The Title Race 2022/23

That Forest game was costly make no bones about it.

Hopefully it won't be too costly, could say the same for arsenal drawing with Liverpool West ham and Southampton from being goals up could be costly.

Ray.

Arsenal have dropped 9 points in the last 4 games.

That puts our 2 points dropped at Forest into comparison.

 

[jimharri]

Not if City win 6..draw 1... Lose 1 or are my maths rubbish?

Slightly! Arsenal can get to 90 pts. We're on 76 at the moment. So five wins will do it for us. Or 4 wins and two draws, though we'd be relying on GD in that scenario. Also, we've only got 6 games left.

;-)

Er I’ll let you work that out?

Yes as pointed out I meant 4 wins out of 6 but don't think they will narrow the goal difference

 

[DMA's]

The difference was we had just done the hard bit vs Arsenal when we dropped 2 points against Nottingham Forest. If we had won that we would have been in a much comfortable position.

Arsenal could say the same about southampton, Liverpool and West Ham games. If they didn’t toss away the lead and ramsdale pass straight to a saints player they could have come to the Etihad needing a draw which would have changed the game drastically. Every team has had moments that have cost them points. No team is perfect

 

[Pollocks OG]

Cue all the panic merchants because Arsenal won a game they were always going to win.(and won their first game on 5 matches)

Relax everybody.

True but it would of given us a bit more wriggle room if we had beaten Forest. It did give us a bit of a wake up call in taking our chances despite the performance levels in that game .

 

[Manchester_lalala]

We will be 4 points clear by the time they next play

I wouldn’t want to tempt fate, anything can happen in the next two games. Yeah, we’re heavy favourites, but all it takes is a few missed chances and a sucker punch.

Said that, if we go win the next two, I think it will be over as I can’t see Newcastle losing on Sunday. If they win, top four is pretty much guaranteed. Hopefully it’s a nice sunny Sunday afternoon for the geordies to be loud as fuck.

Sky doing their best to breath life into the old whore….we on the other hand just need to stick to the plan, as pep said, next 2 games are key…

 

[citydad]

People still taking about the forest game lmao ..

We’ve won every game since then and they’ve dropped 9pts ffs

Played better at forest than Fulham, I came out of forest game and some of their fans said they couldn't remember seeing a better team than us at the City ground.

Exactly

If we cock up we cock up but I don't think we will.

 

[DMA's]

Controversial opinion but I don’t think we get 90 points from here. With the games coming so close to each other, the lure of the champions league and our small squad I just don’t see how we do it. IF Arsenal win their next 4 they will win the league imo.

 

[bluesince76]

True but it would of given us a bit more wriggle room if we had beaten Forest. It did give us a bit of a wake up call in taking our chances despite the performance levels in that game .

And even more if we'd beaten Everton at home. And got at least a point at home to Brentford.

And if my auntie had balls...

They won't

Everton at home was just as bad. Spurs away wasn’t much better, Brentford deserved their win. Liverpool away 1 mistake. United away, robbed!

 

[MCFC1993]

Were we at 90% or 93% before that Arsenal-Chelsea game?

Can't remember.

Either way the line barely move.

 

[Half Time Draw]

Still in our hands. If Arsenal would have beat Southampton and drew with Chelsea then the reaction on here wouldn’t be half as bad.

The fact they have beat a very poor Chelsea team isn’t a surprise. We win the next two and the pressure is right on them at an inform Newcastle.

Let’s trust Pep and the boys to do what the do best and win championships.

United was daylight robbery sanctioned by the premier league.

I never thought Chelsea were going to get anything tonight. Anyone who'd watched their last 6 or 7 games would have had low expectations for tonight. Has to be said, though; there seemed to be a few who were confident that Chelsea would get something. Newcastle and Brighton should give Arsenal tougher tests.
