How many points will be needed to win the league? (74 GD)

[Irlamblue]

Not only that we could have fielded a stronger team against Chelsea in FA Cup and we could have been in final of FA Cup and if nit quadruple, domestic treble was there for taking easily

Nevermind. i think were doing ok. ;-)

 

[BlueindianNewcity]

Steffen
Harwood-Bellis
Doyle
Ake
Delap
Garcia too.

I'd actually play Steffen in this game to boost his confidence and protect Ederson.

Blackburn may not like it.

We've won a domestic cup, close to PL and with a real chance of CL.
Don't get greedy :)

I reckon our current points total will be enough to win it. Wheels might finally fall off Ole's resurgence now that they're pretty much guaranteed second place. He will prioritise the Europa League games too.

Its a free hit now that game, put the youth team in it. The only things that matter now are two games with PSG, then they can concentrate on knocking off six points. We need this semi final sorting, then win the league and if we are fortunate play in a champs league final.

I agree. Think we should play our 'reserve team' rather than the youth team though:

Steffen
Garcia
Ake
Mendy
Palmer
Doyle
Torres
Aguero

should start alongside the regulars who aren't going to start against Paris the week after.

United have given up on the title and with all their prima-donna's they cant now be arsed. Thats what we saw yesterday and it will be what we see in all of their "little" games. They will raise it for the lfc game and for the Europa but other than that they're going to draw or lose the rest. Our title in just a few days. Wow

Blackburn may not like it.

Damn forgot about that!!

 

[paulchapo]

While six points mean the rags definitely can't catch us, five could do it with a +16 goal difference for them to make up.

Quite. We could have totally focused on the cups.

And if we'd just won every single game this season we could have stopped worrying about the league ages ago...


These kind of comments are stupid. it's the most congested season in history, we went deep in all 4 competitions. The players haven't had a midweek break since September. Eventually we were going to drop the ball in a couple of games.

United are the second best side in the league, it really shouldn't be a surprise that we lost to them. Chelsea are in the CL semi final, again, losing a cup game to them shouldn't be considered a shock. What Pep and the team were trying to do has never been done before. It needed lots of rotation and yes, we ended up dropping the FA Cup, and we might win the league 2 weeks later, but really who gives a fuck? 1 cup in the bag, League is done, CL semi-final coming up.

Some people on here need a slap. Seriously, the entitlement in these comments is appalling. Complaining that we've only sewed up 2 competitions with the chance of a first CL win?
