Any win, just get the points , we have to win so there is no choice

All five of our remaining games are against teams you feel can put up a fight, but the same is true for Liverpool. We just need to keep on winning, keep the pressure up. This is one of the biggest ties as it's right in between the Real games. Get through this one and a good result against Real and then we can stick the CL on the back burner for a bit and focus 100% on the Prem, whereas Pool will still have the FA Cup to worry about. The pressure will be fully on them, especially with the Spurs game coming up (don't expect Spurs to get anything but they should at least make them run a bit).

Leeds look a damn sight better under Ted Lasso than they did before, but man-for-man, we're a much better side. We should be winning, just like we should win all of our remaining games when you look at them on paper. Just up to Pep and the lads to make it happen. I like the Fern + Rodri idea to let Kev roam and keep some solidity. Plus it eases the pressure on Rodri to have Fern beside him. I worry so much about Rod getting injured, he's become absolutely vital for us.

I agree looking at our remaining fixtures and the dippers we look the more likely ones to drop points

City & Liverpool's remaining games are very similar: we *both* play Newcastle, Wolves & Villa.

Only differences are:
- we play Leeds & West Ham
- they play Spurs & Soton.

And whether we play the team home or away, of course.
They also have a Cup Final that may distract them ... but against that, we have the tougher CL semi.

Basically ... it couldn't be much more evenly balanced !

I prefer Liverpool playing 1st. If they win we know we must. If they lose or draw it gives added incentive to open a gap.

Well this makes me feel soooooooo much better now pal!

We did put seven past these and probably could have doubled that tally. Score first and it will be another rout

Scruffy 1-0 will do, our chance to close goal difference was thrown away about an hour into last Saturday v Watford

I don’t think we threw it away. The only circumstance that goal difference comes into play is if both us and the dippers drop points (we lose and they draw). Obviously we wouldn’t want it to come to that and are expecting to win all remaining games. I wouldn’t be too disappointed that we didn’t look a threat after Kev being substituted. The plan was to control the game and not risk injuries.
