The Title Race - 2023/24

[vmsuhail]

We've set ourselves up brilliantly for a title winning finish, only 3 points behind with all the big games out the way.

Spurs (A) and Brighton (A) are big games.

3 points in it. If we can find a winning formula and win our 9 games which Pep will try to do, we have a chance. That would put us on 91 points. Liverpool have to drop points twice. It has happened before. Pressure does that. In that scenario Arsenal would have to win their 9 games. Dropping points along the way would mean they only get 90. So it's all to play for. Bring on Villa

Facts are we are 3 points behind LFC and 1 point behind Arsenal. After gameweek 29 last year we were 5 points behind Arsenal. We are in better position in this regard this year than last, treble winning, season.

We are pragmatic. We try to control games, we struggle with creation, offensive patterns, but mainly because we want to keep it tight. Move forward as a unit, not through constant solo runs.

Our fixture list is overloaded and our best offensive player came back not that long ago after serious and heavy injury. Haaland is not at his best shape yet as well.

Something for something. We keep ourselfes in 3 competitions. Still we were a bit better than Arsenal truth to be told. Arsenal who are on the high. Arsenal who simply has a spectacular defense. But wait and see, Arsenal has tough games ahead and many examples its hard for them to keep top level twice a week. LFC is going to loose some points, they concede too many good chances.

Draw with Arsenal is not a lost. We loved how we destroyed them last year, but they are stronger than last year (Saliba instead of Holding, Rice) and we are not at the same place as last year just yet.

We have Grealish back (underrated absence), KDB gaining fitness, Stones soon back, we still have a gear to up our game. KDB will be better, Haaland will have a little more luck. Our full load is not yet loaded, but it might get loaded. And we may write a sick history. Meanwhile many of you are caught crying all the time.

It's not looking great but I ain't heard no fat lady!

Same here. That said anything less than 6 points between now and Saturday afternoon and I reckon we might be hearing the fucker clearing her throat.

Unfortunately now we have all these injuries it’s advantage Dippers and Arse

Thank you Gareth Southgate

Plenty of time to go yet.

The scousers could shit it. Arsenal will fuck up at some point as usual.

The next two games, Villa and Palace away, are the two most difficult to win: Villa because we have only 3 days to recover after a very difficult game, and Palace because we play them away and have 60 hours to recover after Villa...

Win those 2 games and we can win the title.

The scheduling this week is insane and I’d be amazed if we win both of those games given our injuries and the amount of games the players have played. Not to mention Real Madrid coming up very soon whuch could influence the team selection at Palace.
