The Title Race - 2021/22

[DiscoSteve]

Hang on just a minute there mate errr they’ve got 5 world class strikers and they’re far more clinical in front of goal than we are and teams have worked out how to play us and we can’t break down packed defences and we should’ve bought a striker in January ………

Goals for :

City 94
Lpool 89

;-)

so not their fault then?

 

[Bluemoonadam]

The same Southampton that held us to two draws this season?

Lol Leicester tonked them 9 nil a few years back at Saint Mary's.

 

[Silva2021]

West Ham would have been so much easier if in Europa final, but we’re City and nothing gets handed to us.

Will be a tough game and defence is potentially not great.

But we’ve got Pep and they have got Moyes, we also have the best player in the world right now. So let’s be confident but not cocky blues

 

[donkinho]

They wouldn’t need to win 9-0. For goal difference to become an issue, we would have to lose to West Ham (or Villa) first. If we lost say 1-0 on Sunday that would knock the GD down to 6. It’s not beyond the realms of possibility that the dippers might then bang in 4 or 5 at Southampton, which would make things mighty tight on the final day. Even though it’s a long shot, I was irritated at the gift wrapped chances we spunked in the last 10 minutes last night. We could have put the possibility of GD playing a role, completely to bed

If Sterling hadn't missed three absolute sitters, it would be put to bed !!!

Thank God I didn't express how I thought united would challenge this season.

I don’t know whether you did or didn’t. I clearly don’t follow your output as closely as you follow mine :-) x

Did we sign Maguire?

 

[55yr old teenager]

If we lose a match our goal difference goes down by at least one.
Current GD is 7.
We have overturned more than that in the last 2 games over the dippers and they didn't even lose a game.

They play Wolves in their last game. They are certainly capable of putting 5 past them just like we did. We can't rely on goal difference. Think we need to win both games.

The way we are playing goal difference wont even come into it mate.

We will beat both West Ham & Villa and finish on 95 points.

Lets just enjoy watching this brilliant team!

Win and a draw does the trick

Beggars can't be choosers and I would've happily taken a 1-0 win last night pre kick-off but as the goals started flying in, I was thinking exactly the same!

Southampton and Wolves woud be like cannon fodder to them. As good as we were, Wolves looked particularly poor. We will have a good idea where we stand after the West Ham match

 

[Cricket Blue]

We should have bagged at least another 2 last night.
Genuinely think we could get double figures in some games next season with our Norwegian bulldozer.

 

[jrb]

Liverpool's last 2 games.

Canon fodder(Southampton) v Liverpool
Liverpool v cannon fodder(Wolves) (just lost 1-5 to City at home)

Unless Southsmpton and Wolves can park the bus, battle like f*ck, and hold out as log as they both can, I can easily see a possible 10 goals for Liverpool in their last 2 games.

 

[mccity]

one interesting piece for me is how goals have dried up for the scouser and we're free flowing. 13 goal advantage to City in the last 4 games.

Tbh Liverpool since January are like they were back in 18/19. Sometimes they play great and win big, and the rest of the time they somehow manage to scrape a win regardless of how well or poorly they played. Except this time around they're even worse and somehow even jammier.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I am quite looking forward to a scenario where we beat West Ham by a goal or two, meaning that Liverpool need to win their last game of the season 5 or 6 nil whilst we lose. The fact that they would go into that game with a glimmer of hope which would casually bludgeon throughout the afternoon would be nice, a bit like Brighton a couple of years ago.

Yes the panic makes perfect sense then!

They could score 100 goals in those two games, if we get our win and a draw, will mean fuck all.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

A 2 goal margin vs West Ham will do the job.

Stones, Dias and Walker should all start and just sub them as required. They'll have plenty of time to rest.

It’s the hope that kills you, la.
