How many points will be needed to win the league? (74 GD)

[paulchapo]

Same goes for that hippie that ran on the pitch to tell the players that Palace were winning!

Ha ha I was at that game, good on him. Apparently he said to Lakey he used to play football with him as a kid.

Walker has absolutely been first choice for the majority of the year. Gundo and Foden played very little. We rested 7 players, don't act like we didn't just to be a smartarse

Smartarse? Ffs. Aha sure.

My point is valid and I stand by it. Apart from Ake, Torres and Mendy, everyone that played was a regular through our winning run. The players not to feature were dias, kev, maheez and rodri. We average 5 changes a game, this was 7.

It was hardly the fucking c-list run-out everyone is moaning about. We lost a game of football, couple sucker punch goals. It happens, could have happened im that manner with one or two of the 4 players left out on as a well. I'm glad they got rested, but it wasn't like Pep deliberately threw the game, there was still enough there and on another day we could have won it.


And Walker started way fewer games than cancelo in our run btw.

Am I the only one who is worried about losing the title ?

Yep

Very unlikely

So we have a CL quarter final and FA Cup semi in the space of 72 hours. Potentially extra time in both. Even without the side at Villa is going to show a number of changes (again) especially with CC on the Sunday. As we saw yesterday the back up forwards aren't really firing.

We don’t have any forwards

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

We could throw it away by making changes for the cup games, if we play all our remaining games with the players you've mentioned we wouldn't have a problem

Place your head between your knees
Take a deep breath

And keep the faith

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a few last minute nerves... If Pep has considered the risks then surely we will not make a similar mistake twice...

So by the time we play our next league match, the gap could be eight points, with united playing Burnley next week, while we play Chelsea in the FA cup SF

Thanks for pointing that out.

Christ some of this makes RAWK look sane..ish

now that is a fucking ridiculous statement !

 

[Gundog’s Gundog]

It’s normal to worry but the facts are that in our last 20 league games we’ve lost once to our bogey team and once in a freak result while fielding as weak a team as we’ve done all season. We aren’t suddenly going to start dropping points willy nilly.

WHY

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Wrong. On two counts

Stop being picky he was nearly right

I would expect strong for Dortmund then 4/5 changes for the Semi final then a strong side for Villa then 3/4 changes for the final. What I don’t think will happen is that we will see Mendy, Ake or Torres in any of those games and Zinchenko won’t be in midfield.

Ake, Torres and Mendy won’t be seen again until the title is won unless injuries force his hand.

Wrong post I was replying to.

Ignore and carry on.

The gap between us and united is irrelevant, we still need 11 points. Yes they'll likely drop points and that goes down but we will be looking at it presuming united get full points until the end of the season.

We're in good form, yesterday was a calculated gamble, a freebie, it didn't come off, fine, you can be sure Pep won't do it again now until the league is mathematically won.

Pep will stick with his core players now until there's a meaningless game, the likes of torres and sterling had their opportunity to force their way into Peps core for the run in and blew it big time.

Ederson, walker. Cancelo, zinchenko, stones, laporte, dias, Fernandinho, Rodri, gundogan, Bernardo, kdb, foden, mahrez and jesus is all we will see unless injuries dictate otherwise, the rest will be used to rest that group, if Sergio gets fit he may get a role too.

We will get the job done with those there's no way that group slippy G this now, too many strong personalities that simply will not allow it.

 

[middlewichblue]

If Pep had started the strongest 11 and half got injured for Dortmund, I'd dread to think of the amount of fanny wipes required in here and the amount of people calling for his head.

The leagues done , pep knows it.

Trust the process.

Sterling will still get game time. Mendy, Ake and Torres won’t. I doubt Aguero will either until the end of the season if we are past the post.
