Premier League 2022/23

[Tir Na Nog]

This is the thing. Man City know how to close out a title race either as leaders or chasers, we don't. It's why they should be favourites for the title.

I don't think we'll collapse or anything but we're going to have to play significantly better than we have in recent weeks if we're going to win the PL. It's imperative we cut out the silly goals we've started to concede. They'll cost us sooner or later.

I don't remember them going into a run in being behind by 5 points, in 2019 I'm pretty sure they took the lead when Liverpool dropped points vs Everton around March, and 2022 they were leading and actually let Liverpool back into it. We've never actually seen them chasing a team a head of them, especially not by that margin. I do think we'll have to show some serious consistency and as you say stop conceding silly goals but I'm still not convinced City are going to be as perfect as some say. If we win our next 3 for example they may become demoralised if their hard work is paid off while also juggling CL and FA Cup which is more in their own hands.

Sturridge supports Arsenal because his childhood hero The Undertaker used to play for us, what a club we were back then!

Huh?! Were you drinking last night?

Mikel just needs to get into the heads of the players to focus on ourselves. Do the basics well. We need to defend much better collectively. Been shipping too many goals in recent games.

Focus should on getting a few clean sheets in the next few games. We have more than enough quality to score goals even without Jesus, Nketiah and Trossard.

2.42 points per game in the last 11 matches would give City around 26-27 points or 87-88 points in total.

This season is the lowest points total they've had after 27 games since they lost the league to Liverpool. Their average points total for this season so far is just under 2.26. This gives me hope.

 

[Paperino]

Those 2 points we got robbed off against Brentford might very well be the difference between ****ty and us when they now seem to be going on a run.

Don’t think I’ll ever be able to cope with that scenario

Can you just stop with this ridicilous nonsense? Man City was robbed at Old Trafford.

Would also like to know the corresponding fixtures in those seasons. I don't think they played all their big away games before Gameweek 27 like they've done this season.

Man City was robbed at Old Trafford.

Although I think that Bruno goal was dodgy due to Rashford's run, PGMOL didn't come out to say sorry "we messed it up" like they did with robbing us two valuable points when they "forgot" to draw the lines

Too much brainwork for me to look at that. In my mind they're not the juggernaut they have been in previous seasons. We do need them to have a deep run in the Champions League though. I'm still thinking they'll win the league.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Starting to feel tension a bit now. Hopefully the players will get the job done today...

Naa I'm capping, I'm actually a little nervous, I think it could be a tricky game but we've proven that we can come away with that W in hard circumstances.

I see a win today but it'll be tight, COYG.

We are going to do it lads. We are going to do it.

 

[dashsnow17]

Next two games against Palace and Leeds at home, should be looking to have 72 points from 29 games when we go to Anfield on 9th April. The max City can have by that date is 64. Open up the gap and keep them at bay.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

We are going to do it lads. We are going to do it.

I would add lasses too but feels a bit unnecessary

Brilliant.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Let’s hope City goes far in the CL

 

[EmeryCouldnt]

Beautiful, dominant game today against a decent team. Key players returning from injury. Survived February. You love to see it.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Step by step everything will be decided in April. Man city also will play lot of tough games so it'll decide who get the more points
