Looking at Liverpool's fixtures, we'll need to beat Arsenal and Chelsea just to stay in touch.
How about throwing a few draws into the mixI've just finished my 4th can and about to go to bed - whilst I accept mine is more a 'Doomsday' scenario, I haven't read/heard that much against it

If we can't catch them then fair enough . It just seems like the referees aren't throwing straight dice in their games. I think theyll win it but it's not over yet and as you say we dropped points we weren't expected to so maybe / hopefully they will tooAfter we lost to Chelsea the dippers would have been thinking, right they have Palace at home and Leicester away coming up. Two wins there for them. But beat them at the Etihad and we can go top. Then we lost those two and they had established a gap. We have clawed three points back by beating them. They scraped past Brighton and Palace and got knocked out of the cup.
In February we need to claw another three back. Yes we have tough games but we beat all of those sides last season so we can do it. Gap down to 4pts. Then do the same in March. 1pt. Then April. Go top. Then May. Win the league. You can't throw in the towel now. Our form before we lost two on the bounce suggested for a season and a half we would average 50points per 19 games. We were on for 100pts again. If we avoid blips in the second half we will still win the league.
Remember that they have Bayern in the CL too. Two fixtures that will be incredibly tough. And we will have a game in hand by the end of Feb.
So to cut a long story short, we need to win our next 10 league games :-)After we lost to Chelsea the dippers would have been thinking, right they have Palace at home and Leicester away coming up.

No white flag in hand but we must be realistic. It is out of our hands and to have a chance we must put pressure on them by winning the next four or five games. Anything can happen if we are charging down the straight behind them in April. They might bottle it like before. The big problem is, however, can we win enough games to turn up the heat.Regardless of respective positions, it grinds my fucking gears when people are already waving the white flag at this stage of the season. Especially when we've come from worse situations to win two of the last three titles we've won.
Get a fucking grip.
Maybe. We must match and try to better what the Dippers do over the next 10 games. Their form and luck so far this season suggests they may not drop much. Put it like this I don't think we can afford to drop any more points at home with maybe one loss and a draw on the road max. That will take some doing and may not even be enough. What is essential is that if the gap widens to 7 or more we are probably fucked.So to cut a long story short, we need to win our next 10 league games :-)
