Liverpool v Manchester City Post Match

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Maximum 114 points.

Doubt our record will be beaten in that case.

 

[Insignificance]

Doubt our record will be beaten in that case.

With 4 points gone already we can only get 110. It's a shame that City can win the league by as little as 85 points this season. We can't afford anymore dropped points.

None of his previous attempts were top left.

Anyways, thought it was odd Guardiola saying after the game he didn't know Mahrez prior record on pens. I thought that was the kind of stat he'd have branded into his cortex.

He did say though that he based his decision on seeing Mahrez take pens in practice.

Think he wants you to rate city's attackers

Considering they were as shite, if not shitter, I don't know what's to be achieved

The point I was making, rather vague though it was, was that the defences for both teams were clearly on top as Guardiola and Klopp had both done a great job (in addition to the players performing as directed) in identifying ways to neutralise the opposition. So it's maybe a little harsh to criticise the attackers of both teams too much, except for failures to the hit the target - but opportunities were few and far between.

OK - I've been thinking about this. Let's look at it this way :

At this stage last season (i.e. after 8 games) we had 13 points and we ended the season on 75; applying the same trajectory for this season, our current total of 20 points implies we will end the season on just over 115 points.

Do the same to City's projected total: after 8 games last season they had 22 points, and they finished on 100 - so this season they are heading for just short of 91 points.

PS Unfortunately finishing 24 points ahead of them means they pip us to the tile by 1 point due to that 25 point handicap we have to deal with, but at least it means we start the 19/20 season with just a 1 point handicap

I think I like where you predict we will score points that are possible the best 😀

94 points would be where we finish if our current 8 game form was replicated across the season.
Fuck all chance of that mind.

90 would be exceptional

Great. Expect us to be relegated now.

38*20/8 = 95

Maths (or more accurately arithmetic) isn't really that hard … grasp the concept & get it right
