Grinding results is what this time of year is all about and who does it best will be champions.Hard to say. They're susceptible to pace behind their full backs, Liverpool have just been grinding out results of late so they aren't setting the world on fire, they're just getting wins. Arsenal will push them with their pace out wide.
The run home is equally as tough for us and them. There's no easy games, we should've won but didn't, it happens
It's not all room & gloom, it's still in our hands, and that's all we can ask for at this stage of the season.
If Pep was always right, we would have won the champs league last year.What aren’t you getting about that? If we’d have made a change, I don’t think we’d have created the chances in the first place, so the call Pep had to make was what was more likely, players start finishing the chances (some of which were on a plate) or risk making a change that might mean not even making the chance in the first place.
Sterling wouldn’t have helped as there was no space for him. Jesus instead of Foden maybe but then he was still creating space for others. The only change I thought really worth thinking about was Gundogan for Bernardo but given he was getting into the right positions, better to keep him on and he should have scored that chance he got in the last ten mins.
Change the question and ask yourself given what you think about it, why did pep not make a change? As he’ll be making his decision based on a lot more knowledge than you or I.
Of course it is. We've done it before during title run homes and I'm confident we will do it again.Grinding results is what this time of year is all about and who does it best will be champions.
We have lost a lot of urgency and focus since a brilliant December, unless we get that back we may struggle to retain the title.
We have lost momentum and focus , that's my worry, we seem to be far better when under pressure and playing 3 big games a week, we have had a lot of stop/start periods since Christmas and we have not looked anywhere near as focused and intense as the end of last year.Of course it is. We've done it before during title run homes and I'm confident we will do it again.
I'll back our players and Pep in over the run home.
If Liverpool jump us then my confidence may waver, but it's still in our hands and that gives me the confidence we'll see it through.
I'll add it's not the Liverpool game that worries me most on our run home, it's the West Ham & Wolves away that worry me more. We've tended this season to take points of the big clubs, it's been Spurs, Palace & Southampton twice outside of the Anfield game we should've won where we've dropped costly points.
Not good tbh. Neck and neck again like 3 seasons ago but the big difference is that we haven’t got that same mentality as with konoany silva kun and ferdy . Not buying a striker will be our undoing I’m afraid as we can’t break teans down who sit back . Wouldn’t bet against Liverpool doing the sweep atm .
8 but agreedIts not though is it. They had games in hand which they won, we have only ever been 6 points ahead.
