In my opinion- if we are to have a realistic chance of winning the title....

[Peter]

We are going to have to win at the Etihad.

Our five remaining away games are City, Brighton, Wolves, Spurs and United.

Apart from us and Spurs, City's run in is as easy as you could ask for. Liverpool have a couple of tricky games at Villa and United.

We need to beat City :-(

Every sports hack and pundit out there are chomping at the bit to spout the usual stuff about our impending end of season collapse.
What better motivation do the squad need ?
What’s more impressive this season is what we’ve achieved without Zinny, Partey & Jesus.
Timber, also out for season alongside the regular sick notes, ESR & Tomi.
Would like to have Timber back for the final run in but not sure if this is realistic at this stage.

You have to contextualise the 'collapses' of the previous two seasons. Last season we headed into the last 9 games having to go to Anfield, the Etihad and Newcastle. The season before it was Chelsea, Spurs and Newcastle. This season it is City, Spurs and United. '

Tough games and key injuries made the job too difficult in the last two seasons. And we are facing the same tough games this time, battling two sides who may well not lose many points from here on in.

If we lose at City I think we will struggle to make up the points. We need to go there and win, purely to prove to ourselves and everyone else that we can.

Even if we beat City away :hehe: we’d have to win pretty well all of our other games as well.

Not a chance in hell, p.

We will win, Liverpool and City looked like defeated runners up after yesterday at full time.

Though logically we can't keep winning every single game.

4pts from Liverpool, 6pts from City, and we still lose the league by slipping up at Spurs and United.
Ok.. let’s not explore the misery of such an outcome.. :)

With the best defence and most goals in the league.
There is a difference though this year. I think we have winners in the team.

Would obviously love us to win it, if only to lose the 'bottlers' tag.

Can't see it happening though, tbh.

It is all being teed up for the Klopp Fawning Festival

Good Lord - Martin Samuel's piece in the Times today took things to new levels. I particularly took exception to him fawning over Kelleher (excellent keeper that he is) being outstanding as proof that Klopp is a genius while saying Ramsay is a bag of nerves, meaning Arteta is ****. Made a mistake for the goal of course (although great closing down by Wissa) but otherwise was very good. Just a very weird comparison to make

We don't need to do that; just until the end of the season :thumbup:

Rice seems a winner. Havertz has won the Champions league.

The 'winners' from City we have are not going to cut it. But they should be a good presence (but not so great last season when it was needed) and perhaps we are motivated by slipping away last season.

The team has a different look about them physically. No longer easilly bullied. Edit: Jorginho is also a winner.

lol, yeah. Saw that. Good old Wrighty!

They've got away with it, haven't they :-(

Still, good for us, I suppose. Best team, best manager AND they're allowed to cheat; can't really be expected to beat that.

They're not cheating, as such.

Just breaking the rules, that's all.

Oh, that's alright then. After all, people who break the rules NEVER prosper, as they say :-\

ah, I see. honestly breaking the rules...

[Peter]

ah, I see. honestly breaking the rules...

Well it is honest in the sense that they have done it blatantly, hugely, and out in the open.

Football is quite selective in terms of which rule breaking it considers cheating. Diving is cheating, but constant foul play isn't. I mean, it is, but we don't call it that...

My grandad used to say you can only cheat yourself. But then he didn't live to see the Mike Riley game at Old Trafford.....

Terribly harsh, imo. P's grandad started it.

My cricket captain used to say you can only ever run yourself out. Then he got ran out and blamed me. :-)

I always say you can't win the league if you lose at Old Trafford. And in my lifetime we never have (I think).
