The Title Race - 2021/22

[Cambo]

Why you thinking like that? We are better team than Villa and we playing at home. I dont understand.

Let me enlighten you as to why he may be nervous. It's City. Let's also look at some recent results:

PL City 2 : Liverpool 2 - we were the better team and only ended up with a draw, a win would likely have finished their PL challenge.
FA Cup Semi: Liverpool 3 City 2: - Team selection/injuries, but still diabolical first 45-mins. This result kept their domestic treble and quad alive.
CL Madrid 3 : City 1 - Enough said. Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory having been the better team over the two legs, means we can't stop them in the CL Final and are relying on RM to do that for us.
WHU 2 City 2: Diabolical first 45. Ability to win with a penalty in last 5-mins and don't. Keeps Liverpool in it still, when a win for us yesterday would effectively have sealed it for us.

Granted, we have had some big wins in between (Leeds, Newcastle, Wolves) and these have shown that the team has an element of resolve, however, it's a small squad, decimated with key defensive injuries that looks like we're running on empty and in the stretch we have come up short.

Leaving anything to the last day of the season is not what anyone would have wanted and to have potential jeopardy on the last day of the season (assuming Liverpool beat the Saints mid-week) is going to be tough for the nerves.

I have a horrible feeling we are going to bottle it. Hope I’m wrong but everything fucking thing is going Liverpool way this year. VAR can also fuck us over

The same var that gave us a penalty yesterday?

The same var that gave us a penalty yesterday?

These players need to prove they have a strong mentality. They have to win against villa at any cost. No matter what.

I’m sorry but I keep hearing about a poor mentality. This is rubbish. We lost against Madrid but that had nothing to do with mentality or lacking bottle. Sometimes these things happen. They score and in a crest of a wave another.
We are doing the team a massive miservice if we are digging them out about mentality.

This group have won titles before and have shown on more than one occasion they are bang up for it. At West Ham we are a spot kick away from beating them after being two down. If that doesn’t show anyone they have the minerals to get back into the game I don’t know what will.

Personally I think the half the reason we didn’t win is we have a back four that had one fully fit specialist defender. A centre back who is injured. A left back who is a midfielder and a centre back who is a midfielder who is injured and also 37. All things considered I think we did alright yesterday.

By the way I have only quoted you city blues as it’s the last post but I’ve read so much that we lack mentality when I do think it’s the case. We may well lose on Sunday but for me it’s nothing to deal with mentality.

BBC and the media talking as though Liverpool have already won it against Southampton. It's just assumed. Pretty bloody disrespectful to the Saints, I'd say. It's good, actually. If I were a Southampton player I'd be well wound up by that level of disrespect. I'd do anything to win.

I was thinking that but they don’t-Leeds can’t catch them unfortunately

I think the manager needs one they were booed off by their fans only a week ago. He has had some embarrassing results in the past too. Klopp lite might know he is a hammering away from the sack.

And wolves!
It’s assumed that They will win both games and the pressure is on us now.
Well we are four points ahead.
They need to win two games to have a chance
We win one and it’s over
