The Title Race - 2024/25

[Damanino]

After December we can see clearly because we either stop the rot and reduce the gap or we lose to dippers and Villa as Emery will enjoy tactically hurting Pep he did it last season which our biggest beating imo based on chances they had and Palace away and the home games vs Forest and rags also some not straightforward at all. I am pretty sure at end of December the gap wont be 7-9 points, it will be brought down to 3-5 or we let it go even to 15-16 points assuming dippers continue to perform consistently which is the most important for winning the title.

so many issues in our team, in each separate position, GK, defence, midfield, attack has all issues and injuries, and the ones not injured simply playing anywhere between mediocre and awful since weeks. to magically turn this around in December, well not very likely dont see us getting more than a point in away games vs dippers and Aston Villa.

Just praying arse win it now but I fear it’ll be the victims and their new saviour.

You can't win titles without a great defense. Our defense doesn't exist. Teams are no longer afraid of us, they understand that if they just try, they can score quite easily. Anything can happen in football but I would be very, very surprised if we were in the title race until the end. It looks more like a race for top 4.

Mate, obviously it's in my interest for City's bad run to continue but it won't and Liverpool will also have a blip. Arsenal were playing like dogshit for the past 6 weeks but seem to have turned the corner and the last 2 performances have been on par with our performances in the run in last season. Why wouldn't City do the same? The players are still world class.

I've just watched tonight's City match- City were well on top until the subs were made but in many ways it was a freak result. City will turn it around and I'm sure will be champing at the bit to beat the Dippers. Don't forget these guys are serial winners with a winners mindset. They will be hurting and will be absolutely starving to turn it around.

Still think Arsenal will win the league.

Liverpool look the more stable.

Hope you’re planning on putting money on it. You will make a tidy little return

We gave just won 4 titles in a row with virtually the same team and it’s never been done and never will be done and now you can see the reason why 5 in a row is impossible as teans burn out and don’t forget your team has burnt out twice trying to go toe to toe with us and arsenal are suffering the same now aswell because on our day no one and I mean no one can live with us but we are cooked this season and if Liverpool don’t win the title it will be one hell of a bottle job . I do like your coach though .
