The Title Race - 2024/25

[Damanino]

We are digging ourselves into a hole here. 11 games, 23 points, thats about 79-80 points over a season.
yet to play Villa, dippers, rags, Spurs two times can see some bogey results in there...

I am worried Spurs will come to the Etihad next game, use their pace and counters to hurt us and we fold easily these days. not sure some people coming back from injuries hadnt played for long weeks can help us straightaway.
3 PL losses in a row, can happen if we dont improve...
chance of some players come back injured due to international games is around 100% if its Haaland or Kovacic well...

we are in a puddle mentally and tactically as well. and all the injuries. but individual form of some players is horrible too.
wonder what G+A Foden will have once we reach half of PL games this season. 2 goal and 2 assists maybe? some players do that in one game sometimes...
about the same as our wingers.

I'm gonna go early, we're done.
But after 4 in a row, one of which included a treble, I'm easy.

Pfft; lightweight.

Worst case scenario we’re 5 points off the top. The title race doesn’t start til Easter and if we’re within 5 points then we’ve as good as won it.

That will be hard to do though because Liverpool will have 100 points by then on account of them being very unlikely to drop any more points

 

[M23 Citizen]

No Rodri back-up, no Haaland back up, players who would normally be squad players for us seem like they need to be important players… and that would still be a problem even if everyone was fit.

We’ll get players back but I think we are only an 80ish point team this season.

Only 5 clean sheets in all competitions, seems very much like the 1st season Pep was here

where is the supposed drop off from Slot changing Klopp. most reviews and predictions were about dippers likely have a transition season while their new manager learns into the PL. him winning the title in his debut season was even optimistic for some of the cultists over there.

it will be ridiculous if Slot with his Eredivisie experience comes in and delivers a title with 12 months of taking over from Klopp.

hope the dip in form is coming up for them soon albeit have to say did not expect this new manager start so well for them. especially after their transfer window where they only had one big target (Zubimendi) and failed on him. problem is Slot managed to get great form out of many players early on, something Pep could not yet this season.
fucker old Salah now 8G + 6A just in PL at round 11, which is more than Grealish, Doku, Savinho, Foden, Gundo, Bernardo combined. imagine if that is true over the whole PL season, surely not because if yes we are fucked

 

[DWIFF]

We will be 11 points behind the dippers on 1st December.

There's no way we're defending the title this season. Best we can aim for is to secure a top 4 spot. Then, in the spring, maybe make a push for the Champions League if everyone’s back to full fitness by then. And in the summer, we need to sign some top-quality players, no question about it.

Not pulling any punches today that was fucking DIABOLICAL, wow.

Slot is very possibly going to win the league because he has settled squad with a world class player in Salah and lots of goal scorers throughout the team. He has tightened Liverpool defensively and at the same time his two main rivals are underperforming. In our case massively so.

Liverpool will smell blood against us when we go to Anfield. Our midfield issues run too deep for a quick fix. Kovacic is a decent player but he couldn’t cover for Gundogan last season and definitely can’t cover for Rodri this season.

Liverpool will annihilate us on the counter if we play like we gave recently.

Maybe Klopp was a bit over rated, and built up by the media as some sort of Roy of the Rovers type managerial hero too much?
