downs. I will keep on working hard.’

 

He had Covid didn't he? It affects people in different ways - many, including myself and at least two others I know personally, have still not really recovered after a year.
I can fully understand how it could be enough to take that few percentage points off his performance to make the difference - even though he may not feel ill.

 

Really hope we can beat them after what they did there with Leicester.

 

Fixed.

But I foresee a draw. This year is not our year.

 

Win this and then West Brom on Sunday puts huge pressure on Leicester v chelsea on the Tuesday.

 

Part of me wanted Chelsea to win yesterday, because I've got my hopes up now and I'm not sure if I could take them being crushed by Man utd of all teams - I mean we couldn't win at OT even when we were really good

 

Incredible as it may seem, it is still in our hands. Win all 4 matches we are guaranteed top 4 irrespective of what the others do. The Chelsea/Leicester clash doesn’t make any difference. Our GD will be better than the others too.

 

we are not. 4 1-0 wins = 69 points and a GD of 22
Leicester lose 1-0 and then win 3-0 in the final game and they are on 69 points and GD 23

simple, we can be done on GD.

Cheslea can now get 70points max any slip at all and they can get 68 max. thats fine but if they win both games then GD becomes important.

Leicester have the 2 extra points so 4 points is more than enough for them to be 3rd/4th

The ideal here is leicester lose both or draw both games. If they lose both then a draw v utd is ok provided we win them all. even if they lose both we can only win 3 to catch.

Cheslea and leicester will play the fa cup then turn round and play in the league again. Overall I cannot see leicester being capable of doing that as they have to give everything for the FA cup.

that puts cheslea on 67 in my mind and they finish up v aston villa with a small but ok gap to the CL final. I think they will get 70. a slip would be great but I just see this being advantage cheslea due to squad size.

As that means leicester are the more likely target and so we will be relying on them losing at least 1. As they have 66 points and out max is 69 theres literally no room for us to go draw tonight. We need to get goals for the rest of the games as well and turn up for the final day HOPEFULLY needing to score more than leicester to be 4th. Crowd in, bit of a buzz etc etc.

 

If it helps I don't think we will get enough points to pass either of them as it is.

 

thanks for that. saves me watching

 

What happened to the fun confident jaffaklopp?
