The Title Race 2022/23

[Corky]

Everton look decent, Brighton look gone, was the other way around a day ago, and we still play them both.

They used up all their luck in one game...

 

[citytill1die84]

Surely not! ;-)

We must have got into a spat?

Apologies if I did.

Yes, we’re already playing the 90 minutes + injury time out in our minds.

It's all good mate I have spats with loads on here lol

All about opinions tho I guess.

Hoping this is the best 5 weeks of my life, come on City.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

We need full strength against Everton, 3 massive points for us if we win.

I disagree. As important as the Everton game is both Madrid games is where we need full strength sides. With us having a game in hand and 1 point ahead of Arsenal, plus a much better GD i think we'll have enough to hold them off. We cannot afford to take RM lightly and must go full strength against them.

Don’t mind that result tbh, it means you’d expect some sort of reaction from Brighton when they go to Arsenal - and if it means Everton feel confident enough to play a bit of football against us, fantastic, we’ll pick them off for fun.

 

[searsleftpeg]

My hope,like most I suppose, was for Everton to be hammered ,with the fans turning against the team, and Brighton really being up for their game against Arsenal ,but now, who's to know how this will pan out.If it wasn't obvious how Dyche would set up before it is now and we should be really alive to the breakaway.
Brighton hopefully put on a better show against Arsenal.

 

[Blue warrior]

Just our luck that both Chelsea and Everton have both got victories and no doubt a little confidence for their cup finals the game raising cunts!

 

[HelloCity]

OMG Forest beating Southampton! No way Arsenal can win there now. Going to be such a tough game since Forest are winning a football match.

Sorry, just fitting in ;)

 

[chris85mcfc]

Has anyone mentioned that Forest might give Arsenal a game after watching the first half?

Thought not.

Difficult to know if the Everton result has made it harder for us but the way I see it. FACT : Everton really have to win. That means they will have to play a more open game against us to get anything. That of course could well play into our hands.We wll have more space to do the business so Im looking at it in a positive way.

Even if Everton has to win. They'll still play us the same way. They are not stupid enough to think attacking us openly is the way to get a win.

They don’t have to win really a point and the worse it would be is level on points with Leeds/Leicester if they win and then games against Wolves & Bournemouth

 

[Legal Alien]

Think this result helps us. Dyche would have looked at remaining games and targeted their games against Wolves and Bournemouth as where they would have picked points up. Anything against Brighton and us would have been a bonus but now the pressure on them to get even a point against us been diluted somewhat. Their fans think think they have done enough already to stay up, we score first on Sunday we win comfortably but their fans won’t be as pissed as they know they have two easier games to follow. 35 points might be enough to stay up this year, fat Sam reckoned 34 would see Leeds stay up!

Yeah i agree with that.
I think this was a great result for us.
They are not as desperate now and they know that dirty leeds, Leicester and Forest have tough games next weekend too.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

It’s a free hit for them next weekend. The probably need to win one out of their two last games. Looking at Leeds and Leicesters fixtures, they may not even need another win.

 

[the blue panther]

Everton hit a bit of form right before they play us

Or look at it another way, Brighton aren't all they're cracked up to be.

Everton aren't so desperate for a point against us now - they've got Wolves then Bournemouth in their last 2 games.

Brighton have demonstrated in the last month that they are well-overrated. God knows which version of them will turn up at Arsenal on Sunday, but, I suspect the gunners'll get another walkover.

 

[awest]

I reckon we will win all remaining 8 games.

 

[MadchesterCity]

I reckon we will win all remaining 8 games.

I like you

 

[goalmole]

I reckon we will win all remaining 8 games.

That's the spirit!

 

[deano ou812]

I reckon we will win all remaining 8 games.

Fair play mate my mindset is we are going to lose them all ffs,unfortunately I’ve been scarred from supporting us all those years ago ..

 

[adr2.8i]

I reckon we will win all remaining 8 games.

I can tell your not a boomer like most of us on here!!

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

You can drive yourself mental looking at fixture lists.

We, at most, need 8 points from 12 (top four form). Win on Sunday and it's 5 from 9 (mid-table form). Win again and it's 2 from 6 (relegation battle form).

Then look at our players, our manager, our staff.

 

[johnnytapia]

How often do you see it happen a team gets a hiding then next game the pull off a great result and vice Verda a team pulls off a great result then does shite next game

That Everton result there is perfect for us

Vice Verda: especially nice when drizzled on chorizo
