The Title Race - 2021/22

[MadchesterCity]

A big intangible in the race is (assuming both teams get through) the Champions League quarter final draw with the two legs in the midweeks immediately before and after we play Liverpool. I certainly don't want to have to play the league game if it's sandwiched between us having to play (for example) Bayern Munich twice. Conversely, us having a more straightforward draw than them potentially makes life a little easier.
There's always the horrible prospect of playing the dippers three times in the space of seven days.....

OMG that would be really terrible

Couldn’t agree more - typical City mindset never leaves you.

Get where you are coming from but Chelsea ended up doing us 3 x on the bounce ...and won the CL. Probability factor went straight out of the window.

 

[2infinity&beyond]

Too right it would :)

Knocking them out of the CL and clinching the title in the same week would be the sweetest thing ever.... high stakes or what

better than the Agueroooo moment ?

Although a big ask its not inconceivable this team can win the remaining 13 matches. We certainly have the squad and knowhow.

Then after that Liverpool have

City a
villa a
Everton h
Newcastle a
tottenham h
southampton a
wolves h
plus they have to reschedule arsenal away

and Arsenal will likely be going for top 4.

Think Liverpool don't look that good tbh, sure theyll beat the bottom half sides they are playing at the moment, but in march theyve got west ham, brighton and United. I don't think they will win all of those games.

Burnley had enuf chances to win today or at very least draw. Liverpool are not the tuf not to crack that they have been in the past.

There could be a bit of a swing the next two games. They have a nailed on six points with Norwich and Leeds at home, we have two tough games with Spurs and Everton. People scoff at Spurs but it doesn't matter how shit they are playing we always struggle to beat them lately. Everton are a different proposition under Lampard, now scrapping and gaining confidence. Fingers crossed.

Yip,two banana skin games hell some won’t want to think it but even the derby game is one as well as we know form goes out the window for these games,we get through those games I’ll be feeling a whole lot more confident,don’t forget we closed the gap on the rags in the last 6 games in 2012 what was it 9-10 points…anything is possible..

 

[hello]

Everyone plays 38 games. 19 at home. 19 away. Top six, bottom six, middle six, in form, out of form, no form. 38 games. Same as everyone else. We’ll be fine

You’re forgetting the it’s not fair idiots that everyone else has to play city twice and we don’t
