The Title Race - 2023/24

Liverpool dropping points just makes our failure to close the gap yesterday even more annoying to be honest.

I’m sure if Liverpool had won today you’d be posting how that makes yesterday’s result discernibly less annoying.

The argument I constantly see made on here is essentially we went on a run the last couple years so we will go on a run this year as well.

That is like saying because a stock outperformed the market the last two years it will again this year. Our past body of work doesn’t guarantee us anything this year.

Weak analogy. Very much depends which stock.

Not a cat in hells chance we are winning it unless we get a fully fit Kevin back.

Never mind getting Kevin back if our defenders forget their primary responsibility.
We cannot defend to save our lives.
We desperately need some clean sheets for the lads to regain their confidence.
I mean conceding 4 against a shit Chelsea side, 3 against spuds and 2 against Palace who showed absolutely no desire to hurt us is the fucking problem atm, not missing Kevin.
But that’s just my opinion.

Some cunts never learn.

Will we win the league this season? Fuck knows, but to definitively write us off in December, when we are five points off the top, when the season isn’t even half way over, after what we’ve done again and again in recent seasons, shows Olympic levels of mental weakness.

Hope it’s not replicated in the dressing room, because if it is then we will struggle to finish top half.

7 years ago if I’d been offered for 23/24 being 5 off the top after 17 games, on the back of a treble winning season and winning 3 titles in a row I would have sucked your hand off.

5 points. On the back of an unusual sequence of fixtures, with one of the best players in the world missing as well as bedding in new 1st teamers. (And the season after a winter World Cup which I think has had a weird impact on everyone). Keep the faith, Pep and the players won’t give up.

I want to see Doku, KDB and Haaland in the team. That’ll be fun

 

[Franny 1234]

These dropped points at home means we need to win at Klanfield and atleast score at Spuds away. Nothing is impossible with this City team. KEEP THE FAITH CTID

Throw in Stones and that's a big improvement

 

[Ashton Moss Messi]

21 games to go, we are capable of getting 55+ points to give 89+ points.
In KDB we trust.

 

[manimanc]

Two ways to look at this, I think.

1. No one is leaving us for dead. Five points from first when first and second haven't even played each other is nothing.

2. We haven't taken advantage of other slip ups yet, and we look way, way off it.

Let's hope the winter sun and getting the whole team back together for some team talks and clear the air meetings or whatever sorts us out.

These are the posts I like to see.

Well said brother.

It’s called being realistic.

I’ve got this sussed now, if I post **** it automatically turns to **** but if I post cunts it gets through….just testing

Sometimes you can be so cynical Mr. Gordon…

Hahah

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

What's weird about this season is that we can be awful defensively (as a team) for one or more weeks then great the next whereas we have been consistently great for the past 3 seasons bar the odd few games.
Maybe it's just getting all the new players up to speed mentally and instilling that "We will not be beaten" attitude. Whatever it is I trust Pep & the club to meet the challenge.
I'm still buzzing that the academy lads performed so well in Europe's premier club competition last week.
I'd be worried If we were mostly awful after spending a billion like 2 other average clubs in the premier league but we are just lacking consistency at the moment and are sometimes very very good. Judge us when we have a fully fit squad blues.

It’s called being realistic.

None of the people that are complaining about negativity on here have been able to articulate how we are going to overcome the following:


A defense that is statistically worse than it was last year.

A midfield that isn’t as good as last year.

A team that seems to be missing the leadership of Ilkay

When they can come up with an answer to these questions they can tell people to stop being so negative. The onus is on them to build the case. Saying we have gone on runs in the past is not a credible answer.

Debruyne will add leadership once he gets back. That will also improve our midfield. Who knows, kova and nunes could get better too. They’ve been here 3 months, I’m not expecting miracles. Defense is the big question for me. Need Ake on the left stones at cb

Glad I could have been of some assistance. I’m here to help.

It’s not though, is it? It’s your perspective. To be realistic it surely has to be rooted in logic and reason.

So tell me, rooted in logic and reason, as resigning Champions, why we can’t make a five point deficit up in 21 games. Not based on your gut feeling about why the squad isn’t performing, or the fact that something’s missing, but something tangible.

Only then can it be possibly characterised as realistic.

I’m all ears.

Anyone doubting this club and side is a fool.

The PL has never been stronger for me and the top sides will be dropping lots of points during the next 21 games, including ourselves.

The fact remains we are playing well within our capabilities and have so much more to show.

The only question is will we show and after the last decade of success , I for one have no doubt we will and I am sure all the chasing pack know that all to well,

IF and its only an IF we dont win it are we all agreed we would want Villa to, on the last day, snatched from the tarquins grasp and Emery breaking those cunting cockney hearts
