The Title Race - 2021/22

[RandomJ]

We haven't won it yet but I am still surprised how easily we broke away from the pack. I thought we'd struggle this season without a proper striker but it just goes to show how class our players are and what a manager Pep is.

The answer to the thread title is:

However many we end up with.

It's in the bag, ladies and gentlemen..

We certainly cannot celebrate yet but the position we have put ourselves in means that L/pool and Chelsea will be under huge pressure not to drop a single point which of course is not going to happen. We will not be playing with that kind off pressure from hereonin. If anything I see the gap widening.

Do you actually bloody think that?

I'd rather you were just almighty bravado posturing than actually believed it.

Why not?
I think it too!

It’s already over, but beat Chelsea in 2 weeks time and let AFCON sort out Liverpool and we’ll be relaxing on the beach by February, able to rest players for the Cup and CL.

don’t be silly

I bloody love our winter winning streaks!

There's a long way to go yet. I don't think we're unbeatable, and I think both Liverpool and Chelsea will hit strong runs of form before too long.

Just need to keep pushing forward, relentless like we know how to be. I'm taking nothing for granted until it's mathematically guaranteed, and that's a long way off. But this is a great position to be in.

Just imagine the feeling of sheer jaw dropping horror for dippers and rags fans if we sign big Erling next week

There’s nothing silly about it!

Anyone who thinks Pep Guardiola would ever give up a 13 point lead in a league season is an idiot, lying or a desperate liverpool fan.

The constant “pretend we’re still neck and neck so we’re not cocky” thing is so small time.

I wonder what that does to your CL aspirations. Being on the beach so early in the season is quite an interesting situation to navigate.

Didn’t hurt last year, I think the competition for places in the squad is at the point now where we don’t need external motivation from the league table to have everyone going 100%.
