The Title Race - 2021/22

This is far from done. Let's assume Liverpool win their game in hand, it's against Leeds afterall. takes it back to 8 points, if we were to lose against Chelsea next and Liverpool win which isn't entirely inconceivable and its down to 5.

The Chelsea match is huge, beat them to guarantee we at least maintain the gap whilst also having one fewer chance to drop points against the better sides and it looks significantly better. We then get a relatively light January whilst Liverpool have cup games for the first time in a while and no mane or Salah. It may not hurt them in the league but a few loses will be a Psychological blow and show them how heavily they rely on Salah.

Tuchel, City are lucky. Cock end!
Anybody got 606 on, scouser saying there's too much of a city love in around, the daft twat couldn't be further from the truth, lol

I wonder what that does to your CL aspirations. Being on the beach so early in the season is quite an interesting situation to navigate.

Arguably that contributed to our defeat to Chelsea in last year’s final. From the moment we lost the fa cup semi we lost our intensity.

It’s already over, but beat Chelsea in 2 weeks time and let AFCON sort out Liverpool and we’ll be relaxing on the beach by February, able to rest players for the Cup and CL.

Do you actually bloody think that?

I'd rather you were just almighty bravado posturing than actually believed it.

More than Liverpool and Chelsea.

96 at the moment.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

I think we only need to get another 33 points, as long as six come against Chelsea and Liverlilies.
