The Title Race - 2023/24
- Thread starter MCFC1993
- Start date
The teams they're playing is somewhat irrelevant, as it's a mentality thing now, and today has just proved that both struggle when it comes to the crunch...
The teams do make a difference, but I do get your point.
Villa where the best today as they are a talented side who could take advantage.
The Liverpool game I actually felt was one of a number of games they have had like that and just today they didn’t get away with it.
My view for what it’s worth is Arsenal are the better team of the 2 but lack the mentality. Liverpool are not quite as good and have given lots of teams chances over this season but somehow limped over the line.

Strange how this weekend has completely flipped the results on their head! I honestly expected Arsenal to drop points over the month and Liverpool to hang onto us before we go on and win it.
However, we really seem to have hit form by scoring plenty of goals hitting 16 in the last 4 games. If it was Arsenal or Liverpool doing that, I'd be worried.
The fact is, the pressure builds on teams going for titles and until you've won one, it's VERY hard to win. The players have to go full throttle, not get injured, not get burnt out, play through the pain barrier and also it's the simple fact when you HAVE to win then it gets even more difficult. Teams you'd smash in November might now be playing for their lives, to finish top 4 and some players will be playing for new contracts, new moves or just with the absolute freedom of knowing their seasons done.
The absolute worst position for Liverpool and Arsenal is they falter as City hit form. Quite simply now, the titles in our hands and we're used to winning it from here by going on insane win-streaks. For the opposition, we will look unstoppable now.
We're starting to see some players hit a vein of form - Akanji, Stones, Grealish, KdB, Rodri, Foden, Doku and Kovacic are doing the business now. I know some have been outstanding all season but we just have too many good players now in form. It's incredible to say that our 'faltering' striker is out of form given his stats!! We even have Walker and Ake to come back. Incredibly, I think our back up keeper is probably a better all-round keeper than Ederson! Lewis and Bobb look like PL regulars - how on earth Lewis is 19 astounds me.
I said at the start of the season we'd win the Treble again and I still think we will do.
I've had a few texts tonight from Scousers throwing the towel in!!!
COME ON CITY!!

I agree with you mate there are definitely more points going to be dropped when not expected.
4 in a row trumps 2 in a row in Europe.
I know but going to Wembley (Sons 11 and would take him) to see us lift the CL would be special.
What a time to be a City fan.

They've been obsessed with the dipper quad, then treble, now er....If we win both games next week, there will be a lot of talk in the media about another treble.
It's gone under the radar so far.

And on the beach with nothing to play forSometimes that is a bad thing. Rested yes, but momentum and playing on a rugular basis is better.

Totally agree with this.Regardless of whether we win it or not to still be well in it at this stage of the season after everything we achieved last season is absolutely remarkable...and possibly the biggest testament to Pep as a coach and manager.
To me he's the greatest and to have the team motivated and to be playing play at the highest level in all competitions, every season, (and with every team he's coached) is just an incredible achievement.
He's still got some work to do this season, but i'm buzzing and can't wait for Wednesday & Saturday!
