Who do you think will win the PL this year?

Post by icu81b4 » Wed Jan 30, 2019 9:09 pm

Yes, I know it's not really the top that we are focused on (yet), unless of course you're a betting man/woman, but I don't think Liverpool will succeed due to the lack of depth and it only takes a bad knock on Salah et al, to cripple their chances to stay ahead.

FYI, it currently Liverpool 1 Leicester 1 (HT)

Liverpool.

Seven points clear if they win tonite, and at this stage, that should be unassailable.

My god, how I would laugh if they blew it...

I can’t see liverpool doing it. 5 clear so I point gained if it stays the same. It won’t be enough.

Against City everybody wanted them to lose to keep the race going when I actually thought Liverpool had to win.

We play City 3rd last game better for us if the title is decided by then,these midweek results keep Spurs in the race just,but they can't afford any more slip-up's,Spurs however have to visit Anfield and the Etihad yet,so unless they pull rabbits out of hats there,they are rank outsiders.

City will take encouragement from the Scousers dropping home points,and i'd still back them to come up on the rails and nick the title.

Another way to look at tonights Liverpool result. Had they won it’d take 3 games for City to catch them. So in theory 4 to 5 points difference has changed things. City got away with one last night.

City will win it.

And as much as I dont like Pep, there is only one Pep. There are millions of scousers!!!! For that reason I hope City (or Spurs) win it.

I’d like Liverpool to win it, just for a change. Expect it to be City though although Spurs are churning out results without key players

Edit: would Liverpool of won tonight if City won last night? Suspect they would.

Everytime I think that City have the upper hand they flunk it. However, I still think they will pip Liverpool, and possibly be fighting for 4 trophies come May. Pep is the master of fighting on numerous fronts. And his players are hungry, and good enough, to fight for the full whack. And City’s squad is much, much better too. Either way, I think it’s going to be exciting

Pool have just drawn 1-1 with West Ham, (and they were given an offside goal), Just 3 points clear now.... Pressure is mounting.

Next games Everton v City - Wednesday and they could go top,
Pool vs Bournemouth on Saturday.
And you can't discount Spurs yet!
I'm hoping Arsenal have nothing to play for come the 12th May.

Liverpool are out now imho. Yes there top but since the turn of the year they have been poor. Look desperate and anxious on each game. It was written all over their faces during the second half.

No matter how poor Spurs/City play there better players can have some kind of influence on a game. With Liverppol theres are Firmino, Mane and Salah. Apart from the goal scored by Mane they offered nothing.

I said Liverpool before a ball was kicked, but I'm starting to have doubts. The injuries at the back haven't helped, but if you bully their midfield they don't handle it well.

I've never wavered from saying Man City although had Liverpool won recently at the Etihad it could have all been over. Despite a wobbly patch, I still think City are the best team in the league by some distance.

West Ham should have stuffed them last night and they would have done if their finishing had been better.

I don't mind Pep. I also don't mind Klop. Both Pep and Klop are good for the EPL. Yeah, all managers moan and whinge when it doesn't go their way - so nothing new here. I also feel you need to have a certain arrogance in your own belief to manage at the top.

City go top on goal difference having played one more game, Pools next PL game is against Man Utd, that should be a good game to watch.

City must be favourites now,that destruction of Chelsea was frightening for the rest of the league,and they know how to cope with the pressure.

I said at the beginning of the season City by 15 points, whilst I don't think the margin will be that big now I don't see Liverpool winning every game and I don't see City losing again
