The Title Race 2022/23

[Jesus H Gabz]

I don't see it like that, they have the points on the board and Ok we have to play them, but that only put us under more pressure when we face them,

Arsenal know playing at the Etihad will be all on us to win the game, Yes we are good enough to beat anybody home and away, but we are still in the FA Cup and Champions League and that could be the key,

Being in the CL & FA cup is a welcome distraction, our squad can’t get too fixated on any competition, so won’t have time to overthink (and I mean Pep as well:) we go game to game

I think the expressions on the arsenal bench said it all, or at least a lot of it. Neville was trying to sugar coat it and boost ramsdales confidence as he begged his way for an arsenal win throughout that game, but they got hammered by a hopeless Liverpool team that second half. It's in our hands. Game on. Up the blues

Spot on,bar the last bit the best team does win the league regardless..

what I meant to say is sometimes the team that plays the best football does not win the title, results win the title and an ugly win gets you the same as a fantastic win

I also believe the highlighted portion of your post will lead to Crystanbul type scenarios.

Them having to go to places like St James' Park not just needing to win but needing to claw back some goals, recipe for disaster.

Hopefully as that was one of the funniest games of football I've ever witnessed.

Untrue.

We might need to, but it’s unlikely and not a definite.

If we beat Arsenal and win our game in hand then all we have to do is match Arsenal's results in the last series of games and they have tougher games. So really it all hinges on the Arsenal match.

Pressure got to them today at 2-0 they could off should off smashed Liverpool instead they constantly tried to feign injury stopped trying to attack and parked the bus. I don't think I've ever seen an English team drop to the ground so much after they took the lead. I don't like city players when they dive and feign injury but if they ever did it to that extent I wouldn't have a problem with people booing them ,all the respect I've had for Arsenal this season went to today ,I could have handled them beating us to the title now I want to make them cry like Suarez.

I agree with this. They blew it.

you can win the title the ugly way and win games 1.0 and keep it tight at the back, playing the best football sometimes wins you nothing

Arsenal under George Graham hence their chant 1-0 to the Arsenal

To such an extent someone had to read your message to me. And reply.

Up the celts, up the celts!

You know in hindsight arsenal would have took a draw against Liverpool better to come away with something than nothing,which brings me to the home game against Brentford when we could have took our medicine and a point is better than nothing just think of the extra point/s here and there in games,bit late now I know but just thinking about things like this ..

If we'd settled for a point against Fulham and a point against Brentford we'd be one point below what chasing a winner in both and ultimately losing one achieved.

We just don't know how hard 9 games to go will be this season with the world cup being in mid-season. the legs can go fast with players and playing 3 times a week from now on may push our squads to the limits,
