PL 2021/22 Season

[rudedog]

The league is done - but we have to remember how remarkably well the team have done to challenge to within two games of the season whilst getting to the European Cup final and both domestic finals, and winning one of them already!

AND there's more...

Losing our two top scorers half way through the season to the AFCON
Nursing our best defender back to full match fitness throughout the season
Integrating an 18 year old (perhaps prematurely) then seeing him badly injured
Dealing with the deaths of two parents (Klopp's and Alisson's)

I know all teams will have issues that I don't know about because I don't follow them but the above are pretty big deals even just by themselves!

It’s definitely not done

Whilst the odds are against West Ham taking points off Man City, it’s not impossible.

If that happens, as long as we win against Southampton that would take it to the last day of the season where City would need a win against Villa to guarantee them the title. There is potentially a fantastic epilogue to Stevie’s relationship with LFC, just waiting to be written.

Klopp asked us to be ‘believers’ and after what he has done for this club, I think this is the very least we can give him.

Believe

Even then we'll need Villa to go to City and get a result. No ****ing chance.

If WH and Villa both scrap their way to draws, and we win both, then the league is ours?

A loss and a win for city and it comes down to GD?

[Frog83]

and if Villa miraculously win by a single goal margin, by the last game of the season we might well need to score something stupid like 10 without reply to win it on GD...



Sadly, we're no Bristol Rovers

If West Ham beat City and Villa get a draw then we're champions (assuming we win both out games of course).

If West Ham beat City and Villa lose then we need to hope that it's only by 1 goal and in turn hope we batter Southampton and Wolves to claw back the goal difference.

If City beat West Ham then it switches around to hoping Villa beat City.

All we can do is focus on winning games, scoring as many goals as we can and seeing what happens. Would be nice to take it into the final day though, just to make City sweat a bit longer.

Would also be nice for Salah to put his scoring boots back on. In danger of being overtaken by Son at this rate!

Imagining the below happening and we win it on goals scored.

West Ham 1 : 0 City
City: 1: 0 Villa
Southampton 0 : 4 Liverpool
Liverpool 3 : 0 Wolves

City Points: 92
Liverpool Points: 92

City GD = 72
Liverpool GD = 72

City GS = 95
Liverpool GS = 96

I’d accepted it the other night.

But the Aguerooooooo! anniversary stuff today has made the thought creep back into my mind.

Would be incredible if we somehow did it on the final day like that.

Would obviously require some chaos in both of City’s games. Their equivalent of a Gerrard slip against West Ham. A Crystanbul against Villa.

Pie in the sky, but **** it. Have to dream.

The miracle result and title delivered by Stevie.
I always think of the day Blackburn won it, that was similar. Man U just could not score v West Ham. It's all but done but just that faint slither. It's pretty much impossible I agree. Either way next time we play in the League either the miracle is on, or the League is won.

Just vote Mo as he has a better chance of a Liverpool player winning it.

And bump up his transfer fee

And bump up his transfer fee

Being top scorer in a Quadruple winning team will do that anyway

Nah, he doesn't deserve it.

I prefer to whinge incessantly about Salah.

He’ll be playing the remainder of that PL campaign off the back of a mid season month off. Then, Summer International tournament followed by domestic campaign is the routine he’s used to and been doing most of his career. He’ll still get a short break post AFCON before beginning the next season, rather than going straight back into the middle of the campaign like this year. It’ll be a breeze compared to what he’s just done.

That said, if he could sack off the international football, that’d be ideal.

A "short break" post AFCON won't be enough after slogging away in the Ivory Coast heat for a month. Plus he's not getting any younger. Wear and tear of a career based on hard sprinting is not something to be taken lightly.

I wasn’t aware I was taking anything lightly. It was more about reasons to be optimistic about the spread of his playing load compared to what he’s endured this season.

Agree to disagree.
