Manchester Utd STILL haven't scored away to a top-6 team this season & are the ONLY Premier League team with 0 goals away against the top-6.

It also extends to 2015/2016 season as well with Mourinho.  He played 2 away games against Big 6 teams before he was sacked by Chelsea -  0-3 at City and 0-0 at Spurs.

Neville and Carragher featured it last night on MNF  with the 6-3-1 formation.

Still more points than Arsenal though?

Play to win at home and not to lose away is always going to be Mourinho's tactic unless he absolutely has to win.

Small sample size of 2 seasons in the PL (but several seasons in the CL) but Full Jose negative mode against the bigger sides doesn't appear to be as successful as it once was.

The point for me tho is that it is just awful to watch and this is Manchester United we are talking about. May it continue Smiley

Chelsea lost 3-0 away to Arsenal, 2-0 away to Spurs, 2-0 away to United and 1-1 with Liverpool, all while having 6 shots on target. In 4 games. Don't think Conte has cracked playing the "big boys" away from home yet. No ones arsed if your turning over the dross of the league though, which Chelsea have done very well this season. United turn even 3/4 of the 11 draws they should have won this season and they're in a title race. Fact is they haven't finished their chances from day 1, that's why their 5th, Chelsea have been ruthless and are going to win the league.

No team has cracked the Big6 away games this season except Liverpool:

Liverpool 9 points    9-7
City 4 points           5-8
Chelsea 4 points      4-9
Spurs 2 points         4-8
United 2 points        0-6
Arsenal 1 point        4-11

The column on the right is goals for and against. 1 game to go for United of course
and a very tiny sample size but still very revealing IMO. You didn’t score against Chelsea in the cup as well.

Pragmatism is one thing but Jose at times takes it to extremes against the better sides. I hate it.  No rules against it but if you want to defend him good for you.

As for United not talking their chances go and have a look at xG, xGA and xGD data which is a better indicator of the quality of chances for and against. As of about a week ago United were 3rd for both xG and xGA suggesting underlying performance merits a higher position than 6th. This is an improvement from a couple of months ago (when United already had 7 home draws on the board) and  were then 5th for xG.

Currently on a massive 24 home league goals, if United score 1 goal or less in their last home league game against Palace it will be their lowest home league tally since the relegation season over 40 years ago in 1974.  Pretty impressive for the most expensive squad assembled in the history of Europe's top 5 leagues - €718m (not including fees paid to Pogba's agent).

TBF they have missed a few chances.

Banter United

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. He's missed an open goal already, John Guidetti.

I bet he can't wait to play under Mourinho's unique, expansive, free flowing attacking football philosophy.

TBF to Jose there are 4 teams who have scored less at home in the league this season. Still the theatre of dreams for me.

Man Utd over the last 3 years have spent £450m on transfers.

FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION POUNDS.




FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION POUNDS.



One, two, three, four...FOUR! AND... 50!!! another 50 million on top of the 400 (yes, FOUR HUNDRED) already spent.

Picture £1...then times it by 450 MILLION, thats how much they spent.

Might be about to land the EUROPA LEAGUE though, so all money well spent Smiley

Fascinating press conference by Mourinho after the 2-0 defeat of Crystal Palace.
