The Title Race - 2024/25

How many points to win the league?

Bit early for people to jump conclusions. If it was four consecutive losses in the league I’d be concerned but it’s not. It’s two league losses.



What I can’t believe is that we’re entering an international break again. Feels like it’s all the time now.

Would completely agree with that if Rodri were available after say January. Him missing the whole season makes the comparisons with previous seasons a bit lame.

This doesn't mean we won't compete for the title, as Liverpool might have bad periods too. They had a really bad finish to last season and it is premature to think that they will easily go above 85 pts. This season, 85 pts might suffice.

Anyway, we should sign 1-2 players in January and hope that the likes of Foden, KDB and Haaland hit form. If, and it's a big if, they play like top 10 players in the world, we are likely to compete.

cause of Rodri there would not be any great margin, but we can win it. Nothing i have seen last couple of weeks, bar maybe Bournemouth, made me thing we are not still the best team in the league. We have the best system of the play, you can easily see this, nobody creates from a positional play as much as we do. With time the fitness gonna be better, players will be back. We are going to be there in the fight, we gonna defend our title till the end. Rodri has given us additional edge, but we are still just ahead in my book.

With Rodri we could win 10 games in a row. Without him that's unlikely. We'll be less consistent. Maybe we can win 85 pts. If several players make a big step forward, we can compete. If we sign Zubi and he hits the ground running, then we can dream. But right now it's a bit premature to think we are the best. Rodri was vital for a reason, more so than some imagined.
 
If someone other than Haaland doesnt start scoring we won't be in the title race much longer. For all our midfield and defensive woes if our attacking players could stop fucking about and start to notch a few goals we'd be top. Football is a simple game , you score more than the opposition. You can invent as many different systems of playing as you like but that doesn't change, ever.

Yeah, but we watch games. We are very good for least say 60 min of each game. Its rather about fatigue. Thats been said, Rodri is obvious element, so so crucial.

But just maybe when everybody are back we will see how 2 games a week looks against a single a week game team. For now its a main difference, we control games as long as we can maintain intensity
