Some block from Rudiger to deny Mount at source.
Real Madrid 2-0 Chelsea, FT!
I do understand some self-preservation in the spirit of “it’s the hope that kills you”. But the title is not only still a mathematical possibility, it’s still in our hands. City are looking ominous but they could still slip. I’m going up to be pretty gutted if we don’t do it but also pretty proud of how we’ve done this year.Quote:

In reality City are only three pts behind because of a game in hand, plus better GD
They WILL beat us at the Etihad so it's done

And even then, even if they beat us they cannot afford to drop any points…and to suggest they definitely won’t well it’s possible but it’s not nailed on.
We are still in control of our own destiny. And you seem fixated on this one game which I repeat we didn’t have to win…it’s disappointing for sure that we didn’t and we got it wrong substitution wise. What seemed likely to me is that we would need to take something from city in one of the fixtures we played them to win the title, so that’s our shot. Anfield wont determine whether we win the title or not, it’s just a long sulk on your part…I did it when we lost to Everton which was more egregious to me than not winning at Anfield.
The worry is that City have our number and considering we’ve lost 14 times in a row to them or whatever it is, it’s hard to argue against that.
All to play for but the smart money is not on us. But hey, we knew it wasn’t going to be plain sailing anyway.
Everything else being equal it's a "must not lose" than a must win. And these runs have to end at some point. I am worried about the way we lost to them at home though. Last season we were brilliant against City and I thought the ref robbed us. Not this season. First half we stood toe to toe with them, second half they just went up a gear and ran over us. I fear more of the same in a couple of weeks. If you lose both games against your rivals for the title then you don't really deserve it anyway.Quote:
