No one's "bottled" anything, for goodness sake. This is a fans' discussion forum and what we discuss here has no effect on anything. People can talk about next season if they like.

People can talk about next season. In another thread.

This is about chasing the title for this season. Summer transfers and next season have nothing to do with the here and now. Does it?

Fergie once used the term Devon Loch when it came to bottling, we this season or in 2013-14 have not done a Devon Loch. NOWHERE CLOSE.

Whether we win the league or not this season I will be proud of our boys. If we don't win, it won't be because we bottled it, it's because City were the team with the most points.

No bottling, no Hollywood narratives - we were just not good enough.

Ohhh if there was one word I could erase from football...

City are being investigated by UEFA.  Pity the FA haven’t got the balls to do the same ay.  It would make our job easier to win the league if them cheating Cnuts got docked ten points.   :D

I can’t see City winning at palace, Burnley and United
If they do then fair play.

Just one opponent left that we haven't beaten this season. Shows what we are capable of. But we so need to step our game up and finally find our form again. It felt like we haven't even tried to play our football most times this year and I can't wrap my head around as to why that is. No patience on the ball, too much patience against it and just so many sloppy passes and bad positioning/decisions.
I'm fully convinced the lads are going to leave their heart and soul out on the pitch and just hope they play to their potential as well. That's all we need for no. 19 (well, that and a slip-up from City of course). Just don't know how much that is to ask right now...

We've played with more discipline, we've played more conservatively less open, and it's why we're challenging for the league.

But to say we haven't tried to play our football is incorrect. You can't amass the amount of points we've have without trying to play ''our'' football.

No heavy-metal football. Uninspiring team selections. Playing like a team closer to relegation worries than the team that had dominated pretty much every PL team we'd met up till the end of 2018. But then, we destroyed two other teams in amongst the poor run. We've become a real Jekyll & Hyde team.

As some don't seem able to grasp a point within a wider context, I was talking specifically about the fear and timidity we played with against Man U and the BS. A defensive midfield, lack of a high press, not committing players forward to support the attack, playing Milner in place of TAA against MU.

With the weakened starting lineup and further injuries they had in the 1st half, and the fragile confidence and general shiteness of that Everton team, both were there for the taking, yet we seemed feared to death to go for the kill. THAT is more akin to a team worrying about relegation, than a team needing wins to chase the title and who had destroyed almost all other PL teams we'd played in the first half of the season.

We'd beaten Leicester, West Ham, Man U and the shite before playing them in 2019.

Maybe I put it confusingly. I meant to say in 2019, not this season. First half did feel like our football although it was more conservative. Because it was well prepared in all aspects of the game and it had moments that were just so LFC. Struggling to find that since the turn of the year though.

Could be a variety of reasosns. Injuries, intensity from December/November, viruses/illnesses, loss of rhythm due to the gap between matches and just it's hard to sustain the level we did prior to the start of the year. We've had a mixture of performances, and because City are a behemoth and have won every single game since they lost to Newcastle, it makes it seem a lot worse than it is. Obviously we need to win games, but it's not like we've played poorly in every match.

Not every single one of course, you're right. But way too many. And just the way we played, there was nothing really that showed who we were. We can go out and lose every game, that's no problem for me. But the way we were playing or the lack of playing rather is what upset me in essence. Like, I support Dortmund, too. And Spurs may have beaten us again in the second leg but the way we played in the first half was incomparable to nearly anything we have shown the past couple of weeks. So I'm perfectly fine with the result, keep playing like that and the wins will come. And when they don't, nobody is going to be upset.
So for me, it's all about the "how". Although we can't realistically destroy this season as a whole in my eyes, unless we fuck up completely in every single game that is left.

I’m surprised by the number of people in here who are having a meltdown after dropping behind a point after a couple of sub-par performance (albeit decent results in isolation). You only have to look back 10 games to land after two woeful City performances Palace H, Leicester A - form doesn’t dictate future performance. Since then City have W9 L1 in the PL with games against Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton & Chelsea included. That is the kind of response Liverpool are capable of in the next 9 games.

Both sides know two things, they will be favourites in every single game they walk out on to the pitch, and every side will be desperate to take points off us in the midst of all the title pressure. Here on in is simply about nerve, all games can be won, any game can be dropped. That’s the beauty of it all. I think we are all in for a hell of a run in, twists and turns in handfuls. One game at a time, stay in the race, and anything can happen right up until the final kick. Season 11/12 taught me that. Enjoy it!

It's the manner in which we've not scored that is crushing. A defensive-minded Man U, that was totally disrupted with 3 forced subs in the 1st half and their CF hobbling, and we sat back playing timid football. We played a pretty awful Everton team, whose confidence was paper-thin, and we went with a defensive-minded midfield, played timid football, and all this allowed them to grow into the game, then we made some peculiar substitutions that gave us nothing.

This on the back of two fear-laden and very poor displays against two mid-table teams (one at home).

We had players like Henderson and Sturridge in those games. Think not having Keita settled into the team is a big issue for mid field creativity.

But then, we destroyed two other teams in amongst the poor run. We've become a real Jekyll & Hyde team.

We are probably victims of our own success. We've been very dominant and won a lot of games but how quick some are to forget this when results don't go our way for a patch. To use your reference to a relegation threatened team: If we were in the relegation zone, and only 1 point separated us from safety with 9 games left, you'd be absolutely crazy to think that your season was effectively over and you were going down. Similarly, 1 point is absolutely nothing with 9 games to go and chasing the title. These lads have come so close that I think they will fight tooth and nail and take it right down to the wire.

The reality is that in such a demanding league, its very rare to see any team dominant for the entire season. Man City just had a very rare season last year, perhaps as rare as Arsenal's invincibles, or the old Man Utd double and treble winning sides. Aside from a few small examples, nearly every title race has seen the lead exchange hands multiple times and seen the top 2 or 3 teams have predominantly outstanding form with small patches of very ordinary form. We have been no different, and in fact so have Man City this season too. I don't think we can necessarily then conclude we are a Jekyll and Hyde team on the basis of a handful of perhaps disappointing results.

As for timid football etc. well certainly our style has been very different to what we saw last season. That is why we are so defensively solid now. It is up to the coaching staff and the players to collectively strike the right balance between defensive solidity and risk taking/chance creation. Hopefully that will happen within the remaining games. Nevertheless, we have made remarkable progress over the last 24 months and the team that is taking shape looks like a team that could consistently challenge for titles and trophies for years to come - rather than just have a year of success, as we have seen in the past.

City win tomorrow and the title is theirs ...that will be the typical pundit shyte I expect and also some of the crap we ourselves will be posting. Knee jerk reaction is never good which is why cool heads are always the key in a mini crisis and we are a long way from a crisis. By the end of next week we should be 2 points ahead again and hopefully that is the case but no one will be handing out the title until May thats for sure so whatever happens there is no need to panic and lose the head. Its just a game and win lose or draw most of us have to get on with life straight afterwards as no one else is wiping my ass (yet thankfully).

Lessons in Love:

I'm sure if Manchester City suddenly lost two in a row (while you're having orgasms) but then we only get two draws at the same time and manage to overtake them by a point, you'd be more concerned that you failed to win the league in a heartbeat masturbation, and that this Man City monster is still lying around in the corner waiting to pounce and eat you up before you pull your pants back on.

Poor boy. It's time to learn the lessons of a Premier League title race. Listen to my master, Rick Astley for advice:

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna…

Took a while to get the derby result out of my system but I'm back to being confident now. The way I see it, it's been a season of quarters. City have had the better of the first and third quarters of the season, while we bettered them during the second quarter and ended up top of the table.

It's now a question of which team is better equipped to finish the season strongly. I have a feeling we'll see the benefits of our two mini pre-seasons during these last nine games, and produce our best quarter of the season. City on the other hand are already looking a bit leggy (albeit grinding out results), with injuries to key players.

Poor boy. It's time to learn the lessons of a Premier League title race. Listen to my master, Rick Astley for advice:

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna…



Great! We've dropped 4 points in 2 games and now we've been rickrolled!!! :no



Not all he's had to say on the matter, mind... ;)

and here's hoping, come May, it's a case of together forever and never to part...

That'd be nice but not according to my projections. Even weeks back, I had us go 4 points behind tonight... and then with the Manc Derby, Crystal Palace and even the last game we surpass them.

There's been a few other title races with a similar swing, I think about a decade ago when Chelsea overtook Man Utd something like this happened. When we say the players don't have the experience, the fans also need to admit they also need to do their research as they clearly also have no experience, wetting the bed with every lost point.

We just need to regroup and remember we are a point behind. Forget the fact we could've had a larger points advantage etc and think about how we are going to play with freedom and enjoy each game. We as fans also need to chill out a point is nothing, if we were chasing top 4 or second and were a point behind we'd be super confident.

This man city team have great players and should steamroller most if not all teams in the league but they don't and they are prone to Moreno moments. Its not over and we will win it! Come on redmen

I think if they fall behind they’ll fold. Cant see them getting anything the useless bastards.

Would have had more hope if Watford were at home. Watched has the past few games hoping for an upset then got mad at average 1-0 wins. Think il skip this game

Anyone know why they have made 7 changes and appear to be putting their reserves out?
I think the same, can't stand him, but if you could have a £1million pound cheque or steve bruces head hollowed out and filled with pound coins which would you have?

To concentrate on winning a trophy I assume, FA Cup up next for them.

Disgraceful. Routine for city really. Team changes prob won’t matter
