Fixtures over the next 30 days

I'm not really confident about these next two fixtures. Not that Palace or WBA are flying at the moment, it's more that we can't just finish all our chances properly and away from home it's mandatory to be clinical.

We were good and solid in our last away matches, but we conceded silly goals, so I'm just afraid of the same against these teams that won't sat and wait us. They all know that they can hurt us so that will be very difficult.

Palace A --> Draw
West Brom --> Draw
Sunderland H --> Win
Boro H --> Win
West Ham A --> Draw

Bravo for having confidence in the lads.

Sadly, the other top 6 sides have played well over the past month as well.

We've still gained 6 points on City, 4 on Liverpool and at least 6 on Arsenal and 3 on Spurs, depending on how they do in their games in hand. Very pleasing run.
 
Couple of very winnable cup games next at OT to keep things going. Should be going into the Liverpool game 9 wins in a row.
 
13 points would've been a good return from those, 15 is brilliant. 3 incredibly tricky away games and winning them all is huge in terms of top 4 hopes.

Brilliant run and it's been awesome how we have snuck up on the top 5. Everyone is starting to hate us again
 
All those wins. It wouldn't be possible without Raoul and his thread. :)

We want more!
 
Wish the Liverpool game was next week, its annoying that we are going to be a bit disrupted now. Hopefully it won't matter too much, playing Liverpool at the right time too. That game is massive for us.

I think its better theres a bit of a break in the league until the Liverpool game. Our main players need a break after such a hectic schedule. And luckily enough we have two home games against two weaker sides so we can rotate a bit. I expect us to be raring to go by the time the Liverpool game comes up
 
Amazing. I thought we'd get 15 but never thought we'd get 18!

nice one.

15. If we overhaul the scousers this month, think we can go on to actually challenge Chelsea for the title.

Agreed. Our league fixtures over the next two months are relatively winnable leading up to City on Feb 26th.

Just went over the fixtures. The key one is Liverpool. We win that, we will be close. Chelsea wil eventually have a wobble. Not sure if we will bring any players in, but we have a squad now that can get the job done.

Was proud of how much our players grafted. Thought they looked more tired than West Ham.

Mourinho has built a strong mentality.

Players playing through pain. For the supporters.

I see the old Manchester United emerging.
 
Across all competitions, in the last 7 games we've won all of them, scored 14 and conceded 3. Solid form that.
 
Great form, and still pleasing performances, in the most. Good attacking football, good squad bonding.. Going back a couple of months I would have really struggled to imagine i'd feel this positive going into the second half of the season.
 
I honestly think we could possibly go unbeaten for the remainder of the season. I would fancy us against any team right now, and a draw at worst.

If injuries and suspensions are kind to us, we will go far. We're definitely on to something, Mourinho has done a brilliant job. I can't think of a player in our squad who I can say is playing poorly at the moment, one by one, Jose seems to have turned all the poor form around. Maybe Smalling, but the sample since his return from injury is too small.

These are our remaining PL fixtures - feel free to copy and paste from here until the end of the season. I've predicted the next 5 games, fell short at the City game due to being too far away to predict their form.

As much as I would like to stomp on Liverpool, I can see their slick attack cutting through us and likewise with us against their porous defence. Stoke away will be tricky, they blow hot and cold and inevitably they'll blow hot with us, looked fairly solid against Watford this evening so aiming for a draw (but would love a cheeky win obviously).

The rest are very winnable, especially if we keep this form up and avoid any major injuries. We're in a fortunate position where we have Liverpool on 15th Jan, Man City 26th Feb, then Chelsea 15th April - good spacing between the top teams to get a bit of form going. Bit congested toward the end but happy to see how things go up until then.
 
Looking at those next 5 league fixtures, minimum of 13 points please. Beat everyone but Liverpool and draw with them, although I fancy our chances against them much more than I did earlier this season.

Revenge against Stoke and Watford for taking points off us earlier this season. Leicester are dross and Hull are no better.
