BloodIsBlue 291 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I am less confident now than I was when we started the game, tht was really poor from us and we surely cant win 4 games on the trot playing like that Relax we can do it!

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 we win all 4 matches, we WILL win the league. that is all.Considering everyone has that (well, City with two more), the odds are perhaps not in our favour. I still believe it's City's to lose, especially when we beat Liverpool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you also have to remember, most those guys now know how to win a title. Especially in such a dramatic way. They don't actually have a hurdle as big as us and Liverpool. Also key is, our trip to Liverpool and our last game of the season is away. The only time we've lost this season has been away.City finish at home to West Ham, who are presumably safe now so West Ham will have no trouble taking an ass whooping. Liverpool are at home to Newcastle who are exactly like West Ham and have nothing to lose. We've got Cardiff who are fighting by the skins of their teeth to avoid relegation which means they're going to looking for a win more than anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 we win all 4 matches, we WILL win the league. that is all.Am I missing something. Man City have two games in hand. If they win both, they go 1 point ahead of us, so we are still relying on them to draw one more game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to balance our resources in the curucial pool-altetico week + he has to find a new gameplan that let us win away matches more comfortably.

I still believe it's City's to lose, especially when we beat Liverpool.City already lost it. They wont even beat Sunderland midweek. Its Liverpool to lose. I dont think we will beat Liverpool, and I think our players will be more concerned about UCL semi-finals. Liverpool probably will get a massive 3-0 result.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Liverpool again getting all the decisions and "luck". It seems the powers that be are hell bent on giving them the title this season. How Suarez was not booked for diving and sent off for a second yellow, I will never know. Man City should also have had two penalties. But I can't complain because a Liverpool win suits us the most. Still, one can't help but to hope for a fair ref when we go to Anfield.

lionsden 4,689 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 In recent times, scoring lots of goals and basically outscoring your opponent has been the key to winning the league. The last5 winners have generally being the highest scoring team in the league. man utd got by last season by outsocring everyone as their defence was god awful and liverpool are doing the same again. Hope I'm wrong regarding lfc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 City really are under pressure since its not theirs but Liverpool's title to lose after today's result. Now I'm pretty sure they are going to drop points at least in one of their remaining fixtures. Plus, if Yaya misses out, its gonna be even difficult to bridge the gap between defense and midfield. We just have to focus on our games and the title is ours. Us- Pool at Anfield is going to be the title decider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's all relevant. You're right though, your post was on the assumption if we win all 4 games, which does make Liverpool irrelevant. But your conclusion is wrong if City win their remaining 6.. Which I believe they can do with Aguero returning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we will beat Liverpool, and I think our players will be more concerned about UCL semi-finals. Liverpool probably will get a massive 3-0 result.No way they will score 3 past a mourinho side. Honestly, they might have good, fast attackers, but playing without a real defensive midfielder like today, was a huge gamble and could easily have backfired. It will if Rodgers does this again vs us. We have more pace than City and we can punish pool. Suarez, Sterling and Sturridge running at our Matic-shielded record defense strikes me with less fear, than Hazard, Willian, Oscar running at a defense with Johnson and Flanagan that is protected by Gerrard. We got more experience in the squad and we got Mourinho. Liverpool and Rodgers know nothing about winning trophies. Their only advantage is our fatigue.

But I agree with your thought process. Fatigue is the biggest issue for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
