After the adrenaline high from THAT goal and the win from yesterday, the sobering reality set in: we are coming toward the final third of our league schedule. In race terms, we’re turning the corner and heading down that last stretch.
Looking at what we have to face before we cross that finish line on May 22nd, there definitely seems to be some .
1.12 league games to play. 4 out of those 12 are against Chelsea (x2), Liverpool and Arsenal. 3 out of those 4 are away from home.
2.7 out of our remaining 12 league games are away from home. We have only won 3 out of our 12 away games thus far for a very unimpressive 25% win percentage.
3.Our goal difference away from home is +2. Our closest competitors (Arsenal and City) boast an away goal difference of +12 and +8 respectively.
4.Arsenal, who are in the best position to leapfrog us, have 6 home and 6 away games left on their schedule. Their toughest fixtures out of those 12 are against us and Liverpool. Both of those games are taking place at the Emirates.
I’m not saying that we can’t win the title. But we obviously need to pick up our away form especially since we know the quality of performance this team is capable of when playing at OT. 
SAF has challenged his front 2 to start scoring away from home where the goals just seem to be in short supply. In his own words: “I have to say, what I need to get out of Wayne and Berbatov are performances away from home that are as good as they are at home.”
I hate to be a party pooper after all the excitement from yesterday’s derby win. It was a fantastic overall performance by the team, but it was also at home where we’ve generally been unstoppable this year.
Unfortunately, we can’t play every game at Old Trafford.
