The Title Race - 2023/24

Playing shit and only 3
Off top after a hard run of games missing pivotal players.

We’ll be there but we need stones especially to be available.

Concerning that he's been on the bench the last few games and yet we haven't seen him.

Hopefully he's fit to play 6 or 7 games over the next month.

Concerning we have had two home games against rivals and not taken advantage. We now have to go two places where we regularly get fuck all desperate for points.

Still a long way to go. We may have failed to get wins over Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal but we have to play them all again in the 2nd half and if we beat them all. We could retain our title.

Yeah it's disappointing we dropped 4pts from being in winning positions near the end of the game.

We might not be desperate. We're 3 points off the top, with the best goal difference, having been sloppy but unlucky in a handful of games.

Despite results, we've also been the better team against every one of our rivals so far. We're 2 pts back from this stage last season, and frankly no-one has looked like running away with it. Last season Arsenal were heading for 100 points at the half way stage of the season, but no-one is anywhere near that kind of form, or looking like they have it in them.

Think it’s between Arsenal and Dippers.
Arsenal look strong at both ends, and have improved their squad depth.
Dippers seem to be getting all the officiating help and have goal scorers throughout the team.
We lack the squad quality/depth this season and have seriously regressed from last season. Transfers have been poor, Pep losing his assistants each year clearly not helping and we just cannot defend anymore despite adding Gvardiol to last seasons squad in place of Laporte. We just do not have enough goal scorers in the team and are incredibly weak in midfield with no cover for Rodri.
3rd is where I think we will finish

We have more than enough goal scorers in our team. We’ve scored more goals than the dippers. We have 8 players who’ve contributed more than one league goal, they have six.

The only thing wrong with us at the moment is that in 3 games against reasonably strong opposition we’ve run out of steam near the end and conceded late equalisers. We all know that the conditioning work we do is designed to see us peak at the business end of the season - we won’t be conceding late goals in games that really matter in the run in as we’ll be in tip top condition just when our rivals are starting to flag.

We have drew three games and every one of them we should have won , we lost at Wolves a game we should have won , we were the better team in every game and created more chances than the opposition it isnt even debatable. The media can twist the narrative all they want we know how good our players, team and manager are , the only even game was the Goon game whcih should have ended in a draw there was very little between the teams.
Our fortunes will turn , we will cut out the silly mistakes and we will begin to punish teams its inevitable because we have the best manager in the world , we will be pissed off at the moment losing points to poor teams but lets see who is laughing in May/June next year.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Told you already, we won't be allowed to win it this year, playing for top 4

 

[ysmsa]

Tough run of games?

I’ll give you Villa but we then have

Luton
Palace
Everton
Sheff United

That really should be 12 points.

He means the games we have played, not the games looming.

12 out of 12 would be lovely.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Yeah it's disappointing we dropped 4pts from being in winning positions near the end of the game

6 if you include Chelsea.

Oh yeah! It’s been a long, cold and frustrating day. That second goal was a thing of beauty amongst the gloom though.
