Title Race 18/19

[Roboklopp]

Don’t have the words

[Chris]

Totally different circumstances this time though.

In 08/09 we had **** owners who didn’t allow us to consolidate.
In 13/14 we were overly dependant on one player who then left.

Now we have the right owners, the right manager and a genuinely brilliant team.

We def won't be going to **** this time, ya can barely find better anywhere than our goalie, full backs, Virg and attack and Naby and Fabinho are coming right in to it now too. I get why people fear it but we are stacked with quality everywhere now. Whether it'll ever be enough to overcome financial dopers who are probably also bunging refs is another matter but we should defo put up 90 points plus again next season.

think part of me would be fine with city scoring early on sunday as couldnt be arsed with anymore heartbreak

[Exiled_red]

I didn't watch it, just saw the result and it was as I expected. City haven't looked like dropping points they were always going to find a way.

[BobTheCharmer]

Tried watching a film. Checked score at half time, nil nil. Then on 59 minutes. Same. Then on 88 minutes. ****ing cunts. Feels like it's just never going to happen. It is the hope that ****s you. Work tomorrow, cant be arsed. So deflated even though I expected it. They havent conceded in how long now?

We'll probably play better at times next season and lose more. VAR is going to make it even harder.

So so heartbreaking.

- City away 2-1 and we were cheated when Kompany didn’t get sent off and the universe conspired against us to the tune of about 20mm

Just watched the highlights - you couldn’t make it up, an absolute worldwide by Kompany and other than that Leicester looked pretty comfortable. Added to that if Ineacho had any composure he’d have taken a touch and probably got a pen.

I’ve made peace with it now - we are brilliant but this is a year too soon for us, we’ll win the lot next season.

We need to go out this summer and buy more firepower. Lose any of the front 3 and we suffer where Abu dhabi FC have Sane, Jesus and Mahrez.

Just look at the state of the front tomorrow with Bobby and Salah out.

[Rafa Justice]

Couldn't give a toss about tomorrow, that was done last week.

100% agree, we have some depth but the quality is not there

we have been very lucky up front all season. tend to agree.

[Shaggy]

Lost for words after that. He could try that another 100 times and not one would go in. Heartbroken, it's all over. **** end to an amazing season.

[Patricks_Berger]

We did our best. Just lost our way a bit February for some reason. Hopefully Klopp will learn

[BobTheCharmer]

Yeah despite a great season and city's money we had it in our hands and having built that 7 point lead let it slip. Such fine margins. The 2 draws with West ham and Leicester were poor, more so the West ham one. We weren't at the races. Utd and Everton games also stick as we did little to force a goal. I think for a time there the not losing took precedent over going for the win. Shame. I don't see us ever hitting quite the heights again but maybe we will. Big season next year. Still slim chance on Sunday.

How is that function going?

I saw the first half. Went to an Alliance Party celebration party. Making NI more Liberal is tough work with minimal resources but last week's councillor results were a mini victory.

It's actually staggering how small party budgets are.

I'll tell you were I stand at the start of the season. We've a very solid base but key players stayed fit nearly all season. We need to be more resilient and I've had too many scoops to detail the holes in the squad but there are some.

The narrative out of the squad is we won't spend big but I'm hoping we do as we should have 100m plus sales and a good margin on wages next year. Naturally saying we're ****ing loaded in the media and we'll be going large wouldn't be the smartest of things to do.
