What do you think, do you agree with Andy Robertson or not?

 

There will be pressure on both sides, but there's a different type of pressure when you're leading. City will drop points at some stage, they are going to be playing every 3 days pretty much and already have a few injuries. They've looked leggy in their last couple of games. Who knows? There's ages to go yet. We need to sharpen up our away form, but now we need to go for it hopefully Klopp might throw a little more caution to the wind when we need to.

He should definitely start doing that instead of blaming it! (Couldn't resist)

 

You are right they will drop points but possibly only once or twice meaning you'll need to win almost every match. Run in isn't terrible but it's actually the games against soton & Cardiff that could be tricky as you never want to face teams deep in a relegation scrap at that time!

It's the same for City as well though, Burnley and Brighton could well need the points. Southampton away could be tricky, but we've a favourable run-in. Certainly on paper it's more appealing than City's. I just can't understand the hysteria - 1 point behind and 27 to play for - that's a quarter of a season. As we've already seen this City team can go from sublime to very beatable. Luckily we have 2 good fixtures to bounce back before we play Spurs.

 

The good news is we look like we'll be able to challenge for the title consistently anyway so if it's not this year, then I would hope by 2021 we would win it once as long as we aim for 90 points.

I'm 36 years old and have never seen Liverpool win the league (albeit I was around when they last won it but can't remember much about football as a 6 yo) and usually give up when they come close and just miss out as ever lol.

 

Think if city win this year it'll open up for the others next year as city will be obsessed with the champions league and they have shown this year they are beatable on certain days!

City could win the Champions League this year as well as the league - could plausibly do the quadruble. Can't see past Liverpool and Man City again next season yet, the others have a little bit to go to close the gaps. No doubt Man Utd will start as false 2nd favourites.

 

There's ages to go in the league yet, I honestly can't believe the drama from everyone, it's what I hate about how football is so 24/7 these days. 27 points to play for, City have already been beat 4 times already this year yet the title might as well be in Manchester? Absolute bonkers, it will go down to the last 1-2 games of the season.

If Man United start as 2nd favourites for next season then I don't think it will be false, since Ole's been at the wheel no team has got more points in the Premier League than us so if that form can be carried into next season then why wouldn't United be high in the odds? Ole will almost certainly remain in charge next season which will help.

 

 

The reason for the "drama" is that every non-Liverpool fan knows that if the title goes to Anfield this season then we'll never hear the end of it! It's why people want Manchester City to win it instead because they don't have as much history or strong fanbase like Liverpool. No one talks about last season's multiple record breaking title win for City nowadays so it is a lot easier to ignore for example.

Arsenal equally went on an unbeaten run this season and look where they are. Solskjaer has done a good job but Man City and Liverpool are better sides. Defensively Man Utd need to sharpen up if they want to challenge for the league. Starting to sound a bit like Spurs with their 'most points between 2015 and 2018' mantra!

 

The danger with that though is fast forward 20 years and we'll see Man City not far behind 20 league titles if things carry on the same.. be careful what ya wish for!

Haha it must be easier for united fans as like the other 'big' teams a lot of their fanbase isn't from Manchester so Liverpool are their biggest rivals at the moment.

 

With regards to Uniteds chances next year course they will be one of the favourites and usually the following seasons challengers normally break through between Jan-May showing their potential. I fully expect united to be challenging next year especially if they buy a decent defender and full back and others like Perriera and Dalot develop further!

Manchester United will always be Liverpool's biggest rivals and vica-versa, it's the biggest game in English football. There's too much history involved. It's why the notion of us 'bottling' it against Man Utd and Everton away from home is absurd. No matter how shit Everton are they always raise their game. Likewise when Liverpool were nowhere near the title we generally always caused Man Utd problems. Form goes out of the window.

 

It's easy to be in good form when you've absolutely no pressure on you whatsoever though. It's like when Kenny took over us after Hodgson, between Jan and May we were in terrific form. But the less said the better about the following season. Some great results, but they're still a way behind Liverpool and City imo. Sort out their defence and they're in with a chance of the big honors, but that's probably going to take a couple of seasons.

Solskjaer have said says Anthony Martial, Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic are set to return to the Man United squad for their match against Arsenal.
The Premier League is investigating Manchester City for allegedly breaching financial fair play rules.
Brighton beat Crystal Palace 2-1 with a great goal of the month contender from Anthony Knockaert to win the match. The way the Brighton players celebrated after winning the match would suggest that they'll probably lose their next match.
Yeeeessss done the double over Palace with two great goals.. Fantastic team effort to get the much needed win
Only Spurs could lose to Burnley, draw to Arsenal, beat the German league leaders away from home to qualify for the Champions League quarter finals, announce fixtures for our new stadium and then lose to Southampton within the space of two weeks.
At least Saints have finally got a win against a big club now after last week's disappointment.

They're doing their best to be playing Europa League football in their new stadium :lol:

 

That City decison today was absolutely embarassing. It's made enough they're financially doping, utterly farcical when they get decisons like that going their way.
