The Title Race - 2021/22

As I've said on another post I'll be shocked if we get 9 points out of our next 3 games

I'll be shocked if we get 8.
Any other between 0 and 9 wouldn't surprise me.

Liverpools games after they play us are far tougher than their next 6 games.

We have to continue to have a good run prior to playing Liverpool and not give them the faintest whiff of a chance before we play them.

Arsenal v Liverpool game postponed due to Carabao Cup final now confirmed for Wednesday 16th March.
That's the midweek after the dippers are away at Brighton and before the FA Cup sixth round - assuming they get past Norwich; if they don't, they’re at home to the rags that weekend.

The simple fact is the Dippers are banking on coming to the Etihad and winning they even appear very confident , but ive watched them a couple of times this season and their defence can be torn to shreds by average opposition, we proved at Klanfield this season that we are capable of tearing them a new arsehole .We controlled the first half and let them back into the game , can't see that happening at the Etihad and their recent record isnt that great.
If we beat them at home that is a big six pointer and will mean anything above ninety points wins the title.

they will drop points. sooner or later.

they will drop points. sooner or later.

You know what I don’t think they will, I think by the time they meet us they wi he level, winner of that game will go onto win it.

Just can't see them dropping any points, got nasty feeling they are not only catch us but leave us trailing, hope I'm completely wrong of course

 

[kismet]

Got to win the next games before Liverpool now

 

[Cobwebcat]

We’ll City blinked but strangely it’s not dropped as much as I thought.

77% to 23% now.

they will destroy utd and leeds

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Think we are going to have to beat them big time tbh

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

That draw at Southampton looked a minor slip up at the time, looks damaging now

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Everton away is tricky too

 

[Indaparkside]

Everton away is tricky too

They really are shite

 

[hateutd]

Not so optimistic after tonight's game.... :(

All games in the Prem are potentially tricky and if your standards slip, you can pay the price, as we did today. Liverpool will drop some points but so will we. Pep wasn’t happy with the performance of some players on Tuesday and he was right. We gave the ball away too often and then 5 days later we do it again but this time against a side with better forwards.

Everton away, United home, palace away, West Ham away, villa home, Liverpool home, Burnley away, Brighton home . Still plenty of banana skins to come the people who said it was over where so naive. It was never a big gap it just seemed that way due to the games in hand Liverpool had.

All the momentum is with them but it can all change again quickly. Next week is a huge game and despite evertons position it will be extremely tough

Hope those who were posting in early January (!) that the league was done have learnt their lesson. It's not done until its done. How many times should it be repeated? It's football, everything can happen.

We still are more likely to win the title than Liverpool, but the game in April may turn out to be more crucial than we hoped initially, and it will be between the 1st and the 2nd leg of the CL quarters, which will make it even more difficult...Our squad is a bit thin when 2-3 senior players get injured.

You can bet your money they will be Tues/Wed and us Wed/Tues.

If they win the league then it will take a really good run and probably need to beat us. If they do that then not much can say. We have been exceptional recently results wise until today but so have they all season bar their bad patch in December. It will be nip and tuck for me. We need to ensure today was a one off though. They have a lot of home games coming up and they usually win those.
