which is why 2 weeks time is so key.

Yeah both the other two clubs have become something of flat track bullies this season. Liverpool have looked bad in every tough game bar two, and Chelsea have been here and there.

Probably a better thread for this...but a lot can change in a month...

In a month:

City P7 W7 D0 L0 GS: 24, GC: 5, GD: +19, Pts: 21/21.
Chelsea P7 W2 D4 L1 GS: 12, GC: 10, GD: +2, Pts: 10/21.
Dippers P6 W3 D2 L1 GS: 9, GC: 6, GD: +3, Pts: 11/18.

Big move, hopefully we build on it.

This past month alone could have killed the other two teams' seasons. City's worst ever form under Pep was the start of last season where we got 20/36 point, which is roughly equivalent to Liverpool's last month.

That means that if Liverpool or Chelsea pick up steam we'd have to drop to a very low historical standard for them to catch us. The only exception would be if either Liverpool or Chelsea go on a monstrous run and we dip, and even though Liverpool have done it before, they don't seem to have that capability this season.

I still maintain this is the exact reason we lost the CL match last season against you. by the time we played in the final against you we have not played a competitive meaningful game in about two months and I think that had a huge drop in our mental preparations I think.

No we lost it because for the first in a meaningful game (ie not early rounds of cups) Pep didn't start with either Rodri or Fernandinho

Journos going after City . . .

Who would trust a piece of glass in that situation.

Anyone with concerns that the title may go to either chelsea or liverpool……

now’s they time to back them

if the worst happens ( which I doubt ) then you’ve got a good wedge coming in

8 months on its still a sore - and puzzling - decision

Unbelievably frustrating.
Completely agree!

It’s already over, but beat Chelsea in 2 weeks time and let AFCON sort out Liverpool and we’ll be relaxing on the beach by February, able to rest players for the Cup and CL.

13 points, have liverpool dropped 5 more since this afternoon?

Read the post you replied to.

The truth is that Liverpool are on course for 79 points and Chelsea for 78. Not league winning totals. City's lead is not that special, just kept going.
Get any kind of result v Sliverpool and Chelsea and the job should be done. But we need to keep team fit and firing as we have a slim squad.
