The Title Race - 2021/22

[Big Joe Corrigan]

It’s Brighton Wolves fans be quiet as a mouse when city come to town it be a cauldron of boos cheering and shouting all behind the team and there manager will be up for it to because of Pep.

We’ve played and won in more hostile places than Wolves. To be honest West Ham concerns me more.

They looked as desolate as we felt (and still do feel).

Huge ask now.

The Tottenham game was disgraceful. Played poorly for 90 mins, get out equaliser and then throw it away 30 seconds later.

No killer instinct to finish chances and kill games. Not just yesterday. Palace, Southampton…

Just don’t think we have it in the locker.

At the time yes, but they'll get over it. We had a few players lose the CL final and then go away with England and lose the final of the Euros. It's professional sport that's what can happen. They've got plenty of medals from their time at City and have shown they'll keep fighting. We've had plenty of blows along the way.

I was shocked and stunned and it was a tough nights sleep. But I'm ready for Newcastle now. I'm ready to support the team and help give them the boost they need to win the title.

Pep has spoilt a lot of people on here. Win the 4 games and we finish on 95pts. United's most in a PL season was 92pts. Chelsea managed 95pts under Mourinho in what was considered possibly the greatest league team until Pep took City to 100pts then followed it up with 98pts the next season.

For all these glaring weaknesses in our squad we were minutes away from our second CL final in a row. We're close to another league title.

Our levels are absurd. We most certainly could do with some new faces to freshen up the team, but we're still not doing too badly.

You have too little faith. It will be a sky blue ribbon on the cup.

I hope your are right.

So West Ham are out! Will they be deflated and season over now or right up for finishing top 6 and another go next season?

% chances of a win

CITY
Newcastle 84%
Wolves 77%
West Ham 65%
Villa 70%

Liverpool
Spurs 67%
Villa 61%
Southampton 75%
Wolves 79%

So we have the advantage next two games and they have it for the last two.

Contrary to what most people think the highest chance of dropped points of all the games is Villa away for Liverpool (unless Gerrard helps them)

That's not good news

West Ham only have a 5% chance of 6th now which will probably be lower
by the time we play them but it’s still our hardest game in theory.

 

[Georgian Maestro]

All teams always up for it when we play them wolves is the one where it be very difficult

That one worries me too. They caused us problems at home. Wolves away could be this year's version of Newcastle 2012 and Everton 2014.

If we don't finish with 1 point more than the Vermin then it will all be for nowt. We haven't got anywhere near the heights of other years despite the points tally. Struggled in plenty of games and were fortunate with a few calls that went our way.
Plenty of posters opinioned that no striker would cost us dearly this Season.
As far as the title goes I hope they were wrong.

With the disapppointment and the manner of the loss to Real, these 4 games are now a massive test of Pep and the team. They have shown the character and mental strength before but this now feels more intense .

Because of that the next game against Newcastle becomes massive, and the fitness and attitude of the players really crucial. If we win that, then the the belief is boosted and we hopefully move on.

Without knowing the extent of injuries to players, but assuming Walker and Stones to be either doubts or definitely missing, everybody has to use the loss to Real to drive them on.

It's going to be difficult and tense, but hopefully we are able to achieve the results to keep the PL away from the dippers .
