Will we win the league this season?

[Blu1]

We will be close but no. Our squad is not good enough. We are also lacking energy & physicality. I can only see Arsenal winning. They look like they want it more.

I think we will be a top cup team this season and finish a close 2nd in the league and hopefully pick up the Champions league.

They’ll bottle it. Just got to stay close enough to keep the pressure on.

I’ve changed my mind after that performance you’ve got to win these kind of games No don’t think we will now

You’ll change your mind again. Most likely after we beat Chelsea next match

Halfway, title race hasn't even started yet.

Disappointing to not win but in the last 7 games we have closed the gap, so you have to take it. Probably the game you want to be winning though.

19 games left, 16 wins needed in my opinion. Maybe 15 if one of the wins is Arsenal.

87+ points to win the title.

Well written sensible post

Long way to go. Bring it on

Don't overstate the effect of one result. It is a setback but getting Rodri back is a big plus, and I thought he played well.

 

[Damanino]

we need some magic in these away games as mix draws and losses will not be good enough for title, at the very least we will need imo 2w,2d, 1l:
rags away
Liverpool away
Spurs away
Bournemouth away
Everton away

plus the home game vs likes of Chelsea, Newcastle, Villa need to be mostly wins maybe 2 wins, 1 draw. and of course the huge 6 pointer vs Arsenal.

Chelsea up next, no manager, Caicedo suspended, their form aint great, really we cannot fuck it up and let a some caretaker outfox Pep.

 

[paulchapo]

No and this is the reason. Aside from the fact Arsenal are four points ahead and i can't see many if any games where they will drop points. Ourselves however have to go to Liverpool and Spurs where we always get absolutely fuck all. That will be the difference.

Thought Rodri looked excellent when he came on - if he's at that level why isn't he starting as he was a level above Gonzalez I thought (for obvious reasons - he's a Ballon D'or winner). But if he's fit he's got to start.

 

[the blue panther]

I'm abroad in Italy and had to suffer the matchday thread.

Fuck me - what a bunch of fanny-wipes! Thank God I'll be back for the Chelsea match.

 

[Paul1970]

We are work in progress and in my eyes are doing a lot better than I thought as we are integrating alot of players and starting to play a new way which takes time but we are getting there and by bringing in senenyo will be another step forward but when Mamoush comes back we need to give him a go upfront and rest the big man. I think arsenal will win the title by at least 6 points but if we win a cup and finish second I’ll be happy .

Those two games are start of February with Newcastle at home sandwiched between them I think as well.

That week will determine whether or not we can truly win this league in my opinion.

Our record away at spurs is fine it’s at the Etihad where we struggle against them. They’ll bend over if there is even a sniff of us being in the title race. Think we get at least a point at Anfield as well.

If Liverpool could play is at Anfield in every game they would win the league until the end of time.

Our record there, even with worse sides than this current one is utterly terrible.

2 wins in 50 years and 1 of those was during COVID behind closed doors when the title was done.

 

[wolviedinho]

If rodders is properly back then we will be in with a decent shout.

 

[daztrueblue91]

I see Arsenal comfortably winning the league if I’m being honest.

I don’t think we’re convincing in our away games and we have still have to go to Liverpool, United, Spurs, Chelsea and Bournemouth.

 

[I'm Blue]

Signings this month could make the difference.
I thought we’d moved past these poor halves of football.
Anymore performances like tonight and we’re done imo.
