They are cruising to a title. Nobody looks like they are going to challenge minus injuries.

Didn’t see that one coming.

Didn’t see that one coming.

I didn't see City falling off a cliff and the penalties still may come for them. Chelsea has stepped it up but Liverpool is a step above right now.

What, if anything, does this say about MU other than their luck is bad?

Probably nothing on such a small sample size.

Luck doesn’t help piss poor set piece defending. It’s every GD match. Teams aren’t really generating great attempts against United but every set piece is a roller coaster. It started under Hag and Amorin hasn’t gotten a cure yet. Most teams concede around 11% for corners. United is closer to 45%. Crazy!!!!

Another great piece of defending on a corner yet again for United. Two weeks in a row different United keepers let a corner go in directly from the corner untouched. The first one there was an actual foul where the keepers hand was held and missed, but they still let it happen the following week. It's borderline crazy how awful this current United team was....but it was Ole's fault...Hag's fault...oh wait...maybe it's the cancer in that lockerroom. God bless Bruno's workrate, but Keane would have been throwing fists by now. Not a single United player moved 2 Wolves players from Onana's space...they just let them park in front and behind him. This is some very basic defending, middle school level stuff. Bunch of pu$$ies on that team.

Certainly one of the bigger surprises of the season (NF being in 2nd place)

If Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton go down this season, that will be 10 of the last 15 promoted sides who have gone straight back down

United finally played decent at Anfield. I’ll gladly take any point there and Maguire missed a sitter at the death. Why they can’t put out decent efforts consistently is beyond me.
