They are light years away from being title contenders 25 points don't lie

All the other big English sides have better players than them

 

Chelsea were 31 points behind last year M9.

Is that the most embarrasing treble of all time? A Charity Shield, mickey mouse league cup and europes second tournament. I suppose the Man utd fans wont be giving a f**k though

It's the Champions League group place that matters - if that had not been available they would have given even less of a fekk about the tournament.

I'd consider, given recent seasons, that two trophies and a place in the CL proper is a step in the right direction.

Come on.....how can you claim the Charity Shield as a 'trophy' with a straight face?

They're not a million miles away as a team from being able to challenge in the PL either. Obviously defensive additions are needed, and perhaps most essentially a quality wide/ final third option instead of Mata who is too one-footed and just being shunted out wide to accomodate a superior number 10.

Doesn't take too much to turn home draws against bottom half dross into wins and shoot up the table, and this result will certainly help no end. Could be quite a turning point.

I remember reading this article a month or so back and it basically quantifies what you've said.

Worth noting that Utd also rate highly in a lot of analysts' expected goals models, but again it's the poor finishing that's killing them.

The charity shield is a friendly. What next, counting the Emirates cup? God I hate Man Utd.

Out of interest, would you consider the European Super Cup at trophy?

So does this mean Lolverpool still get in the Chumpions League? I thought there were strict rules on a maximum of 4 entries from one country?
