Good win. Curious y'alls thoughts on chances of top 4 finish. Remaining schedule isn't the easiest. Looks like Man City has a few tough matches left but Liverpool seems to have an easy remaining schedule. Champions League odds still best via Europa?

Our schedule is definitely not the easiest but we control our own destiny. I still think league is the easiest route.
Liverpool have also somewhat struggled against teams that play bunker ball and counter, which is what they are going to get from here on out. I agree that top 4 is United's easiest path to the CL.
That said...here's our schedule starting April 13th.
@ Anderlecht
Chelsea
Anderlecht
@ Burnley
@ City
Swansea
Potential Europa League SF
@ Arsenal
Potential Europa League SF
@ Tottenham
That's April 13 - May 13. 10 games in 1 month or a game every 3 days. Effing hell.

Schweinsteiger is moving to Chicago Fire on a DP contract. $4.5 million a year. He wasn't playing and he was never going to play but still wish his career at United had gone better. Injuries killed him but man he was awesome right up till about 30.
Best of luck to Schweinsteiger, hopefully I can make it out to a game to see him. When he was brought in for cheap I thought it was going to be the best deal of the transfer window. I was definitely wrong on that one.
Reports are that Jones broke a toe yesterday while training with England. And that Smalling was responsible. You couldn't make that up if you tried.

Jones must be the most injured player in the history of sport. That guy is ALWAYS hurt.

Yeah for sure - he's in the running with kompany from the baby blue
Smalling got sent home for an undisclosed injury.
John O'Brien would like a word...
Mata to likely miss rest of the season after injuring his groin. He needs surgery. Smalling and Jones both with ling term injuries. Pogba still out with a hammy. Herrera and Ibra suspended.
That's a lot of talent out much of it for an extended period of time.

Lingard and Mhki are looking sharp out there so far...just need to get on the end of one of these balls across the goalmouth
That half was garbage. Pretty sure I know how this is going to end. Come back soon Ibra. We're **** without you.

Go back to sleep. Wake up when the crowd reacts to a half decent attempt.
What is the single season record for ties at home to teams in the lower half of the table?
Opposing GKs are superhuman against us
Foster made 2-3 good saves. Let's not pretend we were anything approaching an attacking force though.
On another note: Basti had a good first game for Chicago today...A goal and the assist! Jose's an idiot. Easy backup in Man U's squad. If Ibra's not playing we have no goals
Looked like "B" team today.

Lineups are up. Its must win time from here on out.
United: De Gea, Young, Bailly, Rojo, Blind, Fellaini, Carrick (c), Lingard, Herrera, Rashford, Ibrahimovic. Substitutes: Romero, Darmian, Fosu-Mensah, Shaw, Pogba, Mkhitaryan, Martial.

already a goal down. They playing like poop again at home.
That was awful goal keeping by DDG.and awful defense of the set piece in general.
What a trash goal
And in a shocking turn, now that Everton is up a goal they have slowed the game down and dropped into 2 deep lines to absorb pressure.
for some strange reason I don't see MU getting 2 goals in one half....
The two most creative players on this team are not playing. One is hurt and one is on the pine. I dont get it.
****ing A. Pogba squares up another pipe. And a Toffee just grabbed Neil Swarbrick by the collar of his shirt and puled him back from a scrum. Thats got to be a red card. How is that not a red card???
well that's twice in a 5 minute span where a united player has been thrown down in plain view of the ref with no call
Ibra was on. Bad call
Ibra called offside on the equalizer
top 4 finish is pretty much done considering all the points they have given away at home. Europe is it for a spot in championship league and i don't see this squad winning that.
I dont like it but he was off. He was leaning inside the defender. Thats all it takes.
Agree. Even if they get this to a tie its over. Schedule is too tough after this. Europa is the only real hope barring a miracle comeback.....not sure how you can win Europa scoring less than 1 goal per game though....ja86 said:
