Well said.
One we wouldn’t realistically have expected pre season.
We are top of the PL, CL and in a cup semi final this week…
Those contracts though…

Im not too sure high 80’s will be enough ti win the league this year, but I think 93-94 should.

I saw one simulation-based predictor suggesting we would win with 85 points, with an 89% probability. Arsenal was 2nd at 73. Staggering number of teams (8) with points totals in the 50s.

Absolutely but our target should be 89 points to wrap it up. 14 wins almost gets us there. Let’s start with one at Forest.

Why so defeatist?
Let’s go for 101.
18 wins and a 5-5 draw at home to Palace on the last day.

89 points knocks out Cheaty. We all know none of the other teams have the ability to go on a mammoth winning run. 14 more wins gives us the title - the sooner we get that into single digits the sooner the ‘chasers’ will give up and the better chance we have of being able to avoid a repeat of last season’s fade if we are still targetting multiple trophies

I think @SBYM’s point here is that we have to stop thinking ‘one game at time’ like those idiot coaches and players - looking at you Virg - keep saying. That’s clearly not the way to do it - if only they spent more time on TAN and less time listening to bald headed low countries dudes we’d walk it.

3 of our 4 next league games are away from home and we play against Forest, Brentford and Bournemouth - all in the Top8 of the home table.
Highly doubt we’re getting maximum points here and if I remember correctly the 2-2 vs United last season did something to us.

This is my big fear as well. The game last night felt like a combination of last season’'s draws against them - out of form side, one of their club’s worst ever, somehow summoning the spirit of their great sides to almost nick a win, let alone simply hold Liverpool to a draw. A lot of individual errors and then a total collapse of the side.
I’d be very happy with seven points out of nine. The fixture list isn’t kind on Liverpool but if the team can navigate those fixtures successfully, Man City, Chelsea, Everton, Aston Villa and Brighton remain of those difficult trips.

On the flip side Liverpool are the best team in the league away from home.

85 points will almost certainly win this league. That means we need to grab 39 points out of a possible 57. Feels do-able, right?

We have 46 from 57 so far, so yeah

If I’m honest this is what makes the next two games helpful.
We aren’t going straight into another cup tie plus the results leading up to it where very good. I wonder if it’s just typical of long breaks for us.
As I’ve said they’ve become the new Everton meanwhile Everton actually played well and got results against our rivals.

2 losses, 4 draws, 13 wins and we get 89 points.
I would imagine that will be more than enough to win it, and in all likelihood it could be more like 85-86 points to win the league.
We have some margin to play with, but ideally we put the hammer down and break the spirit of anyone who thinks they can challenge.
The focus should be on winning the next game, as ever.
