According to some general basic calculations....

And taking 90 points as the requirement for winning the league...

We'd basically need to win 12 out of our 13 remaining home games, and 10 out of our remaining 13 away games....give or take a few differences with the odd drawn game etc...

26 games left, 22 wins and 4 losses....quite an ask.

Time for one of our patented 11 game winning streaks!

No. I think we just have to do 4 points better than United and Arsenal over the remainder of the season. I think that will be easier to manage. You think too much Dj.

For the record, with Arsenal and Chelsea out of the way, 12 wins out of 13 home games remaining ISNT beyond reality. Aside from United, Chelsea and Arsenal, i dont see ANYONE else who should come to Anfield and be seriously capable of beating us.

Obviously ****e home draws have happened, but aside from the Chelsea and Arsenal ones, (the chelsea one too, if you wanna be picky), the ones we had shouldnt have happened.

It doesnt take an AWFUL lot of thought to look at previous seasons and take a fairly accurate, educated guess.

Yes and so too the other top teams.

I never look at we need x points to win the league.

It's all about challenging, if you're up there with 4 games to go then anything can happen. Teams don't react well under pressure, lesser clubs fluke points off better teams, refs give dodgy decisions which change a game.

I just want us to be there or thereabouts in April and then it's on.

We are consistently the best team in the league from November to May and one of the elite in Europe. Rafa should be drumming this fact into the players, we have done it before from this stage of the season.

impressive maths skills, did you get any help?

[scouse lad]

We have to play Arsenal, Manure and Chelsea away, which for me is going to be a huge ask.

I think that the title chase is going to be much closer this year less than 90 points will win the league.

That's the first time anyone has said that to him! :wink:

If we continue the trend of being the top points scoring team in the league from Nov onwards then obv we will come very close to #19

Quite possibly. Not MUCH less though. 80 wont do it. 85 maybe? Hmmmm.
