    The Title Race - 2023/24

    The only important thing against Arsenal are the 3 pts. We have another difficult game in 3 days, then another PL game in 3 days, and then Real away in 3 days. That's four difficult games in just 10 days. Our GD would be the last thing Pep would think about in this period. It's all about points...

    Liverpool Thread - 2023/24

    Nah, Klopp meant his mental appearance, which is rude enough and inexcusable.

    Arsenal (H) - Sun 31st Mar, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    I don't disagree. Arsenal are in better form than they were at that stage last season, partly because the main players are available. I'm not sure they'll finish with more points than last season, though. It will be a very difficult game for City. If we win, it will be something like 2:1 or...

    Arsenal (H) - Sun 31st Mar, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    That sounds like a reasonable strategy but it has its trade-offs. If you go hard at City you leave spaces that can be exploited. It's risky, as KDB and Haaland are the best pair in football when it comes to make use of such spaces, especially at the Etihad. Unlike Liverpool, who for some...

    IIRC, Klopp himself.

    Liverpool Thread - 2023/24

    More like every *other* year... Liverpool have finished in the top 2 only in two consecutive seasons under Klopp despite having had one of the 5-6 most expensive squads in the world.

    Arsenal (H) - Sun 31st Mar, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    I think it will be a close game but an absolute hammering can happen between relatively equal teams due to the nature of football. City could score 4 goals with 5 shots, and Arsenal might fail to score from 15 shots. Such things can happen in football. Also, if you can lose 1:0 from Porto, you...

    Liverpool Thread - 2023/24

    It's a psychological blow for Liverpool. They definitely hoped they could win a quadruple in Klopp's last season. Now they know things might go south quickly. They will feel a bit more anxious about the possibility of failing in the league... Klopp made the mistake to field strong teams vs...

    25 | Manuel Akanji - 2023/24

    He's also our physically strongest defender (according to Rodri, he's our strongest player full stop).

    9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

    He's improving after the injury. His overall game yesterday was the best I've seen him playing this season. He wasn't bad at Anfield either but the service wasn't good.

    25 | Manuel Akanji - 2023/24

    Akanji played at RB vs Bayern and was generally great there. That's the thing with him, and why Pep relies on him: he's our most versatile defender. Walker can't play on the left, Ake can't play on the right. Akanji can play every role across the defensive line. Plus, his passing is more than...

    We made them look truly awful. That was an excellent performance.

    Newcastle United (H) | FA Cup | Post Match Thread

    Many say that was one of our most controlled performances this season. Thought that was impossible with Doku on the pitch :) Pep will have a decision to make when both KDB and Grealish are in form. One from them and Kovacic should start on the bench in big games... Last season it was Foden...

    Arsenal (H) - Sun 31st Mar, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    Would like to see Grealish in the starting XI, but he has barely played football for 3 months now. Can he be in top condition and form for such an important game? It's more likely that we see the same team as vs Liverpool with Kovacic replacing Alvarez.

    Newcastle United (H) | FA Cup | Post Match Thread

    It's funny that the only time we didn’t reach the FA Cup semis under Pep was when the future Centurions lost from... Wigan. Shit happens.

    Newcastle United (H) | FA Cup | Post Match Thread

    Excellent first half, they couldn't get near us. Akanji was great. Thought Gvardiol did well. Haaland didn't score but was quite involved. It's obvious he is getting better.

    FA Cup Semi-Final Draw | City will play Chelsea

    Why not Coventry? Why play a strong team in between Real and Brighton in midweek?

    Arsenal (H) - Sun 31st Mar, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    The strongest team should include the most in form defender, no?

    FA Cup Semi-Final Draw | City will play Chelsea

    There are similarities between 21/22 and 23/24. We drew Liverpool in the FA Cup semis and played them less than 72 hours after a brutal game vs a Madrid team. At least this time we'll have nearly 4 days to recover if we play Liverpool as they are in Europa. If we play Coventry, then it will be...
