with many thinking that the league will be v close (eg within 4 points) has man u start heaped even more pressure on themselves. lets be fair its hardly likely these 4 points will be made up within even 2 months so they are going to be playing catch up for some time yet. can they handle it with a number of new relatively inexperienced players, and chelsea for example are hardly likely to crumble under pressure as they have v experienced players. you just simply don't win the league losing 6 matches anymore as was the case 10 years ago. and draws are becoming losses more and more. even now these 4 points may be crucial come the end of the season.

It depends...
Chelsea could drop three points at the weekend and we'd be back to square one

Re: Man Utd only 2 games gone BUT
Talk about stating the obvious. If 'p0-0l win on Sunday gap between us and Chelsea (only gap which matters, 'p0-0l will be 10 points back by January) will be one point (provided we finally win of course!).

Chelsea could have drew either game also. I think they will drop 4 points in the next 5 games not 3 months.

Re: Man Utd only 2 games gone BUT
First six games 06/07:
Man Utd 5-1 Fulham
Charlton 0-3 Man Utd
Watford 1-2 Man Utd
Man Utd 1-0 Tottenham
Man Utd 0-1 Arsenal
Reading 1-1 Man Utd
Total = 13 pts
First six games 07/08:
Man Utd 0-0 Reading
Portsmouth 1-1 Man Utd
Man City v Man Utd
Man Utd v Tottenham
Man Utd v Sunderland
Everton v Man Utd
Total so far = 2 pts
After 6 games we could have 14 pts? which would be an improvement on last season.
With the players we have injured/missing, especially the forward players, Foster, Neville, Silvestre, Hargreaves, Anderson, Solskjaer, Park, Ronaldo, Rooney and Saha, we can only improve as a team when these players come back.
So i am not worried yet just disappointed that we got 2 draws instead of 2 wins in our opening two games.
Hopefully this weekend it will be Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea.
Man Utd 5-1 Fulham
Charlton 0-3 Man Utd
Watford 1-2 Man Utd

Hmm, Utd have some tough games - if utd win all these then they would be my favourites for the title - however I expect points to be dropped in at least one game and maybe as many as three

Re: Man Utd only 2 games gone BUT
Seriously with those 4 games to come, 2 wins and 2 draws wouldn't be the end of the world.
Hopefully we don't drop more than 2 points though. So it would be 12 from 6.

Re: Man Utd only 2 games gone BUT
I admired their football last season but generally I hate them.
Yeh, I meant the league in general. Arsenal of course will be storming away from the rest of the pack by then

Re: Man Utd only 2 games gone BUT
They'll probably be fine - they've still got a good XI to put out with some reasonable backup on the bench. Ronaldo's back in three games anyway, by which time maybe Saha, Hargreaves, Solskjaer, Anderson and Neville will be available. Only Park and Rooney are out for any significant length of time.
