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

[iwasthere1968]

If losing on the final day allows Everton to knock Liverpool out of the CL or Europa League then I hope we play the under 14s

It would be close though.

Didn't we only hit the 100 points on the last game of the season?

Presumably the point is that once the league was won he didn’t play the kids

We all know Pep by now. He will always put out the best team he thinks will win the game. If you think he will start playing all the kids after we win the league, think again. He didn’t do it when we hit the 100 points and he won’t do it now.

Wants to break 90 points this season and create another record that won't be broken for a long time a premiership side securing 90 plus points at 3 in 4 possible attempts.

Have the record points margin and this season would like to make it another 19 point margin so we occupy numbers 1 and 2.

It would have been tricky to play the kids after we had hit the 100 points as it was the last kick of the season ;-)

Literally correct but I suggest FQ was alluding to the fact Pep continued to play strong line ups in that long after the title was won.

he continued to do so last season even though we had second place sealed for a number of games.

I agree with FQ he won't go for kids even after the title is ours which could well be sealed this weekend.

Surely the last thing we need is Liverpool with VVD back and no European distractions. We may as well hand Klopp the title.

This record is a bit scouse, BUT... if we win the league this season we would have had the best domestic run of success over 4 season in the history of English football. League wins 3 and 1 second place and 5 domestic cups.

I was also just having a quick look at Peps record. After this season he will have managed for 12 seasons 8 League wins (hopefully 9 soon), 9 cups. Plus 2 CL. 20 major honours plus 2 to play for this season. At Utd Fergie got 25 in 26 years.

As a player he won 6 leagues and 1 Cup plus CL and Uefa cup plus Olympic gold medal. He's 50 for gods sake.

Pep is the greatest. Cough... and erm... I love him.

Last minute of the last game!!
Should have brought 3 kids on for injury time :-)

93.01 it crossed the line.

One second after the minimum three minutes added time.

93.20 is rightly the famous one but 93.01 I have a soft spot for!

Nah as long as theyre playing Thursday nights in the Europa League or Conference League they’ll be fucked

I agree whole heartedly with this set of stats and remember 5 of those seasons in a league that is widely recognised as the toughest to win in Europe at least where I believe he has all things considered done his best work to date.

I mean his record in the League Cup almost defies belief , we have caught Liverpool in that regard in a competition that lets face it sides outside the top 6 have the best chance to win in any given season as its history shows.

His record at City in the FA Cup is sensational all things considered.

In the Chumps League yes losses to Liverpool , Spurs and Lyon were disappointing however we are the only team in the premiership who has played in the competition each year he has been at the helm.

I think his five years can be best summed up though as to date he is the only single manager of a club in the premiership of all the clubs in the hunt for honours each year Klopp aside that can compete favourably each year on all four fronts.

Klopp has ditched the FA Cup and League Cup two domestic trophies that Liverpool through the 60's and beyond treasured each and every year they competed in them.

No doubt a manager that the managers of the world have the utmost respect of and like all great managers humble as well.

in Pep we will always trust.

I agree Longsight Europa will be a tease for them their best way to get back to Chumps if that rule stays in vogue and just for laughs its annulled the season they win it after finishing 5th in the league.
