The Title Race - 2021/22

[Alfie Budd]

Looking at games where points may be dropped is something that can end up with you looking silly. Not many people would have thought the dippers would fail to win at home against Brighton or that Leicester would keep one of their very rare clean sheets this season against them. And I think most would have thought we'd get three points at Southampton. Slip-ups can happen when you least expect them so it's essential we keep focused and a surprise result elsewhere is a nice bonus.
Another Leicester clean sheet tonight is probably too much to ask for but stranger things have happened.....

They're away at Burnley.

That makes me feel better - small chance they could nick a draw

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I'm looking at it from the point of view that if we lose one game we'll only be 3 points ahead and still to play them.

So technically one loss and it's back in Liverpool's hands... hope that restores your twitchiness!

It still wouldn't be in their hands as we may still have the goal difference before we played each other.

This Liverpool team are way off the level, especially with Champs League and League Cup final to factor in around the fixtures.

It’s like scoreboard pressure in cricket
If we keep winning they have to win just to stay within 6 points of us
That’s not easy

After the next 4/5 games I expect the gap to be 4/5 points. Liverpool’s position is not that bad, despite the media conceding the title, not many on here would agree.

Can city hold their nerve? History tells us yes.
The Manager & Players have the experience to see it through. My only slight concern is goals. We need Foden & Grealish to start chipping in.

I’m going for 92

We've done brilliantly to get points on the board and keep the pressure on. Unfortunately Liverpool are also quite good at racking up wins so I assume the gap will actually be 6pts. That's a great position to be in, in February, but many of us will remain twitchy, whatever the circumstances.

 

[bellsouth]

We’ll both get more than 90, I think we will win by 2.

 

[wolfie1988]

Just. Keep. Winning.

Liverpool's february is piss easy, though traditionally they do struggle against Burnley but yeah would expect max points from them. March will be the month to break their back if we can maintain the lead through this month.
