Looking at the season so far we're probably at least as well off as anyone would have expected with 4 of the first 8 fixtures against Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and City. We have lost 3 times. We were arguably the better team against Arsenal, and if Bruno puts the PK away against Brentford and their defender had been red carded, as he should have been, that defeat may never have happened. We got taken to the cleaners by Haaland and Doku for the loss that had no +ve lining.
Yesterday we finally got some luck. It's a vital ingredient. Liverpool hit the woodwork 3X and Gakpo missed a sitter, but we also might have scored more. People are making excuses for Liverpool's new players suggesting that they need time to settle. I won't get into that debate, but the same can be said at United. We have a brand new forward line, we have Bruno playing further back, and we have a new goalkeeper. Even Mount can be regarded as a a new player given his injuries. We are creating opportunities. After yesterday there has to be some guarded optimism. Hopefully those of us who have been drifting into or were firmly in the Amorim out/ can't win with this system camp, will be proved wrong.
There is no substitute for confidence, particularly in front of goal. I'd like to see Cunha finally score. He needs to break that duck. When that happens I think we will start to see this group begin the process of bringing United back to the top table. We're only 3 points off City in 2nd, we have a light schedule, there's no excuse for fatigue and, what's most important is that there seems to a real sense of team spirit.
Well done the manager for picking the right team and ignoring the opprobrium of many of the pre-match punters on this site!
Luck, confidence, team spirit/ togetherness and graft. We need all of those. It was a great win against a Liverpool side maybe short of some of those qualities at the moment, but it's the next game that counts. The coach's muted excitement after the game shows he gets it. We can but hope the players get it too and we're not going to follow it up - as we have been won't to do - with a lacklustre display.

Id say lots of ups and downs to come for us this season.
I wouldn't predict where we will finish. Much depends on a good Jan window.
Not over reacting to any win or loss is the way this season imo.
We are making progress i think that's what everybody here wanted. Its a much more competitive league this year. A couple of wins on the spin will move you up hald a dozen places a couple of defeats on the bounce could move you down 6 places.
Its a time to support the club. Not any individual.
If united do go on a good run just watch ill bet you amorim becomes the media darling.
So many swayed by what they read and see from pundits who are often badly failed managers.
Our fans give out about players being filled there when they are more fickle themselves.
People post on here and they are more up and down than bonnie blues underware. ?.

Am I missing something, I'm pretty sure we won against Chelsea and Liverpool, so that's 2 wins and 2 losses in those four games against the top four. Of which we probably deserved to win against Arsenal.

At this point I think she just leaves them down.

The games thought we would win we didn’t, the games we did win, we probably didn’t expect to.
