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

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

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

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.
