I’ll get slaughtered for this, but I think we’ll be third.
I can see us dropping points against Man U and Spurs, possibly Villa. Don’t think Man C or Arsenal will drop any more.
Needless to say, I hope I’m wrong, and I’ll keep on hoping until it’s mathematically impossible, but that’s how I see it right now.
Luckily, Jürgen and the boys don’t think like me
I think we won’t win the title if we don’t beat United. I’m apprehensive but still hopeful. We should be able to beat Spurs and Villa aren’t what they were (although still time for that to change). TBH, the 3 away game in a week, especially the last two so close (Thursday, Saturday?) are a bigger worry IMO.
I also think we’ll need 92 points (ie only drop 2 pts) to finish ahead of Cheaty and I suppose it’s even possible (seems unlikely) that Arsenal will keep winning. So really have to keep winning and that means beating United. Feel if we are dropping points it needs to be in response to earlier dropped points from others, if we go behind Cheaty esp I don’t think we’ll get back in front.
Beat Man Utd then see what’s what. In a way it helps us that they are at home. Surely they can’t put ten men behind the ball, and they have to try to play.
At that point, if they come out to play, we will kill them.
Salah is fired up after getting subbed too, and that will help.
I think a lot will hinge on whether both City and Arsenal advance in the CL. That potential semi final between them will be two incredibly hard fought games and the possibility of points being dropped around those games hugely increases.
My gut feeling at the moment is that Arsenal are going to win it, they look like the best team. Comfortably the best defensive unit and an attack that is now clicking. I tend to agree with the poster above that we likely need to win all of our games, maybe we can afford one draw but hey, we’ll see.
I didn’t say we’d lose to those teams, I said we might drop points.
Saying there is no chance that we’ll do that is the real bollocks.
We lost at OT a couple of weeks ago if you remember.
I hope I’m wrong, but it is possible.
We need to ‘Watch This Space’… as an LFC supporter, we should all be wanting the Arse to meet The Cheaters and hope it derails their PL ambitions… Not sending anything that can be remotely construed as a negative vibe towards BM at this time :0)
