If we continue to play the well coordinated, attacking football, and if we can up the goal tally, then we have a chance of top 4 and maybe that increased goal tally will happen when Suarez come's back in for Aspas. I think we'll be more potent then up front. However if we do get top 4 it'll be one hell of an acheivement by Brendan Rodgers, given the lack of funding, not to mention the smoke and mirrors around our so called efforts to sign quality players.

We've an honest squad (bar Suarez) who are now capable, hungry, growing in confidence and team belief. Couple that with no European tiredness issues and a work rate that is second to none. Rogers appears to have his play tied down and he was right with his open admission it was a big learning curve first season. He has learnt and we are seeing a man who adapts his game play with each and every team we encounter. I could almost flirt with the idea EMP. It will be nice just to see how far we run. If preparation for every team we come up against is as meticulous, and these guys start to believe every word he says we should really take some beating. A lot may depend how easily the new defenders slot in and rotate with Agger and Toure I guess. At the moment let's just feel smug being at the right end of the table eh

Top 4 - we do not have an honest squad. For the first time in years I saw liverpool bully united and really disrupt them. They were kicking the ball away, getting silly bookings and in RVPs case generally losing control. Gerrard and Lucas were in the refs ear all game and finally we showed some edge to our play. Nice teams finish second, winners win at all costs. The players look together but also look like winners. The mental shift is as important as the quality of play. At no point during the game did united get at us, if this can be nurtured throughout the squad then a real team is in the making.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool make up the top 3. Arsenal are leaky but I think they have the ability to put 5 past any team in the league. I think Aston Villa might actually finish higher than united on the table. I hope they do. City and spurs battling for 4th and 5th, Villa and united for 6th and 7th. Bold statement? YES.
Watch it happen!

I think Uniteds defence and RVP will carry them past most teams in the league this year. I think they will probably finish 3rd or 4th but if Vidic or RVP get injured for a significant amount of time, I could see them fall out of the top 4

jesus we have played stoke and villa two games we should expect to win. and a poor UTD side. Uts won the title last season becuase everyone around them were crap, we havent become title challengers over night and Utd havent become relegation fodder over night.
just keep quiet with your child like predictions and enjoy it for once.
chelsea have also be crap this season, this season being 2-3 games old

I think Chelsea has it this year. Jose knew what he was doing with that draw. I have a feeling the old fox knew what was coming here. They'll pass us, and city too, I think. Top pedigree managers and too much talent. If we play our cards right though, I can see us making 3rd.
I agree with EMP's assessment of Arsenal. Ozil is a great player, but he isn't what they needed at all. Spurs will be dangerous if their signings come off and soon, but if they take too long to click, it will cost them. And United, well, they signed Fellani, but I think they'll be in a hard place very soon if they don't put some points on the board and soon. Moyes clearly doesn't understand how to use that squad.
