Why we will win the league!

Why have we been playing second to Liverpool for months? and I don't mean with the league table I'm on about the fixture dates. Are they trying to ramp up the pressure on us or something... Media, bookies have been going on about it's Cty's title for months and there's no shame in Liverpool finishing second if it ends up being that way. Pissing me off a little bit lol. Liverpool fans keep bragging every single week about how they are going to win the league, you have biased pundits (NBC is better anyway) and we seemingly have a nation fully behind the Liverpool cause.

Not only that but if Liverpool did finish second you would get the "It was bound to happen anyway" if City finish second we'll surely be negatively received right? Well anyway back onto the original point Liverpool seem to have had the play first advantage for a good while now. Liverpool play then we have to match their performance by winning. There's surely less pressure on the team who play first? I would see it that way anyway. The team who are trailing behind with games in hand, playing second each week seems to be a disadvantage and now they have even moved the Leicester game from infront of Liverpool's to behind it. Just sounds a bit odd.

+ Liverpool spent heavily in both of the previous two seasons and we bought Mahrez who doesn't even get into the team. Granted we did spend big amounts on great players seasons prior but so did Liverpool. I just don't see how we have been labelled the big favourites from the off.

Actually scrap the last sentence (i won't edit it out)

In fairness we didn’t last year. Obviously agree that we need to this year though!

Yes but this year we dropped points at places we wouldn't expect to . No room for error but we will be totally focused. Can still see the dippers slipping up though

They got lucky in a few of the game most thought they would drop points. Still think they will struggle more with wolves than most people think. Either way we need to be winning all three of our remaining games.

They may struggle with wolves, they may not, they may be lucky, they may not, but they will win. So, yes we need to win all three of our remaining games.

MY thought is they may rest players for Barca if we are still ahead which will give Newcastle a chance.

That’s an interesting thought, do they try to win both or focus on the league (which they want more but it is out of their hands)? It does make more sense to ensure that you have more than enough to get the 3 points whilst resting some for the tough Barca double header.
 
I hope Barca rest some player today and they go really strong against them in CL. Imo Pool has a very good defence this season if they can keep Barca at clean sheet in Camp Nou thats a huge thing.

Now we have the advantage of not being in the CL but can we use it to our advantage? I expect a very hard game vs Burnley where it still could be 0-0 around 70th minute and pressure will be huge.

We need a clean sheet imo or a very early goal to not let them sit back and grow into a big defensive performance.
 
The scouse cumts can do what they want, klopp will not rest players with 2 games to go and risk losing out, he play strongest in all 4 games and the mommentum they have kept up will mean it won't affect them if they do.

People need to stop holding put on a scouse tiring out or slip up, let's just do our job sunday and then go on to the foxes game.
 
Thinking back to the situation when 2019 startet off,
the current setup is like a present.

Leading by 1 point, all we have to do is:
Beat Burnley away.
Beat Leicester home.
Beat Brighton away.

If we would be offered that setup pre any season, we would immadiately take it.

If we get through this now, it would be incredibly tough by our squad and hard fought, especially in their minds.

Next season would be easier again I think. Dippers had an ideal season where anything went right.
Other top teams have much more squad problems and we won't change too much in our game.
 
If we beat Burnley , then we have the favourable remaining two fixtures compared to the Dippers , their delusion that Brendan and Rafa are going to do them favours is just a sign of their rabid desperation , and then throw in a tough couple of games against Barca , whilst we a full week to recover for our last two fixtures. Three points against the six fingered sheep shaggers and the pendulum swings massively towards us , even Fred Done will be paying out.
