The Title Race - 2021/22

[gordondaviesmoustache]

We’ve played all of Spurs Palace and Southampton twice now and got no wins and dropped 15 points against them

Good job we don’t have to play them again then!

Feels a lot like a repeat of 2018/19 but with the roles reversed. This time Liverpool have all the momentum and we've completely lost ours. Having said that, you'd still rather be a point ahead than a point behind.

We're going to need to pull out a big performance against them at our place.

Tonights result now means the Dipper game is now a must win , along with the other seven or eight games , so we need at least 95pts to win our fourth title in five years

I agree - I see them winning every game apart from against us.
simple equation - win the next 8 PL games in a row and we’re champions

And how do you imagine us doing that after tonight? Delusion

win it by 1 pt and i will cream my pants after swigging champers on a 12 hour bender.

I know we are lacking a striker, but for me we are lacking an old school leader in the form of Vinny.

Pep likes total football, no tackles etc etc.

But to win this league you need the lot normally

No, it doesn't......



Draw that game, and win the other eight will take us to 95 points. If Liverpool win their other 9 games as well as that draw, they'll get to 94 points.

Great point gained tonight

You would and probably did say the same 3 years ago after we were beaten 2-1 at St. James Park and we knocked 15 wins off on the bounce to win the league by a point.

Can’t see anything other than Arsenal having their bellies tickled on Wednesday night
It’ll be 0-2 after 20 minutes

Liverpool will not drop any points form now till the end of the season. Their squad depth has also increased with the new signings in January.

Everyone thought Liverpool will struggle without Salah and Mane but now it seems even without these 2 Liverpool have the depth to play and win games.

The best we can do now is win every game and draw against Liverpool at home cause they are on fire and we have wobbled a bit. If we drop any points from now till the Liverpool game then the league will be their's to win!

They will drop 3 on Wednesday you watch

Think we need a little leeway hence i stated win seven or eight of the last games , Wolves and West Ham away will be very tough games and wouldnt be surprised if we drew at least one of them.
We beat the Dippers at home and we have the buffer required , but that league table does still look nice and would have taken that at the start of the season.

Liverpool have been fantastic and are a brilliant side (despite what some posters like to believe). sadly a lack of a striker has come back to haunt us. Not replacing Sergio was complete madness

Not if we sign Håland this Summer.

Not signing a striker for this season but signing Håland for the next decade will be the best thing we could possibly do.

 

[WestGorton]

I think we will beat Liverpool at home. Tonight was a good point in the end in the balance.

You actually said the Liverpool game was now a must win after tonight. It isn't. I do agree with you re the leeway, though. Even 1 extra point would be nice. But it is what it is. We're still in a "better" position than in the 18/19 season, when we had to win the last 14 games to win the title by a single point.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Because we have taken 80% of the points available so far this season , which means we would end up with 92pts at that current rate , which also means the Dippers can only afford to drop three points from their last ten matches. You can throw the towel in if you want , but i believe in Pep and these players.

I'm sorry to say this but I can't see Liverpool slipping. They have a good chance of overtaking you. I don't want it to happen. But I can't see them slowing down any time soon.

Well, after the last time Palace took points off us we won 12 in a row.
