You clearly haven't watched citeh. They're not 'playing disciplined', this isn't us with our measured approach, they have been struggling to break sides down.
At the weekend they were SHITE. Seriously bad. They had tonnes of possession yet looked utterly toothless way worse than us. We played better this weekend than they did, they got a goal though, we didn't.
You're like chicken little at the moment, running about telling everyone the sky is falling.
But they got 3 points and continue to do so week in week out when it matters, that all that matters... we didn't. And struggle to do so week in week out at the moment..
Listen I hope we do, do it.. of course I do
I just cannot see it... The game against UTD confirmed that for me... We seem to struggle against strong opposition this season..
Too many things going against us right now .. Our midfield is the issue.. we are essentially trying to win the title with the same midfield that lost in the champions League final..
To stand any chance Salah needs to find last season's form.. pronto, fix the midfield, win all our remaining games and UTD continue with their momentum against city..

They zipped the ball around at much higher intensity than us. Their goal looked inevitable.
Sides we have struggled against this season
Napoli (A) Lost
Red Star Belgrade (A) Lost
PSG (A) Lost
Chelsea (H) Lost
Chelsea (A) Drew
Arsenal (A) Drew
Man City (H) Drew
Man City (A) Lost
Wolves (A) Lost
Leicester (H) Drew
West Ham (A) Drew
Man UTD (A) Drew
Munich (H) Drew
Everton (A) Drew
It seems when we face tough opposition, particularly away from home we struggle to break them down.. The complete opposite of last season
I think in any cup competition alone we are yet to get a result away from home this season
Failed to Score on 6 occasions, 3 in the league..
Whereas city have failed to score on 3 occasions, twice in the league..
Against Ourselves and Chelsea..

And, in the league, we have NO tough (top 6) away games left. And we've only lost once. To City. Whereas they've lost some real head-scratchers... And all we need is another 1-1 draw in Germany to be in the European Cup quarter finals...
But, we're obviously done for the season. Already. In early March.
This list also matches quite well to games in which Salah has failed to score
Yep. That 'small margin' this season has been Salah not scoring good chances.
If he scores at even half his usual rate in almost every match we've faltered in then we would be top of the league by a few points.
I'd argue that's the fault of the side/manager not ensuring we score a more healthy amount from the rest of the side instead of being overly reliant on the front three.
That said, in any normal season this is more than enough to win the league, so perhaps that's harsh. Equally so when you consider a couple of seasons ago we were finishing 8th or something.
This could easily be the first season when the team that finished 2nd has more than 90 points. Which is quite insane.
Yeah that's a fair point, the problem I think is that everything rests on City slipping up and our attack clicking again. Neither seem that likely, the front three as a collective have spluttered through this season, despite reasonable goals tally's from Salah and Mane, all just doesn't seem well.
Chelsea at home who we have failed to beat this season after 2 attempts which included being beaten at home, with a strong side in the cup and Spurs who we have won 1 out of the last 3 and drawn against them at home last season..
Chelsea in fact the last time beat them at home was 2012
To discount they are not tough games is very 'red tinted glasses' view
Come on.. be realistic

Fair to say we haven't looked as devastating in attack, and yeah, Salah has not performed at the same level (or scored as many goals), but I think "reasonable" is a bit harsh.
Salah has only one goal less than the current top scorer Aguero, and Mane is only behind Kane, Aubamalamadingdong, Salah and Aguero with 14 league goals.
That's a bit more than reasonable for those two.
Its fine margins such as this that will decide the title..
City have raised the bar, is all about fine margins now..
Somehow I don't think City will get 90 Points.
The less goals from Salah and Frim this season compared to last is hurting us as well as the lack of goals from midfield..
In thought Shaq could fill the void left by Coutinho and later OX, but that really hasn't been the case..
Imagine if our forward line was on fire with the defence we have.. We would be silly amount of points clear by now..
Really should have got that playmaker in the summer..

Oh they will.. easily..
Cannot see them dropping 9 points between now and the end of the season
More likely to be us..
Great thing though, hindsight, innit? Given the fees we paid (rightly obv) for VVD and Alisson, plus the stellar scoring season Mo put in as well as the quality of other attacking players in the squad, on paper at least, I don't greatly blame Klopp and the club for deciding to tackle this season with what we had further forward. It's become clear that we do need to strengthen there though, even if we do win the title.
I don't need hindsight. I said it last summer, and the one before and the one before that. It was obvious.
I have said that previously. Maybe 92 is what they’ll end up on. The fixture congestion will be the deciding factor. If they can still keep winning playing every 3rd day then fair play to them.
Yeah fair enough, I just mean it doesn't feel as "wow" as last season, but yes, both have more than reasonable goal tally's. Firmino on the other hand has been largely a disappointment this season.
Where do I 'discount that they're not tough games'?
My post was in response to your post about our poor away form. I simply point out that we have no more top 6 away games left. Clearly.
In an earlier post, I said that we WILL have to be on top form to beat Spurs and Chelsea at home. Jesus, you're so desperate for us to be finished already that you're inventing things that I didn't say.
Don't look at me. I also think he's gone off the deep end with this.
Signed Jesus.
Signed Jesus.
Apologies I mis-quoted you..
In still stand by my point though...
Chelsea will be the tougher of the two fixtures without a doubt
No need to apologize, I just don't understand your mindset.
We're ALL bricking it that City are going to keep cruising to the bloody quadruple... Of course we are. But, while most of us are quietly shitting ourselves AND still hoping for the best, you're reveling in it - I know Man City fans who come across as less happy with the current situation than you present on here, daily.
You may well turn out to be right... But why keep going on about it? If you are, will you be happy? It certainly seem like it...
We're all gonna die some day - That's even more inevitable than City winning the league... Do you just sit at home, waiting for that to happen too?
I just don't understand why, if there's no hope left, you're still bothering.
