The Title Race 2022/23

[Tartarian Blue]

Up to us to end their season Wednesday. Enough of this draw jibber jabber.

If we can win on Wednesday, it takes the necessity away from winning our two games in hand, (at present)

I agree with this. A win for us on Wednesday kills them off mentally. Pep will treat it as a title-decider.

 

[ManCityGR!]

Why? Momentum means a lot in football, Arsenal certainly don't have that any more.

Sure but I think fatigue means a lot more :)

I've never feared this Arsenal team. Always was confident we would win this title.
Would be a shame if we didn't, best team in each country should win that league and by a distance, we are the best team in England.
I was listening to a bookie on the radio saying a few weeks ago that City were 11/8 and the pundits saying its probably over, Arsenal have it. This was around the time they were blowing teams like Palace and Leeds away at home, after an easy run of fixtures. I just thought to myself - 11/8 is a crazy price, we could actually win it quite comfortably come May

Their defence is poor. Since we put 3 past them they've conceded 2 to United, Villa and Bournemouth - got out of jail in all those games with late winners.
2 to Liverpool and West Ham and 3 tonight.
Not good enough

Players won't think of it any other way, we've been here too often now with this squad. Arsenal are in unchartered territory for them and have lost the momentum, that's the big advantage we have.

Easy motivational solution get KDB to watch or or listen to the clip of some pundit saying Odengard is better than him
That will light the blue touch paper
Job done

On what planet does that feel like a win for Arsenal ffs?

Anyone whose kicked a ball knows ffs, 2 down 89 min, you must have played surely????

Saliba is a big miss for them

If we beat Arsenal ( which I think we will) we still can’t afford to drop any points until the pot is back at our place with those lovely ribbons on . It’s as simple as that.

 

[coolcity]

They said that after we beaten them at the Emirates and they managed to eke out a win vs Villa and we dropped points vs Forest.

Exactly, anything can happen, even regardless of the result either way on Wednesday. But the form is currently with us, while they can't buy a win at the moment.

Long way to go yet, we still have 8 PL games to play.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

So we can draw on Wednesday night and win the rest of our games and still win the title.
Obviously we should go and win the game, as there's always potential to slip up in one of the games in the run in, but it isn't a must win now
