Happy to be still in the mix

Don’t we all play Spurs ? Just checked, we play em first, we win that and it puts massive pressure on the other two plus Spurs

If we get to fa cup semi final that game is pushed back, they both could’ve played Spurs before we do, the deeper we all go in all comps the swtt it as comes into it, Liverpool have not crumbled despite their injuries, if Arsenal pick up some to key players that could be telling.

Mourinho's 2nd chelsea were in the race for a while in 2014 were they not?

Yes, somebody already put me right about that.

Looking back at the results to refresh my memory, they lost at home to Sunderland the week before the Demba Ba game, which more or less finished them off.

The win at Anfield gave them a bit of renewed hope but they drew the next one at home to Norwich and that was that.

Next period for Liverpool looks easier, need to stay in touch.

That's the key. Stay in touch and we are likely to overcome them in April and May.

I haven’t followed this thread at all so apologies if already discussed.

But I was thinking earlier that I can not ever remember a genuine three horse race for the title. Not necessarily one that goes to the very last game. But one with all three in with a serious shout, right up until at least the last two or three games.

I go back to the mid/late 70s and can’t remember one.

Anyone recall one?

We need to build this Arsenal game, it’s potentially a season defining game, and it needs to be an absolute bear pit. There’s a lot of time between now & then, and I’d like the club & supporter groups to really push it. Last season we bullied them on & off the pitch, we were angry, and we need some of that for this game

BEDLAM.....its our duty !!

I don't care too much about performances because it's about results. I wouldn't usually put our chances down to one game, and certainly results at Anfield have never impacted where the title goes, but I feel we simply have to beat Arsenal to win the title. Any other result and I think it's over. A big win would also help goal difference, which doesn't look like it's going to improve much for us and is looking potentially critical.

March and early April stood out as tough. Get through this with things the same, and then it's down to those last 6 games.

Favourites again ole ole…

We should beat Arsenal and hopefully Liverpool will drop points at United in early April (I know United are not particularly strong, but a Liverpool win is not a given).

for the top three, a draw for any team is nearly as bad as a loss.

 

[Coatigan]

I see people disheartened by the second half performance. But I take a little bit of comfort that for 49 minutes, after a self inflicted goal, we withstood the anfield pressure to not concede any more, and almost even knicked it.

The table this time last season

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

I'm not as confident as recent seasons, but if we use the Liverpool method of not counting "games without crowds" then their recent record at Old Trafford is relatively poor. Similarly Arsenal have got to visit both United and Tottenham
However I think City will drop more points so we'll need other results to work in our favour

 

[shemnel]

i'm at peace with this season, we've just won the treble and i think it's amazing we're in touch. This is great for the adrenalin though, hope it goes to the wire, we love that :D

 

[houraisen]

If Pep continues to insist on playing Alvarez in the midfield, I am not confident we can win trophies this season.

Ive already seen Utd fans saying theyre happy to throw their game against us if it means u or Pool dont win it.

They are not real fans

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

Its not a great Liverpool team. Would be a shambles if we let them win the title.
