The Title Race - 2024/25

[vmsuhail]

That's spot on.

This team is not finished. 3-4 wins plus 1-2 quality new players in January could make a big difference for the rest of the season.

The main reason why many don't see the good things in our game, e.g., vs Palace and Juventus, is the outcome bias: a bad result means a bad performance. Several bad results mean the team is finished, Pep is finished, Txiki did a poor job, etc. Sometimes shit happens, we are unlucky and the results are bad.

Pep's main mistake in the preparation for this season is relying on Stones and Ake to stay fit. Their injuries make it difficult for the other defenders, as these are overplayed and get injuries or lose form. We need a new CB.

I don't think we have dropped points in any games we didn't deserve to.

Especially if we won the majority of the 115 charges too 8-)

City 115 in a row..

Christ there are some optimists on here. You have to remember it doesn't matter how many points other teams drop as we are dropping more ourselves. Have you not watched the last 10 games? We have less than no chance of winning that league and I will be genuinely astonished if we can get top 4!

I will return to this thread tomorrow evening to witness the reality sinking in!

Well I said I'd return to witness the reality sinking in.

We haven’t dropped this many points at this stage of the season since 2009-10. It may well be a year further back now as that stat was before todays rolling over.

It was never on this season, think about it . Now try and get top four and make changes in the summer and go again

Trent need not to worry about us this season

Can we create a “Relegation Race 2024/25” thread as it appears more pertinent at present.

 

[its a Barm]

It's so very sad to see hopefully we can see some changes incoming in January we can all live in hope.

 

[Damanino]

rivals will continue to drop points, but will not matter as we are not there to capitalize. I am getting worried about the CL place now. not getting to CL next season would be horrible for various reasons.

Klopp must be fuming he left and few months later City is basically on track to finish on 70 points at best haha.

we have yet to go to tough places like Spurs, Villa, Fulham, Old Toilet, Emirates and host likes of dippers, Chelsea, Brighton, Villa, Newcastle and to be fair in this current form even the likes of WHU, Everton Leicester can hurt us.

January transfer might help but what the guarantee they wont need the usual 12 months to bed in? it might be that way and new ones bring lot of mediocre games before we can rely on them.

After winning four leagues in a row, you have to have some faith that we can win the league again, especially against teams that have won nothing for a few years

Liverpool lose two games and we’re back

Not trying to be a smart arse but this was my whole point yesterday

Liverpool could easily lose two games whilst Arsenal have just drawn with Fulham and Everton
However, we need more than blind faith that everything will suddenly come good.

Pace and energy would be a start.
