The Title Race 2022/23

[KingGeorge]

Spot on.

Amazes me how many people are adamant that Arsenal will win all of their remaining games, while thinking that all of a sudden we are going to have a melt down.

We'll get a result in Madrid to bring back to the Etihad, and then we'll go to Goodison and wipe the floor with them.

No cure for Cityitis only treatment

Everton have lost 17 games this season and are second bottom
Chelsea have lost 14
Brentford and Brighton both 9
For me there’s definitely 3 wins coming

The reality is, we can afford to lose a game and still win the league. We’ve lost 4 all season and won our last 10 league games. We need to win 3 of our last 4 games. Or win 2 and draw the other 2.

There’s a few slippy ones but we’re arguably the best team in European football right now. Don’t be fooled by some sloppy ‘controlled’ halves we’ve had recently, you don’t go looking for a treble and going gung-ho every game wasting energy. When we need to step up, we do and we will.

We’re a completely different fucking animal when the pressure’s on. Arsenal have to win every game of theirs as well to still be in touching distance.

It’s in our hands and I’d rather it be that way than it was a few weeks ago when we were relying on fuck ups from them.

Come on blues!!

All comes down to Everton away now. Win that and I think we do it.

Arsenal have a new life and will win every game now for me.

Chelsea at home we should be winning, and if you offered us a win and a draw away to Brighton and Brentford to win the league at the start of this season we would be all over it. A loss and a draw could do it.

All depends on Everton for me.. lose that and I think we might find ourselves in a really difficult scenario.

If we beat Everton and Arsenal, we can draw both Brighton and Brentford and win the title

If we beat Everton and Arsenal, we can draw both Brighton and Brentford and win the title

You mean Chelsea?

But it’s If arsenal win all 3 games which is unlikely

 

[lasereyes]

Draw two and we can lose on goal difference

Not in anything but a fantasy world. They would have to score at least 16 goals without reply in their remaining 3 games.

Yup - Everton & Chelsea.

I think its very likely they will win all 3

 

[Mcfc1.9.8.0]

You would think city were playing this evening and were beat 2-0

 

[youngbob]

Just have to get to 91 points.

 

[GX Blue]

Just have to get to 91 points.

90.

They’d have to win all 3, 6-0 for us then needing 91.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

There’s a few slippy ones

What did you go and say that for?

 

[eversince 76]

Wish it was Arsenal. We beat them what, 3 times this season? Nuff said.

 

[eyalluvitt]

we should be confident going to Everton to win
Their form is appalling, they lost at home to Fulham amd Newcastle recently
They will look to sit deep and hit us with set pieces but We have Harland and de bruyne and they need to win

They fluked a point at the Etihad so we owe them one

 

[uptheblues]

Jesus there’s some right flappers on this forum, have some faith in our team, the players, Pep! We have the momentum, the best players, the experience, to win this title, start believing Blues , the title is happening

 

[Crooked_rain]

No point fretting over specific games

We turned arsenal over and we've dropped points against lesser teams

Arsenal have dropped points recently against teams near the bottom, yet just beat Newcastle away. If football was won and lost on paper, we could just decide it before a ball was kicked.

I'm confident we won't throw it away at this point but the reality is both of us can drop points in games least expected, its often the way.

We can afford to draw 2 games across 4.. rewind a couple of weeks and you’d have snapped your own hands off for that. Perfectly placed.

 

[goalmole]

Let's be a bit serious guys. We have four more games. Four. We have a serious claim to being the best footballing side in Europe. We're not playing ogres here. We're not playing the 2009 Barcelona of Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets and Messi. We're playing Everton, Chelsea, Brentford and Brighton. I have every confidence we get this over the line, regardless of what Arsenal do or don't do.

Brighton and Brentford are touted as being something of world beaters by some on here. No doubt they are very good teams and can beat anyone on their day, but they are on 55 and 50 points respectively for a reason. We just have to maintain confidence in what we are capable of and expect Pep and the team to deliver as they have when it really mattered in the past.
Really enjoying this run in and whatever will be will be.

We’ve 4 games to play, 3 are away
