The title race

[Mase]

I have exactly the same feeling as during the season when Leicester won it. Kept thinking “they can’t keep this up”... then they beat us around xmas time but still somehow thought we’d have a chance.. when in reality it is already slipping away.

I think we all thought that during the season Leicester won it. I was sure Spurs would catch them.

We need to start making our own luck.

It’s far far from over but they look far more solid than us at the back and they seem hungrier than us. They have the results going their way when it’s not going their way (like the Everton game) and last season we powered through games like yesterday..

We fucked up really badly yesterday as they have two easy games at home now while we need to travel away. We put massive unnecessary pressure on ourselves and even in the best case scenario we will face them four points behind and can’t see us beating them unless somehow both KDB and Sergio hit top form in ten days.

We lost yesterday 100% because of arrogance and @#$? I hate the players for it today. That better give them a proper kick in the arse

Yes we can't just sit back and hope the vermin will implode. They won't.
Brendan Rogers is not in charge.

How funny was it when he was though

So, is the Title Race now on, or is it now over?

It's never been on. According the dippers I know they won it back in August.

Our head to head game is now make or break, we lose then we won't catch them as clipperty will have them buzzing and the luck they get will continue. If we win, it's their first defeat and I feel will change their mentality completely. Sadly can see them beating us, we haven't been great for a few games now, they keep getting away with some how not picking up injuries to key players

That's true, but they are really over reliant on two or three key players, Salah, Van Dyke (or whatever his name is) and probably Allison.
Any injuries to the former, they stop scoring, and the latter two, they start conceding.

That's true re: injuries mate, but so were Leicester with Vardy and Mahrez. But they managed it and so could dippers unfortunately. All ifs and buts, hopefully we'll do them at COMS and go from there.

At Wembley 1999, I wasn't one of those streaming out of the gates at 80 minutes gone.....

I think for quite a few here I suspect if it was anybody but the Scouse murderers (& rags obviously) they wouldn't be so bothered at this stage in the season given we're not even half way yet.

I'm far from panicking just yet

100% if it was Chelsea or Spurs or Arsenal I wouldn't be as bothered. But because it's Liverpool I'm dreading it!

Good man, was just wondering whose glass was half full.

I'm quite content with where we are but I guess there is the added concern that the Dippers have gone 4 points clear. Let's face it, if they carried on with this trajectory then they'd end up beating our Centurion points tally, and we all know how hard that is to achieve. Therefore, why worry, you can only say 'Well done' to such an achievement.

[Nick]

Yeah don't be one of those fans that left even before our second yesterday..

Not confident big beating Liverpool, but a loss doesn't mean it's over. Come on city !

One chap on our row staid while it was 3-1 but left at 3-2, because it was his usual departure time.

And to be fair, you have to say spuds are a fully fledged member of the title race

It all comes down to the top 6 table as the rest are not really competing financially. The top 6 will have the odd fuck up like we did against Palace but in the main we're seeing them scrapping for a draw at most.

It's Chrismas, way too early to think about the title.
Scouse have to get past Newcastle and the Arse before they meet us. Three hard games coming up for them.

Their all hard games mate but the quality will come through. Very early to talk about titles, I admit, but I do think it will come down to the games between the top 6. Win them, or not lose away, and we're in with a chance.

Then again, Dippers could do a 2014 collapse when the pressure is on. We'll see.
