The Title Race - 2024/25

[Quilted]

You honestly think Ipswich will get something from the game? I hope you're right, I really do.

Ipswich currently looking the better team

If City don’t get top 4 and a CL place, that’s £50mill as a minimum gone.

We’ll finish 6th but win the CL!

As a number of teams have shown over the decades, you don’t have to be the best side in Europe or your own league to win it. Liverpool won it in a season they finished 5th in the PL, Chelsea finished 6th and 4th in the two years they won it and Spurs got to a final when they finished 4th.

Liverpool supporter here who is coming in peace. History shows the only way to beat prime Peps Manchester City to a title is to blow out to a huge lead and break their spirit in the first half of the season. If it comes down to the run in then forget about it.

It looks like Slot is trying to adopt that same approach that Klopps team did to win the title and if we do win at Anfield then I think even you guys would agree we will be well on our way.

Despite bridgeno1 constant ramblings I think Arsenal are pretenders. They don’t have the bravery in big matches to fire themselves to a league title.

'Coming in peace' yet firstly copying my username and then trolling me on the forum in every post you've made so far!

Liverpool supporter indeed.

Don't worry, you have proven to be a well balanced and fair opposition fan, and we have a few on here. If your namesake "Liverpool fan" carries on hounding you I think the mods will get rid.

He hasn’t been well balanced and fair at all. He is a suck up who is constantly taking cheap shots at liverpool while pandering for approval and validation from any city poster who will give it to him.

This post might upset a few like yourself but there will definitely be a lot of people who agree with me and are sick of his antics.

Clearly not, which is why I think Liverpool are statistically likely to have a bad run. Remember when they were a shoo-in for the title after the City-Arsenal 0-0 last season and then shat the bed?

Clearly is, see's danger far quicker much more pragmatic - much better than Kloppity - who was all ego and little plan B for all that money they spent - and fk they did spend = 1 x league win in lock down - overrated manager imho

I said, at the start of the season, that if City played consistently anywhere near our best, we would win the title again. At no stage so far have City reached that level. Even in our unbeaten run we were letting sides run through us, not regularly, but often enough to be worrying. Recently it has cost us matches and yesterday we were nothing like the City of last season. The result is an 8 point deficit and our games before Christmas look potentially much more worrying than they did a month ago.

Injuries have much to do with our problems. Dias, Rodri, and KdB have been the spine of the team for several seasons now and none of them are available now. There are other injuries, other players are in poor form and maybe some have gone on a season too long. But it doesn't matter - there are no second chances in the PL. City have to solve the problems, begin winning matches again and eat away at Liverpool's lead.

Our advantage is that we have the man most capable of doing all this, as Pep has already shown, but things have to change quickly.

KDB needs to turn his face upside down for one, He's what modern bosses at work say is a 'drain' ...

Arsenal should win it but there manager and his neanderthal tactics, targeted Rodri and put him out for the season in our match, now chasing a manager that hasn’t spent anything like what he has, that game at the Etihad has probably backfired for Arteta in a strange way.

I think it was the first challenge on Rodri 40 seconds in did him - he took a heavy knock in the back of the leg probably before being properly warm really - I said at the time - that's a bad one - I don't think he shook that deliberate targeted foul off - a bad ACL players don't always come back from. I never moan at oppo's but i thought that tactic was nasty and deliberate - so it proved
