Doesn't it surprise you that given the state of our defence we are up there? Now imagine with the defence better. A good team grinds results.
Your injury situation is not any different from Arsenal's, kwanza sisi we've had to deal with mid-week CL fixtures. You cannot keep using injuries as an excuse because i doubt they'll be a spell when all your players will be fully fit.....Evans is back but sasa Smalling is injured.
Anyway like i said a few weeks back, your problems are not limited to the defense. At the start of the season you had what was arguably the best strike force in the league but so far your attacking players haven't quite lived up to the hype. If you look at a team like Barca, their defense is just pathetic but you hardly notice due to threat of their attacking players....same goes for Bayern.
I totally agree with the fact that a good team grinds results when they are not playing well but that should not be a common feature at a team like Man Utd that spent 150m on players. You need to kill off your opponents, something which LVG has already admitted. This also applies to my team Arsenal.
