The Title Race - 2021/22

[Damanino]

We need these fuckers to start dropping points, but hard to see who will stand up to them. Cant see it being Leeds, WHU in their next two, especially both at Klanfield.

Hoped Inter can make the CL tie at least somewhat tricky, but its pretty easy for them now.

We need to keep the current gap while we play Everton away, United home. 6 points or we are in bit of a trouble and lots of added pressure of letting a bit of lead go.

All i keep hearing from Liverpool fans in work is " we're favourites now" wtf are these cunts on about ???

It's the dream position for Liverpool fans to be in right now. It really massages their egos of being the littlest, pluckiest underdogs while also being the greatest and bestest and biggest football club to have ever existed. They're both favourites and not favourites. Second, but deep down everyone knows second is basically as good as first. Definitely going to win the lot, and if they don't they definitely won the moral victory.

Though it says a lot about the mentalities of the two clubs that most City fans think they are favourites as well, when by no reasonable measure could you say as much.

I do believe they're favourites too. They are on a run and look full of themselves. I cant see them losing any in the run in.

They have a better run in
They're getting the luck (and the refs decisions)
City have bogey teams, they dont
Theyve got quite a good sqad now, no relying on 11 players

I do think we got it tough but Pep is the game changer. Lets see.

We just need to hold our nerve. Pick up our 3 points for the next 5 games, Everton, Utd. Palace, Brighton and Burnley all doable and beat Liverpool in April. That will put us 6 points clear with 6 games to play

9, and they'll have the game in hand against Arsenal (Date TBC)

I am summising that they win their games in hand.

Yeah, Arsenal are a bipolar team for me at the min, play some great stuff, make some stupid mistakes.

9 on the board and walking away from the game with us with nothing will be a great booster for the last run-in.

Their game at Arsenal has already been rearranged for 16th March. It will be equal games played when we come to play Liverpool, assuming we match each other's results in the FA Cup next week

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

That game against lfc is hotting up to be a decider. I hope our players are prepared to battle dirty, pushing their players into the hoardings to injure them, our fans throwing bottles at their bus.....

Or shall we just beat them on the pitch!

oh nice, should have checked,

so they have Leeds, West Ham, Brighton, Arsenal, United & Watford in the next 6 before us.

We've got Everton, United, Palace, Brighton & Burnley.

Lol, there is no way you can rationally believe they are favourites. Every single Liverpool fan would swap their position with ours right now.

It's a big ask

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Our next three games aren't a given. The Everton game will be very hostile they'll be full on up for it with a threat of relegation possible.
The rags won't be easy, we know what there like, how often do they get out played then score a couple of stuffy goals. Not too mention the ref. and VAR.
Palace beat us 0-2 in October and Vieira wont do us any favours.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Saturday is a huge game no matter what the score is tonight

Do you think we can do what we did the other year when we matched them win for win till the end of the season because I think that is what will be needed .

My opinion no because we haven’t got VK and VK was the glue in that 14 game win.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

I reckon we can only afford to drop another 5 points. Providing we beat them at the Etihad.

They are looking fitter than us. They don't play the better football but they are direct and ruthless going forward.

 

[I'm Blue]

Still in our hands, let’s hope it stays that way.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Same GD at the moment

 

[chaddblue]

Same GD at the moment

They’re +1 on us

I agree mate. We need John stones back with Dias at the back
