Probably score double digits, the way things are going.
Next 7 league fixtures - acceptable points total?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran discuss a horrific month of December and a depressing FOUR defeats in a row - the latest coming against Wolves and Newcastle.
They discuss how much blame is on Ruben Amorim and rank our squad against other Premier League teams.
Do we have any chance of avoiding defeat at Anfield?
What'll be interesting to see is whether or not we get shut out for the fourth league match in a row.
Im going to hide behind the sofa....this could get nasty
He has to compact the midfield and play defensive minded midfielders. Ugarte, casmiro..mainoo and bruno or one of the youg players for casamrio.
As the game progess he can make subsittiions for amad,Garnacho or rashford for example. Dalot and Mazrawi should be able to handle the wing players.Tryng Rashford as striker is also another option.

I feel completely justified in calling out the crazy high predictions on the first page. 1 point from 6 vs Ipswich and Wolves wrecked my own prediction.
I’d go with rashford up top. Liverpool will leave space behind their defence and he makes better runs than our other ST.
Over the next 9 league games:
Nailed on Defeats
Liverpool
Arsenal
Roll of the dice
Home - Brighton , Palace
Away - spurs , Fulham , Everton
Must win games
Southampton
Ipswich
January 16th v Southampton at home. This is looking more and more like a game we simply can’t afford to not win. The way United are playing it’s hard to see where points are going to come from, this is why Ruben has to just get points on the board.

I’ve only once turned off a United game mid match and that was 7-0. I switched it off 10 mins into the second half thinking they’ll just sit back and the game will just filter away out.
Honestly think the tv could be off by half time this Sunday.

Next stop Liverpool.....God help us!
Theyre all must win games, battles for survival in fact, and I fear the worst.
I'm still of the opinion that there's no way you will be dragged into the relegation dogfight, however, two hamerings at Anfield and the Emirates (Which on current form is certainly possible), and Ipswich or one of the other bottom three clubs get a win this weekend, Old Trafford will be very edgy for the Southampton game, and a slow start, or worse, an early Saints goal, and it could get very toxic.
Maybe a new signing before then can freshen things up, even on loan for the rest of the season.
I can only see us getting maybe 10 points from that run of games. That would leave us on 32 points with 10 games to go. Would probably take that right now. Grim.
Reading back through this thread and I couldn’t find anybody who said 3 
The fear is that real I don’t think there’s even a match day thread created yet…
If there's no match day thread, the game didn't happen.

I told everyone we were going to take the full 9 points from Bournemouth, Wolves and Newcastle.
Didn't even manage to score a goal ffs.
Spurs away is a nailed on defeat. Otherwise I agree.
If we lose at home to Southampton then I'm putting money on us getting relegated because they're the worst PL team in a very long time. Honestly if they inflict a 6th consecutive defeat on us then we're done. Won't happen though.
Imagine saying not only would we get just 3 points, but they’d come from a win at the Eithad. You’d have got mad odds on that when this thread opened.
With only one left of the 7 league fixtures, from the OP

We're getting battered on Sunday. Can't see anything else. Thrown to the lions.
We're going to get 3 points from these games aren't we? Absolutely poor, and no excuses for it, new system or not.
