The Title Race - 2023/24

It's in our hands.

I was strangely more worried when Dias slipped than when Rashford scored!

If we can get results and navigate the hard games and banana peels like today.. we should be good and can hopefully get 90+ points even if we don't play our best.

It's hard to play like that Real Madrid first half everytime but c'mon City.. lets not miss sitters like that again!

There's the first tough fixture out of the way

When you look at it, technically we play at Anfield and then have a 2 week break before we play Arsenal, so it's hardly as though it's with a few days/a week

Newcastle at home in the Cup in between, but I don't think that's too much to worry about.

As shit as United were today, worth remembering they got a point at Anfield and are capable of doing the same at the Swamp in a few weeks time.

I've been resigned for some time to the fact that for us (Arsenal) to win the title we will need to win at the Etihad. I think City will get something at Anfield and anyway Liverpool aren't as good as City or Arsenal and that will show eventually. So I think it will come down to that game at the Etihad.

This season Arsenal aren't afraid of City like they were in previous years and if we are at our best we are a handful for any side, plus Arteta seems to be able to neutralise Pep and Klopp tactically this season. If City are at their best then we won't win at the Etihad however the fact it remains more of a possibility than it was in previous seasons is a good sign of progress.

Next week is ‘massive’, such a shame Jack is out. I don’t think Doku is the right call for it, I’d go Bobb or Kovacic for the extra control.

Kovacic is the call with Foden and Silva on the wings

Doku is so frustrating 95% of his plays he loses the ball or it hits the first defender

Might there be a bit of doubt with how Liverpool approach next Sunday?

We’ll be going to win but they might play for a draw a little at times? Which will help us

They've been playing for a draw against us for the past five years, so it probably won't make much difference at all.

We’ll see if Arsenal aren’t afraid of City this season in a few weeks.

Can't see it. Not on the cultists' home turf. They'll come out all guns blazing for the first 15-20 minutes. Weather that storm, then try to get a foothold in the game. Rinse and repeat in the second half, after their dose of inhalers at HT. We'll need strong characters next weekend.
