The Title Race - 2023/24

[mancity111]

The title is in our hands. That all you can ask for at this point in the season. There will be blowouts and surprise results.

At this point, even a draw is a bad result!

However, Liverpool are clearly the favorites.
They are ahead.
They have only lost 1 game this season.
They have superior goal difference.
They play their big challengers at home.
Klopp has announced he’s leaving, so they have an even bigger PGMOL advantage.

Everyone can talk up City until they are blue in the face, but the fact remains that Liverpool have all the advantages this year and even though the pundits say it’s City’s to lose because we often go on a run at this time of the year, past performance is never a predictor of future results.

We still have it all to do, including still having to win the two games in hand! Even with the games in hand, we might be 8 points behind by dinner time tonight, with a banana skin match away on Monday night!

There’s nothing to say we can’t win it all, but the stats don’t lie…we are behind, 4 in a row has never been done, we have plenty of big games and plenty of 10 man defences to break down between here and there.

Onwards…

Too early to make any predictions IMO of note , bookies have us as favourites and again so what one might say.

If anybody can spoil the Liverpool orlay its City and currently we are well placed to do it.

Injuries will play a key roll they usually do especially to key players a number of twists and turns with surprise results to come no doubt impacting the top echelon.

Hoping for an arsenal win today

A draw would do just as nice

A win at Klanfield wouldn't go amiss either…..

Looking forward to Ham Salads return from AFCON/injury. For me, they're a better team without him.

The return of their talisman might just be the thing that ruins 'em. All it needs is a couple of draws whilst he beds back in, and we're away into the distance.

Scouse cunts.

Arsenal win please. Very few, currently capable of taking maximum points from Liverpool in this league.

Arsenal are more liable to drop points against weaker opposition.

Especially so, as we also still play Arsenal at our place and that will factor more dropped points for them.

A draw will do. It's usually the accumulation of too many draws which kills their title charge.

Dropped points in any form is always welcome, but Arsenal will drop more than Liverpool, between now and the end of the season.

For that reason, an Arsenal win would be absolutely fantastic for us.

And then a win tomorrow for us would have that gap at two points, with a game in hand to play on both of them.

We went to Arsenal we didn't play that well and it was like we were happy to get a draw we lost!

Liverpool will wipe the floor with them 1-4

 

[Coatigan]

I'd settle for that

Phew. You had me on the ropes there mate.

Why? What evidence points to them having a better second half to a season than us?

Just think they have more impetus than us attacking wise this season and creating a huge amount of chances? Not saying I want them to win it but just see them outscoring everyone along the way.
