Were 8 goals behind City.

Could we realistically overtake them?

Assume City win they next 3 games by 1 goal margin, they will have 11 goal advantage.

Could we realistically win 5-0 and 6-0? We scored plenty vs Spurs and Arsenal.

Why not against Newcastle and Crystal Palace?

We've only once had a 5 goal margain this year. Only once scored 6 (and conceded 3 at the same time).

No, we won't win on GD. We can still win if City drop points. I think they will- it's up to us to not drop points ourselves. GD win- nah- that's not going to happen.
 
Nope. City won't win all 3 games by 1 goal and no chance we're scoring at least 11 without conceding <laugh>
 
Man City are averaging 2.65 goals per game this season. Thats a total of 7-8 more over the remaining three games. Can we get a combined 15-16 goals (without reply!) against Palace and Newcastle? Can we ****! The most we've score in one game all season is 6 (and conceded 3 too) and we're averaging 2.66 goals a game!

We need Man City to drop a point
 
Well I said it a few weeks ago!!! If it comes down to the last game and we need to beat Newcastle 10-0 what a game that would be!!! However i think we might not be able to get there this season but what a season!
 
Let's be honest we are not going to pull back the difference let alone overtake them. If we do win it it has to be via the points difference.
 
It would be the best league season ever - even our rivals would have to admit... if we pulled off beating City by Goal Difference from this far behind.
 
easy,

another 9-0 v Crystal palace and another 5-0 against Newcastle, job done <ok>

if only <laugh>

Assuming Man City only improve their GD by six goals
 
Rodger's whereas hasn't said we WILL win on Goal Difference has made a statement that kind of hints at believing that we CAN overturn City's goal difference advantage.


One thing is for sure- our "big Rod" has balls! Could be two really entertaining fixtures if Rodger's is really going to try overtaking City on goal difference.
 
Rodgers on us overturning City Goal Difference:

"If there is any team that can score goals and turn it around, it will be us.

"That will be our aim. We aim to score goals and be defensively strong."

"I have seen it before. Chelsea beat Wigan 8-0 in the last game of the season.

"I am not paying any disrespect to Newcastle at all -- but what we are saying is if there is a team that has shown it can score goals, it is us.

"We are not a 1-0 team. That is what gives us the chance. It's the team that scores the goals that will win.

"Manchester City won the league on goals scored a couple of years ago. That's why, when I came in here, I spoke about a team that could score goals because ultimately that is what it could come down to.

So whereas most of us think winning on GD is impossible- Rodgers has NOT given up and is going to go for it!

He's just saved Pardew the trouble of thinking of a motivational speech, just stick that pile of bollocks on the dressing room wall.

Incidentally he's assumed that you've also won tonight btw
