The Title Race - 2023/24

Looking at Liverpool squad and frontline can't see them dropping more that another 7/9 points and why we have to win at there's

I can see them dropping twice as many as 7 pts. They won't win 90 pts.

What makes you think this Liverpool squad can handle the pressure any better than their predecessors? The only way they win this is if we fuck up, which might be understandable given what we achieved last year.

They've dropped points in a third of their games this season. They are 2 points better off than us without having a major blip. They will likely be playing after us on most weekends leading up to the end of the season with the Europa League.

Hope your right but that intensity by the scousers will be in every game

They have a big squad, but 'that intensity' leads to injuries...Also, they are in 4 competitions and are likely to go far in the cups. There are some decent teams in Europa, and the games in April/May won't be a formality. They'll drop enough points. The question is whether we'll be ready to capitalise on their mistakes. I'm optimistic.

Imo, the front 6 of Rodri, KDB, Foden, Bernardo, Doku/Grealish and Haaland is potentially the best in PL history. We'll be terrific to watch, especially after January, mid-February.

the big added pressure on them comes from their own fans, they will suffocate them as their mass delirium has done in the past

Hate to say it, that was a good result and performance at an inform Bournemouth.

They are scoring for fun and not letting goals in.

Work rate and speed of play never stopped for 90+mins hopefully they'll be fcuked the last few game of the season

When both clubs have a full compliment of players City have a better starting 11 than Liverpool. However, the Dippers have a very good squad and they have proved they can cope without their star players. The key for City is keeping Kdb, Rodri and Stones fit, if we do we can keep the pressure on them.

Beat them at their place and it’s ours imo, think we’ve been there or there abouts in the past few seasons but need a stroke of luck/officials to have good games

Officials always have a good game at Anfield. Ask any Scouser.

The injuries only seem to come every two years. One year on PED’s one year off. Last year was off, this is clearly on

For us!

Underrated observation, imo. Went to rawk, they are over optimistic.

Think they underestimate City, which is not a big surprise, given that even City fans question the quality of the squad. It's exceptional, imo. Injuries to KDB, Stones, Haaland and Doku plus Rodri's suspensions have misled people into thinking we are there for the taking.

Yep we will be but then again we're box office all the time. I would put a wager most non-city fans knows our team back to front. I cant say the same for quite a few premier league teams.

I will be surprised if we can get win in their place.

It will be draw at best.

True. But..

If we can drop points, and in consecutive games, well so can other cunts

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

A lot riding on that game at the Emirates in a few weeks
We really need Arsenal to win that game and we win our next few up until then.
Going top of the league in early feb if this happens would be big
If Liverpool win at Arsenal theyll have some momentum behind them

 

[Odd socks]

For a in form team Bournemouth were slow all game, only time they moved the ball at pace it never amounted to more than 4 passes ( like a hot potato is how I would describe it).
Dippers are managing but nothing special for me.
Highlight for me was home crowd singing "your just a shit Andy Carroll" after the Shit A.C. had just scored his second.

Arsenal winning that game would be nice but a draw is the better outcome for me. Both teams dropping points is ideal for us.
I'll take either of those - agree that a Liverpool win would give them a big psychological lift.
