Guys a few weeks ago we (Arsenal) were 5 points behind City. Since then we've gained 7 points on you because you've had a blip.

There's no reason Dippers also won't have a blip - this isn't a vintage Liverpool team that's formidable. They'll go on a poor run at some stage.

10th May 2025. Liverpool v Arsenal. From a City perspective if you can go on a run (and you have a decent fixture list from Feb onwards) that game may be the one that lets City into the hen house.

City weren't brilliant today but also you lost to 2 stupid defensive lapses that teams out of form tend to give away. We were absolute dogshit a few weeks back and giving away those kinds of goals, now we look back to ourselves. I'm not sure why City wouldn't do the same and there were moments in the 2nd half today where I thought City showed glimpses of, well, City. 2 teams putting pressure on the Dippers and they'll crack. They always do.

'We don't let this slip'......

Liverpool have beaten Bayern, Real Madrid and City comfortably in the past few weeks. They're the best team in Europe at the moment. Like all teams, they'll have a blip at some point, but it won't be a major one. It's still early though, and Arsenal are good enough for a title charge.

Bayer.

Liverpool are really good right now, but have benefitted from playing weakened Madrid and City sides. Both Madrid and City would have been big favourites in the CL and the domestic leagues if they had their stars available.

Barcelona won 4:0 at Bernabeu and 4:1 vs Bayern. They have had more impressive results, playing with some kids too.

Anyhow. It's important to be the best come April and May, when games in November and December will be a distant memory.

That said, we ain't winning the PL, and the CL would be a bit too difficult to win without Rodri. Several players have to play like the best in their positions in the world for it to happen.
 
I'd back previous City sides to overturn this deficit, or at least push them to the end but this seasons side are not those City sides.
It's not just us missing Rodri, injuries, fitness issues, poor form , players past their prime & poor recruitment have all caused the perfect storm.
We'll be back, it may take a couple of seasons though so be patient
 
Just watching the Together documentary. Following the defeat at Villa last season we had 30 points after 15 games. If we beat Forest & Palace (I know, big ask at the moment), we’re only 1 point worse off at the same point as last season.
 
With all the games ahead..... and international friendlies.... it s important to reach top 8 of CL and bow out of the cup.....football is burning out players these days. We need a bounce back.... our challenge is not over but most unlikely.

Fat lady sings mind.

How many points did Liverpool have or Arsenal? Thats the key indicator, we're now 11 adrift, thats not where we were at the time last year.

The Leagues gone, this Liverpool side will not lose 4 games more than us by the end of the season.
Now need to concentrate on ensuring top 4 and having a good run in the 2 x Cups and the rest of the CL campaign and keep plugging away in the vain hope the scousers implode with Salah and VVD leaving in January and Arseholes doing the usual.

FA Cup is our only realistic hope of silverware this year but I would imagine even Salford must fancy their chances against the team we have been watching lately.

May have to win all 3 remaining games for top 8. That's the real shitter of the Feyenoord debacle.
