The Title Race - 2021/22

[abu13]

Chelsea have a really tough month ahead playing Liverpool, us and Spurs in the League and also playing Spurs twice in the League cup.

They could quite easily be a dozen points behind us by the time Feb ticks around.

If they somehow cut our lead then they will have had a fantastic month.

The dippers also have a lot of games to play including Chelsea and two games against Arsenal in the League cup, the bulk of the month will be without Salah and Mane.

Chelsea aren’t winning it. They’ve been very lucky in a few of their wins and they just don’t look like title winners, especially with City and Liverpool having good seasons.

They also don't have their first team keeper Chelsea.

Klopp and Tuchel starting to lose the plot too now. This is what relentless pressure does. If we can win Sat then it puts huge pressure on the pair of them and the loser of that game is out of it for me.

Chelsea v Liverpool will end in a draw and City's lead at the top will be in double digits. No-one is catching you lot. Happy to call it now. Its done. Congrats you fuckers.

If it doesn’t end in a draw one of you is out of it.
The CL will of course be interesting, I'm hoping there's not an all English tie this season!!
Enjoyed chatting with your lot in Porto - you're not all bad you fuckers ;)

Should think 85 will be enough for a comfortable title win as cannot see Liverpool or Chelsea getting more than about 81-82 however I'm confident we'll break the 90 point barrier

The kick-off scheduling of the Brentford and Arsenal games was supposed to be the fix.

If we can win both, then we have a couple of weeks to recharge and keep our foot on the pedal.

Let's not forget it was a 12 point gap to Liverpool in January when we went on to win it.

A draw between Chelsea and Liverpool, and us beating Chelsea, and we can start to breathe a little easier.

Do you mean when we beat them by 1 point (98 to 97)? If so, they were 7 points ahead before we beat them at home at the start of January (reducing the deficit to 4 points). They were never 12 points ahead (if I remember correctly).

If we beat Brentford & Goons we will have broken any opposition and it will become another procession , maximum we can get is 104pts , so doubt we will surpass our centurions season , but if we achieve mid nineties i can't see any other team getting within ten points of us.

I try and make it much much easier

We all know we won't go on & win all our remaining games but at a guess with 54 points to play for we will drop at least 10-12 points.

Chelsea have dropped 13 from there last 10 & with injuries to both Thiago & Chilwell who has been there major problem imo & now Reece James looking like hes out for a few I don't see them getting anymore than 38-40 points from 54
Scousers are the threat so Chelsea getting the better is a must imo on the 2nd therefore I see Liverpool losing another 12 points at least & thats being kind especially with Salah/Mane missing with AFCON

So my thinking & sums

City 94
Liverpool 86
Chelsea 82
Arsenal 76 I hope for Arteta

Would settle for that as long as the Rags finish in the europa conference and we get the Thursday night song going again.

That’s definitely correct. Seven points was the biggest lead Liverpool had over us at any stage of that season.
