The Title Race - 2023/24

[blueparrot]

People always comment about how Europe will test the squads of other teams.

We will be the squad tested most this season!

Last few games we’ve looked like a team from the early 90s when teams only had two players on the bench because despite having nine on the bench, we simply aren’t bringing any more than the odd one of them on.

And it’s not like we’ve got a huge injury list. Only three were absent yesterday (Akanji, de Bruyne and Stones), so even adding them in would still see us with the smallest squad of players that will be used regularly for many years.

When Nunes arrives and Camcelo leaves we will have 1 spare squad space and our squad is higher in quality than anyone elses too.Our squad really isn’t that small.

It is when you’re looking at players who are realistically coming off the bench.

Last two games you look at the bench and, other than Foden yesterday, nobody else was coming on in either of the last two games… and we were fucked at the end of the game last week, some were struggling to meet their mark before the Newcastle players were making the pass late on.

We’ve only got three out. Imagine if we had five or six, even with Nunes (possibly the most underwhelming signing under Pep, but that’s a different discussion) - which happens regularly. There are currently nine teams in the league with five or more players out injured (SheffUtd have 9; Chelsea have 10).

I’m not saying we won’t cope, but we’ll be tested most.

Our younger players Lewis, Palmer and McAtee are very good players, When available our bench could be 9 from Ortega, Ake,Akanji, Nunes,Kovacic,Doku, Alvarez,Lewis,Gomes Phillips,Mcatee, Palmer. Nobody has a better squad/ bench.
What would you answer be anyway we would only be allowed 1 more player in the squad.

There’s no answer as there’s no question really. What I’m saying is that we’ll be tested most as we’ll probably use the least amount of players, probably with a smaller amount of minutes spread than last season where our best player has come out after and said he can’t play as much again ongoing.

Joe Corrigan bottled.
Getting all clubs banned from Europe.
Stanley knife park.
Coaches with women & children attacked after City unveiled a banner supporting LFC fight for justice.
Scouting database hacked.
Club organised attack on players coach.
Booing Ederson as he’s stretchered off with oxygen.
Campaigning for City to banned from Europe & having Parry on UEFA board leaking to press.
Interviewing new Prem chief & making City being charged part of his brief.
Always the victim never their fault.
Crying about song’s & deliberately misinterpreting the meaning.
Throwing a pint pot of coins on a young girl & noone pointing the culprit out.

For starters……

And they can’t talk proper, scouse spitty accent.

Pretty confident we’ll be on 21 points before we play Arsenal. If they drop points before that and we go there and beat them (as always) I think we will just run away with it

Rodri is the issue, but I think that's addressed whith either Kovacic or Nunes able to play games there.

Everything before Christmas is just a case of making sure you’re still in the race. Don’t think you can read too much into anything after 3 games.

OK cheers, so its the behaviour of the club and fans then. Pretty much the same reason a lot of us down south don't like Liverpool either. Appreciate the heads up.

I just want us to win the first 7 before Arsenal away, once we beat Newcastle that looked doable.

Pressure will be on Arsenal to beat us if we do that.
