The Title Race - 2023/24

[Phil1]

I agree on KDB but who's the other one who was out for months on end and is best in the world ?

We’ve missed Kev, Stones, Haaland and Walker at important points of the season.
I’m sure some on here just act daft for the buzz.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Hanging in despite major injuries, which nobody in the media rarely mention. All I hear is how many injuries Liverpool have suffered. I think we are still the most elegant and talented team to watch

Our defence is what worries me.

Leaking silly goals, not really keeping clean sheets makes me doubt whether we are able to grind wins out down the stretch.

Hopefully be proved wrong.

Big momentum halter that draw today for the Dippers.
It eases the fears of the unthinkable happening and them winning it in Klopps swansog season.
You'd have to think that ourselves or Arsenal will go very close to winning all our remaining games. They Dippers can't afford many more slip ups

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Time for City to put their game face on!

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Rodri was an important miss - 3 games, no wins.

Since our last defeat we’ve won 21 & drawn 4. I think we take more chances against teams that park the bus leaving us susceptible to transitions but we outscore these teams by playing that way.

I've a feeling arsehole will do it this year, the addition of Rice and them keeping their defence fit and strong will be key.

I would love it if we managed to win it but based on our performances vs the top sides I'm not sure we deserve it this year.

The points haul against the better sides isn’t great but the killer results for me are the Crystal Palace draw at home after they had almost accepted a 2-0 defeat and the two draws against a woeful Chelsea. We are still in it though which will be very worrying for both Arsenal and Liverpool. They will know they can’t afford a slip up !

Rodri was an important miss - 3 games, no wins.

One was a cup game. Huge though and self inflicted.

 

[Dunne's own goal]

Self inflicted… but somehow Rodri was sent off but VVD wasn’t yesterday for the same thing. Makes a huge difference that.

I see what you did there.

Rodri missed 3 league games, one at Villa for 5 yellows.

We need to turn that little stat around as I’d be extremely surprised if he plays any part against Luton

But it's what we do - and look at our run since December.
NEVER write us off

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Rodri missed 3 league games, one at Villa for 5 yellows.

Did he. Fuck me. Very costly then. We also lost the cup game so 4 games without him all ended in losses? Terrible that.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

:-)

 

[Tolmie scores]

They will

I think the Atalanta game may be a little tough after that - they are 6th ATM in Siera A not doing too badly

 

[Eoiyflem]

Zero relevance.
Idiots on here saying Liverpool and arsenal will win every game. Zero sense in that when they haven’t done so far.

Of course it has relevance. If you are saying (correctly) that dippers/tarquins are going to drop points based on the fact that they have done so in 9 games then it stands to reason by your logic that we are also going to drop points because we've already done so in 10 games. It's how we buck that trend that will be the winning, or losing of the league

 

[Tolmie scores]

What word do you think they would have used to describe it?

I think pre game they would have looked at a point being pragmatic - but obviously would go for the win...tbf they did, they just couldn't score more in the first half - one of those games for them - they will take a point and move on - we have Spurs away as well which is a graveyard for us in the League
