The Title Race - 2023/24

[Coatigan]

Klopp announcing his leaving was always going to be a 50/50 on whether it would galvanise them or put too much pressure on them. The last week has suggested the latter and it’s now that that pressure really ramps up too.

Still think there’s too long to go to know anything for sure though

It absolutely galvanised them, no doubt about that. It was just a question of whether that was sustainable, as the longer it went the higher the pressure would get.

That’s a dangerous thought process imho.
Yesterday was amazing for us but this is not finished yet.

Not if it’s the last game of the season :)

I think we can afford to lose one. Both Liverpool and Arsenal will drop points in at least one more game.

Quite like them going first for a few games. Will keep us focused.

I hope Pep has them all in a hail and windswept CFA for today’s training and is demanding ‘I want my warriors’ for the final push over the closing weeks of the season.

Wonder if Arsenal were playing us next week rather than a couple weeks ago, whether Farteta would park the bus or try play to win.

Yep that’s what I meant, it did initially but it was always going to be this stage of the season where the pressure ramps up that it has the added impact.

Bit him on the arse a bit now after Villa, which is nice to see

They've rode on that emotion along with the fans and every bad result has been dismissed as letting them concentrate on the league - the one they want. The players have to show up and work for it, and I don't know if they've got the legs or the ability to do so. I expect them to go out of Europe and I think they've got the easiest remaining games so they're still the biggest threat though. But like us, plenty of their games are away from home and outside of the rags they're the most hated team in the league so home fans will be desperate to ruin their farewell tour.

Drawing at home with Palace isn't for everyone.

Coming back to win it from 2-0 down to Villa at home isn't for everyone.

Congrats on 4 in a row. Glad its you and not Liverpool.
