The Title Race - 2023/24

[Inter Me Nan]

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.

Fair point, in the big games I.e. Arsenal/Villa/Champs League best side. Games like Palace/Luton/Forest he's gonna rotate.
Not giving up though, come on you blue bastards.

The Palace game time/date is an absolute pisstake. 3 games in 6 days is just completely ridiculous.

Very little room for error now, we need to beat Arsenal and hope the Dippers drop points at the Swamp. Personally, I think we will just come up short as those draws against Palace, Spurs and Chelsea (both home and away) will come back to haunt us.

Just how I see it

Are you guys excited to have a genuine 3 way title race ? Even if we (Arsenal) dont win it Im excited about the 3 way race. Must feel even better to win it knowing how close it all is.

You’d think they’ve done that on purpose

Glad we’re in it but I would’ve preferred City to win at a canter and break 100 points, title races are stressful, I just hope Liverpool don’t win it!

It never really began, but in my heart it was so real.

I enjoy them. While it's nice to run away with it, the Kompany Leicester goal, Villa comeback, and Aguero(oooo) moments are three of the most enjoyable/memorable/adrenaline pumping moments of my life. Pipping that excellent Liverpool side by a point, and your decent Arsenal side last season, feels better when you're on the beach at the end of the season. I know a lot of City fans dread them, but it's what I'm thinking about when I turn up to see a turdgid 2-0 in freezing December. Football is entertainment and escapism and a catch-up with my Dad, for me, and not much else so bring on the storylines. Helps that we haven't lost one yet, too, mind.

We were third in 2014

We were third in 2014

I’m not denying that just feel we are missing a bit of something this year and missing Ederson for 4 weeks as well as Grealish at this stage of the season is very unfortunate

I'd love love LOVE to win the league again this year but I think we have a stinker of a run in and it will be tough.

However it would also be nice to piss on the red shirts parade if one of them was to finally win the league in front of the crowds and we ended up winning back to back champions leagues.
