Do you honestly think that not a single player from our team wants to score - or has the desire to?
We aren’t scoring many but to say none of the team want to is just ridiculous.

Nothing to do with flapping. It's looking at what's happening on the field and drawing a conclusion.
Not a conclusion. A hypothesis.

I agree to a certain degree but we have to give credit for them for capitalising on every bit of good fortune that goes their way(without over doing it). Some teams get those lucky breaks and squander them. They have ruthless strikers and plenty of them to capitalise on those things.Time and again I read that Liverpool didn't play well but got the luck and the decisions to swing the game. It happened in the cups and the league. Without that their season could have been over before it began. Similarly with a little luck City could have been clear. This is why I don't understand the eulogising over Liverpool. They are a good side but not as good as the media would have us believe.
While I do think Liverpool will drop points, I hope the City team has the attitude that they can't afford any more off performances, from now to the end of the season(win games early, would be nice too). We've dropped points almost every time that's happened since January, it feels like. It wont mean much if they do drop points, if we're doing it too. That said, when our team get in the zone, they are more than capable of going on a 9 game winning streak in this league.
Am I right in thinking Pep's City have had longer winning streaks and more of them, than Klopp's Liverpool?

You've brought back a bad memory of that day at Wembley.It was typical City at its best. I remember our much lauded famous five forward line that day. Bell, Lee, Summerbee, Law and Marsh. Wolves should have been hammered. They had lost their first choice keeper Phil Parkes with a broken leg but as is our luck Gary Pierce came in and was man of the match. Utterly depressing
Thanks.. :)
Got well oiled that night in London.

The glimmer of hope I'm clinging to is......we have the easier run in.

I wouldn't call it a hypothesis, but yes as the title race has not yet concluded then it isn't that either.

We haven't. Wolves, West Ham away, tough games. Burnley, Leeds away fighting for survival. A much improved Villa ( With the Gerrard/Coutinho/Liverpool connection ) and a rejuvenated Newcastle. Watford and Brighton on paper should be wins. The Liverpool game is hard for both clubs.
Their firepower and ability to score; n tight games might just give them the edge. We'll see.

Yes but someone can hypothesize and then come to a conclusion (in their own mind) based on form and likelihoods. Even if their personal conclusion turns out to be inaccurate.I wouldn't call it a hypothesis, but yes as the title race has not yet concluded then it isn't that either.
"I've concluded that.....blah blah blah"
By the time we play newcastle, West Ham and villa in the last 3 games, it’s highly likely all 3 teams will already be on the beachWe haven't. Wolves, West Ham away, tough games.

wolves will be our hardest game. Leeds is tricky but we’ve already put 7 past them this season. Burnley, Brighton and Watford should be fairly straightforward
leaving Liverpool. I think it’s starting to look like the winner of that game wins the league. With so much to lose it will probably end up in a cagey draw, which will be a better result for us I suspect
