Unfortunate to not get the win today... morale is low. Morale is low? Why? Leading the league, good position in CL... what more do you want lol? | ||

Sticking my Inter hat on, quite happy with Feyenoord I gotta say, but it’s not a gimme. Think Villa, Arsenal and Barca can be quite happy with their draws. | ||

It's moreso to do with our legs clearly starting to give out on us. If it was just like, 1 game blips, that would be fine. But Everton, Wolves, Villa have seen us be very ragged on defense and not having the midfield control that we were touted for the first half of the season. It's clear without any moves in the summer/winter windows and Slots refusal to rotate much like giving Elliott/Endo more minutes that Gravy and Szobo have both regressed a bit as of late. Plus another hard stretch of games with City away, Newcastle at home, then drawing PSG in the Ro16. It definitely feels very reminiscent of last season where we started strong then just fell apart in the 2nd half. Idk, bad memories from last year and also obviously the times we've lost by a point to City means we're a bit traumatized and scarred. Losing to City could start the spiral down though, that's why I feel incredibly nervous and afraid atm that we're going to bottle the season. | ||

You only have Arsenal to be afraid of tbh, and they aren't doing much better right now. I think you'll probably hang on. You might even get a kick of form. If you beat City you're on for the title for sure. | ||

Arsenal don't have a striker but they can still find results. And people keep saying they're gonna drop points and blah blah but they haven't yet. They just keep finding wins and when Saka eventually comes back, they might get another injection of energy to finish out the season strong like last season. Idk, I'm being very pessimistic right now and it's probably all for nothing at the end but that's just my feeling atm. | ||

We've got Newcastle away, Arsenal at home and then City at home all in the next week. That's brutal. If we come out of it still in the top 4 I'll be confident about a CL place next season though. | ||

Did you see Leicester yesterday? They were just as bad as United have been today, if not worse. | ||

Arsenal and Bournemouth losing, Villa play Chelsea, Forest play Newcastle and Liverpool play City. Dropped points everywhere at the top of the table. | ||

Very poor from them. What's happened to Palmer? Villa looking like a FM 2014 team with Rashford and Asensio coming off the bench to make the difference. | ||
