According to an independent pundit anyone of the six teams can win the 2021/2022 title: 1. Liverpool 2.Manchester City 3.Manchester United 4.Chelsea 5.Leicester 6.Tottenham
The first 14 and last 10 games were 90+ points form so it was very much title winning form. A fully fit and functioning defence will see us perform at higher levels again. Fully fit and functioning forwards will raise that further.
the first 14 was 9-4-1 which is 2.21 ppg or 84 points. As i said it wasn't good enough. the last 10 was 8-2-0 which in the same way was 2.6ppg. Thats why said we need to go better than the first 14 games. the middle games were 3-3-8. thats a disaster. you can't go much better than 2.6ppg. the target should be 90+ yeas but with at least 4 really rich clubs fighting for it i don't think it will be 95+
Errrr. If the winners had 86 and our first 14 (what I said wasn't good enough) would only get 84 then it was not good enough
That’s the whole point of the discussion. If you extrapolated our results from first 14 games…. Your can’t then moan it’s not realistic that results have changed
My point was "hopefully the form will be even better than those first 14 games. (wasn't ever good enough for a title race imo)" not only did you pick on a game not actually in the 14 but saint even pointed out city finished on a higher points total. IMO city had the title own and dropped off the top level to focus on the CL so 86 was them cruising over the line with their hands aloft like usain bolt I find the whole thing nit picking personally trying to prove me wrong when I was actually saying i hope our form will be even better than our start to last season which should be considered as an expression of positivity you negative Nora's!
It's not nit picking, it's more a understanding of terminology. A title race doesn't mean you win the title, it means you are in the hunt. What you're actually arguing is that we weren't good enough (form in those first 14) to win the title, you just didn't actually say that.
City's first 14 games weren't title winning form either. They went top of the league in game week 20 !
