The Title Race - 2023/24

[Inter Me Nan]

Defo not over yet but going forward play our best side till injury/suspension kicks in. Imo & I know people will have their idea of what our best side is and that's fine is...

Ortega till Ederson is available
Akanji
Dias
Stones
Ake
Rodri
Kovacic
De Bruyne
Grealish/Silva
Foden
Haaland/Alvarez

Not mithered who's upset at being left out just play the best side/formation and go for it, if it doesn't come off there's no shame in that we just need to stop putting the square pegs in round holes.
Rant over ha!

we will finish on 92 points, I am sure of it

It's impossible to finish on 92 pts. If we win all our games, we'll finish on 93 pts. If we draw one game and win the rest, we'll finish on 91 pts.

I think we'll draw 2-3 games: 87-89 pts. Imo, both Liverpool and Arsenal will drop more pts than us. The race won't be like that in 18-19.

Hope you are right. Think 91 pts will be enough for the title.

Position isn’t important right now. The points are all that matters and anyone giving up on a one point deficit with 30 to play for are cowardly as fuck.

There's a small but very vocal core of our fanbase that would prefer, season after season, the psychological security of saying we won't win to avoid the possibility of saying we have a chance and it hurting if we lose. Like you say, cowards. And getting to say "see, I knew 10 games ago we weren't going to do it" is a fucking lame "prize" to fall back on.

Grealish and Silva controlling from the wings, Foden and Kev allowed to roam in the middle.

Coming second will be a totally new experience for me

As long as the draw is not against arsenal.
We have to beat them

It's impossible to play the same XI and the same formation mate. Take our next 3 league games: Arsenal, Villa and Palace over 6 days, with the Palace game being some 60 hours after the Villa game. Pep will have no choice but to rotate. He'll use the whole squad.

I think he won't start Alvarez vs Arsenal. Hopefully Grealish will be ready to start.

Julian Alvarez
Could someone with the adequate means to do so just check if a 55.6% pass accuracy is the lowest ever recorded in a single game by a starter for a Pep Guardiola side? Might be worth playing him either in the right position or not at all because this in-between thing isn’t really working.
