The Title Race - 2021/22

[chaddblue]

I've got us down for winning it with 91 points with the dippers on 88

I'm hoping our next 3 home games... Brighton, Watford and Newcastle will be a certain 9 points but also will leave us with a better goal difference than scouse

Don’t know whether it’s a good or bad thing, but 2 of our last 4 games are now away, after the wolves game has to be rearranged.


I appreciate it doesn’t always work out like this as the nerves kick in, not only for the fans, but also the players, but we should win our remaining 4 home games. Brighton and Newcastle won’t make it easy. Watford have gone. Villa should have nothing to play for bar helping Slippy G. (and Liverpool)

Leeds is winnable, even though Leeds have a new manager, and their form has picked up recently. For me the title and our chances of winning it will be the 2 key away games at Wolves and West Ham, neither will be easy, and these are the 2 games City could slip up in. Hopefully both teams will have nothing realistically to play for, with the CL and EL places done by then.

We’ve dropped 4 points in our last 2 away games at Southampton and Palace.


Brighton.
Watford.
Leeds.
Newcastle.
Wolves.
West Ham.
Villa.

Stand corrected on any fixture mistakes.

I expect both teams to draw at least one more game each.

The Form Kane/Son are in, im hoping they take that high line to town. Son is a massive threat on the move and being clinical.

Spurs will certainly give them a game and have gone close at Anfield the last couple of times.

I actually have some belief United will turn up and get a point next week, being so soon after Liverpool play us at Wembley.

I think our main struggles will be Watford on the counter at home and Wolves away, as they don't concede easily.

We've beaten every team we have left to play in the league this season. Interestingly, we've only dropped points against the same teams home and away:

Liverpool, 2 draws.
Spurs, 2 defeats.
Southampton, 2 draws.
Palace is the only team where our first game didn't match the second as we lost one and drew one.

We've won both legs for every other team that we've played twice... meaning we are scientifically proven to win every league game from now until the end of the season.

For me it’s simple. Don’t rotate unless you absolutely have to. It’s the games when we see Gundogan, Ake, Zinchenko etc all brought in at the same time are the times when we suddenly lose tempo.

Keep it to a minimum and we’ll win through. If we pick up injuries, c’est la vie, the bench is quality enough to plug anyone in. But don’t mass rotate for a single game.

Out of our remaining 7 league fixtures we've beat them all in the corresponding games.
Doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things but I thought I'd spread some positive waves.

EDIT: Sorry @Manchester33 just seen you've already posted this stat.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Both teams will win all their remaining games imo.

Wolves at home was a grind, truth be told, fortunate penalty.

Liverpool only managed to win there 1-0 in the 96th minute, so we know it will be a tough one.

I also don''t think Leeds will want a repeat of the 7-0.
