    Sanj great call and agreed – we need to have some belief until it can’t happen mathematically. I’m the same – why not have hope? I don’t expect us to win the league, but I do go into every game expecting a win 😉 contradicting myself there? Absolutely!

    Then, once the maths don’t work anymore, we just have to hope the teams above us get docked points 😉

    Mikus, I agree with that re Conte.

    I was at the Bridge yesterday and if we play anywhere near that consistently we will reclaim a CL place.

    I just think we are still 2/3 players short for a real title challenge v the Manchester clubs and I don’t think we will get them before the window closes. But given last season I guess you can’t rule out anything.☺ Cheers 999

    Too early to be predicting Title Challenges IMO,A few Clubs have much stronger squads than We have although they have the extra workload of the CL/EL to contend with, I would be happy if We improve on Last seasons finish but let’s give Jurgen time to make His own stamp on the Squad and then see where it takes us,Hopefully We will see some progress being made.

    Not sure Utd have players that are that much better than ours Pogba aside, however they have a coach who knows how to win games in this league and get the most out of those players.

    bob…unbelievably biased mate. If your a football man you will trully admit united have a brilliant team rivalry aside. Luke shaw? bailley? Da gae? Zlatan? Martial? I would say even Blind would be an upgrade in your defence,Thats 5 top class players there. So you think moreno is equal to shaw? and blind wouldnt get into your defence. Joses got the team clicking.thoughts mate?

    It’s not biased at all. The one I forgot was your keeper so I defo give you that.

    Luke shaw never massively rated, bailley I wouldn’t say is any better than Matip or Sakho (if the latter plays), Zlat is no better than Sturridge (again if the latter is played), Martial no better than say Firmino. Blind lol.

    Any genuine liverpool fans out there that can vouch for me? lol. i think Blinds a brilliant brilliant player. I also forgot Mkhi. class act. Think Shaw will go on to be the best left back in the league.

    Fergiesarmy,How can you have a brilliant team? You’ve made 3 signings,and the rest of the squad are the players that flopped under van Gaal and Moyes. De Gea is world class,granted. Rooney still gets a game when everyone can see he’s finished at the top level,Bailly looks a good player,but the rest of your defence doesn’t wow me that much,in midfield,Blind,Carrick,Herrera and the likes are no better than the likes of Lucas and Henderson. Mkhitaryan can’t get in the side. Up front,Martial is a great player,Rooney is finished,Ibrahimovic is there for a last pay day (and I wouldn’t swap him for Sturridge) and Rashford is sat on the bench. Great team? I don’t think so

    Cautiously Optimistic (of United’s chances), but let us all come back here after October….

    We may have a clearer picture by then..

    Jezus lads your clutching at straws here. No matter how much we dislike them manu will finish miles ahead of us this season so let’s not give them any ammo to fire at us.

    Aussie they will prob finish ahead of us but I stand by my comments in terms of players. As I said thou difference is they have a manager who knows the league inside out.

    Bob i think its a lot more than a manager that knows the league, it’s still 11 v 11 & we have no Europe. Yes the bottom teams here are more chance of an upset than Germany but with no Europe we only have to be prepared for 1 game a week. People were making out Klopp was going to be the great messiah but he’s making the same errors as previous managers & we really don’t seem to have a plan other than pressing & countering in numbers.
    tbh mate I think manu are more balanced than we are. We have a midfielder playing the lone striker role, midfielder playing left back, enough no10’s to supply half the EPL, f all depth in defenders, & the rest of the midfield gets bullied most games, it just goes on & on.
    Not only will they finish above us they’ll finish way above us

    Not winding you guys up.Da gae,shaw,martial,bailley,mkhi,pogba. thats half a team that would comfartably eyes closed walk into your team. I would add Blind/zlatan buts thats debatable.

    Aussie it’s a different approach mate. Trust me don’t undersestinate the influence of Jose … Because of his style, utd will so difficult to beat and for that reason they will finish ahead of us.

    If they finish way above us then questions will need to be asked.

    I understand Bob, remember Rafa started out with us by tightening up at the back & making us hard to beat. Now I’m not bagging Klopp here, far from it as I think he’s by far the best we could get but if Moanino can come into Manu & make them hard to beat & looking like title contenders maybe Klopps pressing tactic isn’t the one we should adopt for the EPL. We will concede pretty much every game & unless we go on a scoring frenzy Ala SAS under Rodgers we won’t go any good.
    Hopefully it’ll just take a bit more time to come good ( heard that one a million times) but at the moment it appears we have no plan b when the pressing doesn’t work.

    Agree it’s much better to watch Klopps style but Moanio gets results.
