The Title Race - 2024/25

How many points to win the league?

Feels like 2016/17, Slot could easily do a Conte win the league because the main rivals are in poor shape. Arsenal v Liverpool for the league. Can’t see us winning purely due to our utterly unbalanced squad.

We should really have started a rebuild of sorts last summer but find ourselves with a midfield of KDB, Gundogan and Silva all likely off this summer with question marks over Walker and Stones. Regardless we lack legs and physical presence in midfield and can’t fix that until January unless Pep is willing to gamble on youth.
 
We look a complete mess basically this season and if we win the league with this current squad I’ll be fucking amazed.

The charges thing looks like it’s weighing very heavily on the club.

We are lucky to be second given how bad we have been but I can’t this turning around quickly. Where is the leadership. It was completely missing today.

For me, it's more like 19/20 when we had bad injuries, aging legends and some players in bad form (like Stones).

Might be a long season, but I believe the young players can step up and save the season.
 
We need to get our act together after the past week, the past three games.

From now until May it has to be 'heads down, no nonsense mindless boogie' and nothing deflecting us from getting back to basics to rectify this awful run we've been on.

No swanning about now, no tweets or social media or memes about 'problems' or 'best intentions', just get on with it, do the dirty work and claw this all back.

As Judge Edward Parry once said of his adopted city over a century ago:

"For Manchester is the place where people do things… ‘Don’t talk about what you are going to do, do it.’ That is the Manchester habit."
 
Agree it's not been peak City but people do realise the players we're missing, how long there is to go and we have quality all over pitch. Every other team will be thinking City still the team to beat.

If we leave Klanfield at worst 2 points behind, it's very much on.

Got Kev to come back, Foden to find form, Bobb a new signing in 25, hopefully Stones finds a 15 game run, Jack to come back, Ake not been fit all season, Dias niggles.

Plenty of reasons to think we'll win league again.

Arsenal’s average performance levels are lower than ours.

Its super tough to have a ready made substitution for Rodri. You cant take top players, cause they wouldnt play second fiddle to Rodri. Same for Haaland. You think somebody pushed Alvarez away? No, he wanted to be a star, first team player at daily basis.

Our league position does not kid anybody. Its a fact. We have 3 pts from Chelsea away for instance, what is a great result and lets see how many our rivals got there. We won there without Rodri btw.

Tough games ahead, yeah, but for our rivals too. They gonna loose points as well.

It’s a tough job getting standins for Rodri and Haaland - but that why Txiki gets paid handsomely.

We lost every game Rodri didn’t play last season. Not addressing this with new signings in the Summer was negligent.

Now cause of the injury the whole season - likely Peps last - has been completely tossed off.

Without Rodri we are bang average - we were last season - and exactly the same this season with an inferior squad.

What a waste of Peps last season. I fear it could get messy if results against Brighton Spurs and LFC go tits up.

"Now cause of the injury the whole season - likely Peps last - has been completely tossed off" - its happened already in Your life?

"Without Rodri we are bang average" - its borderline trolling. Its just so poor and inaccurate judgment mate.
