I still think we will win the league

[DiscoSteve]

a nett 7 points off with a nett 10 to play - I think even a 2012 style clawback will not rescue this now, last night confirmed that for me

there is hope because this group of players can go on a run

Need to regroup with a win against Villa. If the results go our way at the weekend then the table could look very different

But the players looked exhausted at Anfield and now the best players have another game in their legs and we play again on Saturday. Pellegrini got the team wrong. He might have thought if we can get through against Liverpool then I can rest players at home to Villa.

How did they look exhausted they never actually got started, so the rest should do them good.

klopp said it right after the game,its not tiredness its mentality ,we won the cup and took our foot of the gas,we smashed Liverpool in all but scoreline on sunday we should of gone for them from the off,games gone now,we need to start against villa like a cup final/derby.

We needed 10 wins out 12 to have a chance we now need 10 out of 11. Not impossible but not likely. The problem is now that teams like WHU and the rags genuinely believe that they can male top 4 and will be busting a gut every game something we don't appear to be able to do

Even after that shambles last night, I'm still positive - I think we can still win the league. I didn't expect anything last night & it was just a bonus all of the top 3 dropped points.It'll become a lot clearer over the next 2-3 weeks but I'm confident within that time frame we'll be only 4 or so points off the top. We've got to play Arsenal at home, which i think we'll win, spurs have a v. tough run in and Leicester will drop points against the 'lesser' sides IMO - I believe Watford will beat them on Saturday, for example. It'll be close, and may even come down to the last game of the season, but we're not out of this yet, in fact I think 7/1 is a great price ;)

Unlike 2012 and 2014, (when we were playing well) our only hope rests on a bizarre set of results working in our favour, and City somehow scraping together enough points against largely disinterested teams.

I think we can get close, and will.
A real problem this year, for the first time in a few, is that our goal difference advantage - which was so good earlier in the season - has gone into reverse. The league has been so odd I could see GD being a factor

Me too.

Yes, we are all rightly annoyed by that excuse of a performance, for reasons that I neither know nor care to dwell upon.

So, 6 points in the next two games is there for the taking, especially with a midweek off. Then there's the European games followed by the derby where we all know anything can happen.

After that, there's two weeks off for Easter due to internationals. I wouldn't be looking further ahead than that for now. KDB and Nasri might be back by then. Everybody chill.

We need to put 8 past Villa.
