The Title Race - 2023/24

[waspish]

More than quarter of the season left and some fans think it's done! Funny things happen when it comes to the last 5/6 games of the season! Yep Arsenal look better than last season they were 8 points clear with ten games to go last season! It's Liverpool really where away they look like they could drop points every game but some how win! We get 90 points we win the league for me!

We need to be optimistic.

Ten games to go anything can happen.

Klopp and his kids with heavy metal football might be their undoing . Struggled against Forest last winners not sustainable imo one day they will hit blank. high energy dip in form incoming…

Arsenal have bigger hurdle winning against us without Rodri and KDB. Midfield missing Gundo and Stones only came on last minutes of the game. So reserving judgment til we faced them.

We been there and done that that but just win our games and when everything else falls in place.

Exactly this! No flapping yesterday team was resolute in defending and that was an improvement from high scoring draws.

Playing Spurs before Arsenal and Liverpool = gutted - we get them at their best - at the end of week they will be fked rocking up to Liverpool...Liverpool 6 : Spurs 0 you wait..whereas when we play 'em...well we know how it usually goes there. They are the king makers not Brighton

If we win next Sat we'll play a semi at Wembley instead of spurs,
and we would probably play spurs midweek before the final matchday.

I wish I was as confident in Arsenal as some of you guys. We always shit the bed vs City and I'd take a draw if offered right now. Unfortunately I see Spurs rolling over for Liverpool and fucking us over. The rags and Everton arent good enough to get more than a point and even then they'll probably lose to Liverpool.

I look at their team and that team definitely shouldnt be winning the league over us or you guys. I guess having Asthma is a super power these days. Certainly different to when I had it as a kid and couldnt run worth shit.

Ive already seen Utd fans saying theyre happy to throw their game against us if it means u or Pool dont win it.

They'll want to absolute fuck Liverpool over, plus we usually shit the bed at Old Trafford. But for me our 2 toughest games left are obviously City away and then also Spurs away. It will be like the Alamo at Spurs, they'll want to kill our title hopes and rush us from minute 1 whereas I think the City game will be intense but not as gung ho.

Funnily enough, Im not worried about Spurs if we are in the form we are now. I think our best is too good for them. They will play like its the world cup final but I have faith their gung ho style will be their downfall against us.

We'll never hear the end of it if Liverpool win it ahead of us and you, especially with it being Klopp's farewell season. As you say, City and Arsenal have better quality in their squads but unfortunately that alone doesn't win games and titles. You've got to go out there and do it on the pitch.

I'm actually more worried about Spurs away than City away! Don't get me wrong, City away is as tough as we get but we will go into that fully focused and with every tactical detail taken care of whereas Spurs away is an emotional wreck of a match with red cards and injuries that you often can't prepare for. I guess saving grace is that Angeball is high line stuff and so we should be able to engage the wide men well there.

With City, if their players are all 100% on it, particularly KDB, Silva and Foden then they'll have too much for us particularly if their best player Rodri (yes I've said it, for me Rodri is their best player over the others I've mentioned) has a monster match (I don't think they've lost for over 50 games when he's been in the team!). City are vulnerable at the back this season but if Rodri bests Rice in the middle it's all moot.

The 'form we are in now' is good but we've played some absolute garbage teams in that run. Wins against Dippers and Newcastle were good but we lost at Porto and scraped past Brentford. I'd have beaten Sheff Utd playing on my own.

Just need to bring the A game every match and see where that gets us. I still think we are a season away from being the real deal
