If we get a point at City then we can also afford to get a point at Newcastle - and win the league by 1 point
We won’t.

I think we are going to have to get a point there I really do

All season I've been saying how vulnerable City are to dropping points but I just took a look at their run in

Leicester (h)
Arsenal (h)
Fulham (a)
West Ham (h)
Leeds (h)
Everton (a)
Chelsea (h)
Brentford (a)

If you had to handpick a series of games now against teams that have just about chucked it in or are dropping like a stone that would be the list. Leicester without manager and going down. Fulham haven't played well for over a month since they talked about Europe. West Ham and Leeds are both going for 5 apiece in those games, and the Chavs are anyone's away from home

Funnily enough a pumped up Everton who will need to kick and scream their way to a point are the only ones I see putting up any resistance and less likely Brentford if there is any hope of a Europa place

Our only chance was with a big buffer so we can go away to City and afford to lose. Xhaka has just cost us the title.

City favourites now too.

We’ll get fuck all up at city if we put in a repeat performance to that, we coughed up 21 chances today - we do that with Haaland about and we’ll get destroyed.

So much of the season now hinges on the fitness of Saliba, the chaos Rob Holding brings will derail any title challenge over 8/9 games.

If we can get Saliba back and Partey actually turns up we’ve got a chance against them.

Big ifs though and all the ifs are on our side unfortunately.

That really was exhausting to watch!

Either team could argue that they should've won it as both had the chances to do it. Fortunately for us they didn't take all theirs but unfortunately nor did we.

Ramsdale was outstanding top-draw all the way.

Not even sure about them now. Yesterday has fucked their chances of the CL

I’m looking at that Everton game too steveo, last season when Everton were in the total shit near the end they pulled out home wins against united and the chavs to stay up.

We need Everton to have everything riding on that game against city, crowd will be electric, 100 miles an hour rush ball. Won’t suit city at all. Everton already got a point at the ethiad this season.

Brentford away lat game too, just need Brentford not to be on the beach so hopefully they’re chasing a Europa spot.

I’ve been saying it for about a month. City will win every game. We had to be perfect as they will beat us and we couldn’t even draw one game.

A point today in the scheme of things isn't a disaster and for 40 minutes that was as good as it gets

The worry is that we were so easily swamped and lost all of our shape from 1-2 onwards. Ramsdale literally stopped that being a 4 goal hammering and all the same questions being asked again. Worrying

If they just had league matches to play then yes they will.
However the big factor here is that they are still involved in the Champions league - and I will be cheering them on v Bayern Munich.
They have potentially 4 CL games and an FA Cup SF to play before the end of the league season, which will not be easy.
