Beat us at weekend and the leagues yours. We need to find away to survive until the caverly arrives in Jan, right now any team can beat us with a counter 😂

Brilliant performance tonight. When we have everyone fit we are very good. Sporting were poor but still a great result 

Odegaard x Saka is everything to our attack.

Title race is over if that happens. Can't see how Liverpool would be able to mess it up if they win next weekend.

I don't think that's necessarily true. Certainly Liverpool would be big favourites. But city wiped out an 8 point lead against us and Liverpool in previous seasons. A few injuries a bit of mental and physical fatigue and city could catch them. Plus Liverpool would still have to go to city.

Are you ruling yourselves out now then? I'm not sure this version of City is capable of going on the winning runs we're so used to seeing from them. That could all change if they sign some players in January, of course. 

Anyway, a win would be great tonight to see us almost there in terms of top 8 and would love to dent Madrid's chances at the same time. Have to say, I'm only arsed about City on Sunday though. Nice position to be in after having such a good start in the CL I suppose.

I think Arsenal if anyone are the ones who will be positioned to challenge for the league if/when Liverpool have a dip in form.

City look absolutely hopeless and blowing a 3-0 lead at home to a team who (no disrespect) are not an elite opponent just smacks of a broken team and that isn't getting fixed overnight. Sometimes a team can get a result like that after suffering a real shock to the system but they're running out of opportunities to use one of these results to spark their season into life. That's their reaction to getting humbled 4-0 at home to Spurs? It's not the reaction of a team that's positioned to get 21 wins and 2 draws from Christmas to the end of the season like they usually do.

No. I actually think we are capable of going on a really long run. And if you get a few injuries leads can be wiped out very quickly. But I think it's very unlikely we can can catch you.

Does anyone else think one issue City have is they can't play shit and win? It's normally not a problem because they rarely play shit. The thing is with arsenal and Liverpool is they can play badly and get outplayed but still win. I don't know if City can do that. We use to have that problem under wenger. Even when we were challenging and even winning titles we normally had to outplay our openent. Which you can't always do. Under arteta we can play badly which happens to all teams but still win.

Agreed. Would be a huge blip for Liverpool if they lost it if they were to beat Man City on Sunday.

Unless there's long-term injuries to Salah or Van Dijk or Alexander-Arnold (or a combination) I can't see them being getting overtaken, even this early in the season.

Whats happening now is down to Pep's pride. We can't do our high press while we have no cover in midfield and all the CB's injured or playing injured, we are getting destroyed on the counter attacks. if Pep let's his ego rule his head we are in for a rough 6 weeks until we can bring in a midfield in Jan and maybe a CB & RB with a striker so Haaland can get a rest
