The Title Race - 2023/24

[Father Paul]

We'd need to be within 1 or 2 to really put pressure on them. That way go 1-0 up whilst they're still 0-0 and things start to ramp up. It also adds a bit of jeopardy in terms of going for goals over just winning the game.

Personally I just can't see it coming down to that, but I've been wrong before. I think if it's down to goal difference we'll remain on the wrong side of it.

We should just win our games instead!

If we do lose it on goal difference it will call into question the many times we take the foot of the pedal apparently to conserve energy for future games. I think you should always go for the kill when on top. For example, we probably should have won 6 or 7 nil last Saturday but lost a goal fucking about before getting back down to business.

How many times has the league been won on goal difference? And how many times do we look fresher at the end of the season than our title rivals due to squad rotation and taking our foot of the gas when the game is won?

I'll be more annoyed at the two points dropped against Palace before Christmas.

And also the Spuds and Dippers games that we should have won

Would absolutely love us to win big on Saturday. By five or six goals. Wipe out (there or thereabouts) Arsenals’s goal difference in one fell swoop. Reckon there’s a decent chance their arses will start going after that.

I feel that would apply discernibly more pressure than a comprehensive 2-0 victory.

Looking back at the last eight seasons have you, have I, got the right to question anything?

I mean, have a think about what you’ve said. As a City fan.

Think about where we’ve come from. Assuming you came from that place.

 

[Damanino]

we need high tempo and bit of pressing too and score early. last thing I want is a slow first half then less and less time and all of a sudden all their counters will be a sitter...

this is when City need to raise their game as much as its possible.

hope Haaland scoring 4 is start of a great run and he doesnt go blank for last 3 league games. keep them coming...

Absolutely

Those two games were heavily official influenced especially the home Dippers game.

Yeah I see Arsenal nailing them, like really badly. They're all wrong for the makeshift United defence. They're not going to cope with Saka and Martinelli running at them.

Martinelli has been shite lately, Trossard has been their main man
