Premier League 12/2/25 - 16/2/25

Even from the away games, only Villa is really difficult. I genuinely did think Arsenal stand a chance but I also believed Liverpool have tougher fixtures left. Clearly not.
I think if we find a way to beat Villa and City (and beat Wolves on Sunday) then it's probably over.
 
It's a shame it's an injury hit Arsenal side chasing them. I remember Arsenal collapsing big time after they drew a game 2-2 in 2008. It can happen.

Yeah that was when Birmingham equalised from the penalty spot right at the end which led to the famous Gallas sit on the pitch. Eduardo picked up that horrible injury earlier in the game.
 
Said it a couple weeks ago. Michael Oliver will have a say in this title race, same as he did last year with many of the City decisions.

Liverpool need to just keep their heads down and do their thing because this guy is a few crazy ref decisions from putting Arsenal in or as I suspect letting City back in.
Did you watch the game?
 
Odd game, not many chances and don't think Liverpool created much other than goals and than shot in last minute of first half (Szoboszlai). Also Salah shot towards the end. Everton's best chance when Doucoure was all alone and had that header. Glad for Everton (not just because it was vs Liverpool) to get a result in the last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

Liverpool fans will be gutted but it's still 1 point gained as it was game in hand (and they often draw at Everton). On the other hand, it does give Arsenal bit of hope.

Next 5 games:

Liverpool - Wolves (H), Villa (A), City (A), Newcastle (H), Southampton (H).
Arsenal - Leicester (A), West Ham (H), Forest (A), United (A), Chelsea (H).

Think Villa away and Newcastle at home could be tricky for Liverpool. City are too poor defensively so wouldn't bet on them stopping Liverpool. Arsenal have decent set of fixtures with Forest away being most difficult. We're awful at Old Trafford so would suffer against them as well, and Chelsea aren't that great. Arsenal have to grind our results before Saka and Martinelli are back.



Have they got that mentality to grind out results?
 
Thought overall we were okay yesterday and unlucky to be losing going into that last minute equaliser. Felt like we dealt fairly well with Liverpool and could have had a penalty. More points on the board at least.

Only thing worrying me is just how long Ndiaye will be out for. McNeil is already missing and Ndiaye is our best threat and creative outlet. :(

Also get fecked Jones (again) and Slot/VVD. Bitter wankers.
