If they'd kept Joe Hart & Kompany wasn't plagued by injury they'd be in contention for the title imo.
And, we're off.....2016/17

Thats why phil, but I disagree with the manager bit, think he is good enough but players like Sturridge are just not good enough for a staring eleven.
Would any of the others that are looking at a top four finish want Sturridge. Well City and Chelsea did then didn't, and there's no way Arsenal or spuds would, even the rags don't need him.

Liverpool's next 7 games look like they will determine the rest of their season...
Hull (a), Spurs (h), Leicester (a), Arsenal (h), Burnley (h), Man City (a), Everton (h)
They should beat Hull away and Burnley at home but then Arsenal should have beaten Watford at home. 21 points on offer there and I'm not sure that I would bet on them getting more than 12 in total.
By comparison Man City have.....
Swansea (h), Bournemouth (a), Sunderland (a), Stoke (h), Liverpool (h), Arsenal (a), Chelsea (a)
And Man Utd have....
Leicester (a), Watford (h), Bournemouth (h), Southampton (a), Boro (a), West Brom (h), Everton (h)
Would definitely choose Utds next 7 fixtures to either of the other two. Could easily see them getting 17 or 18 points from those games and putting them clear of both City and Liverpool.

Best you can hope for now pal.
I'd be surprised if you didn't tbh.
GK needs to be top of Peps shopping list in the summer.
I never thought Hart was brilliant,but he's steady.
Bravo is shocking.

Well the finally finishing positions haven't been decided and our squad has been good enough to be in the Top 4 so far - had our injuries , players away and they are now coming back and we are still there. People have been writing us off all season yet still there. Sturridge will still play a part during the rest of the season - won't start many games but will come on. Got all the tougher games left to play at home. Still confident that we can stay in the Top 4 but there is a long way to go yet and all the teams are going to drop points including Chelsea.

People have been writing you off as title contenders all season,not top 4👍🏻
And you're not still there.
It's not the "tougher games" that are the problem.
It's the Sunderlands & Swansea's you need to worry about.
They are level now but 4th only on goal difference, which is reducing massively at West Ham 😂
Man Utd need to score and win to stay in contention, especially as there goal diffetence is the poorest of all the top 4 contenders.
Some of those bottom clubs are not 3 point bankers, they are fighting for their PL lives and the likes of Burnley & Hull will kill off some dreams of a top 4 place I think in the coming weeks. .

I don't think there are any bankers in the Prem now.
Ok Sunderland/Hull are poor,but it's not a massive shock if they take points off a top 4 team.
But Hull are no mugs and have been very unlucky with some results, I think the Hull Vs Liverpool match is the toughest and most decisive this weekend and it could change so many positions from 3rd to 6th, that's if united nick a late winner and irrelevant of what happens at the Bridge, and if Hull hold out tonight there confidence will be high for Liverpools visit.

Al take that.
And the same again against the Swans will get back that much need goal difference.

Hull are definitely going down along with Sunderland imo.
Then it's Palace,boro or Leicester.
I'll probably go Leicester.

I can't believe what's going on at OT.
YET AGAIN the opponents' goalkeeper turns into Manuel Neuer and gets Man of the Match.
United blew it big time.
Very poor.

Got a feeling that Swansea will be better organised though.
I think the bottom is as interesting as the top, you wouldn't bet against Boro, Leicester & Swansea all losing and if Hull based on tonight's performance get 3 points then that brings all the bottom 6 well into play and any of those 5 could join Sunderland in a relegation scrap right to the end.
