If we won 28-0 in our next 2 matches, we'd still be behind Arsenal on goal difference

We're competing with a 1.5 Bn pound team with 115 charges managed by one of the best manager ever. Wouldn't surprise me if we still didn't win it.If arsenal don’t win the league this year then I don’t think they ever will. They’ve been sensational this season.
Not getting outshined by a Scotland with Scott McTominay as their top scorer would be a good start.Actually getting to the WC would be a good start.
Pretty much everyone bar Palmer have been terrible. Says it all that people have even forgotten about Mudryk and Sterling...And Caicedo and Diassi and Badiasheli and Madueke and Jackson and Cucurella and Fofana and Lavia. Maybe I missed some others.
The penalties were dodgy as and they've no Palmer today. I'm not sure I'd call it a bottle job.This makes our performance against Chelsea so infuriating. We should have won 2-3. Chelsea are a nothing team right now and we lose 4-3 to them. Serial bottlers we are.
I know that, based on watching the teams play, City have been a bit overwhelming and Liverpool look like a side punching above their weight.It means City or Liverpool is better than Arsenal throughout the season.
Unfortunately, that's the nature of the league now with 115 charges. Campaigns that in previous years would have won the league are not quite good enough with the nation state cheats usually winning 15 in a row at the end of campaign.I hate to nit pick during such a convincing performance... but if we were ever going to give Saka and Odegaard a rest, surely it's at 5-0?
Sterling I can get, he was great at City and was a logical signing. A lot of others were just random signings and some more were way overpriced.Pretty much everyone bar Palmer have been terrible. Says it all that people have even forgotten about Mudryk and Sterling...
A quarter of a billion on Enzo, Caicedo, and Lavia. Two who have been average at best, appalling at worst and the third has less than 30 minutes game time this season. Insane.And Caicedo and Diassi and Badiasheli and Madueke and Jackson and Cucurella and Fofana and Lavia. Maybe I missed some others.
We're miles behind them on that and we're only 3 points behind them. They've been battering a lot of sides and keeping far more clean sheets than City and ourselves.If we won 28-0 in our next 2 matches, we'd still be behind Arsenal on goal difference
Outshone.Not getting outshined by a Scotland with Scott McTominay as their top scorer would be a good start.
A big occasion to piss on our hopes, they will be up for it. Think they're only missing Udogie tooTottenham could decide the destiny of the league
We've not been sensational. This is the weakest PL I've ever known. Yes, we've been really good at times; but whenever we face a coached cohesive team, with class players, we've been found out.If arsenal don’t win the league this year then I don’t think they ever will.

They play all three teams, right. Might go all out against Arsenal, then easy against other two teams. Or not.Tottenham could decide the destiny of the league
Totally happy for you, man...
Also we had more possession so I am going to consider this a moral draw.
You took 4 points of both City and Pool and you think you've been found out whenever you have faced a coached cohesive team?We've not been sensational. This is the weakest PL I've ever known. Yes, we've been really good at times; but whenever we face a coached cohesive team, with class players, we've been found out.
I thought we learned quite a lot from the tie against Bayern about the weakness of Arsenal's tactic already. When it works it is pleasing to the eye for sure.I know that, based on watching the teams play, City have been a bit overwhelming and Liverpool look like a side punching above their weight.
I'm talking about the quality of football displayed anyway. Ultimately it doesn't mean anything if you don't get the most points (taking aside my bias against Liverpool and City).
Oh come off it. I've said it on here many times, over the course of the last 2 seasons you've been the best team in the league. In terms of dominating performances, style of play, the only thing missing is a trophy and I don't think many people will disagree including City fans.We've not been sensational.

It’s now or never I believe. You’re much stronger than last season. Think the Villa loss will cost you though.We're competing with a 1.5 Bn pound team with 115 charges managed by one of the best manager ever. Wouldn't surprise me if we still didn't win it.
I’d say you’re stronger than last season. You’re very good defensively. How is this the weakest PL? Last seasons was weaker when it was a 2 horse race. This year it’s a 3 horse race. You managed to avoid defeat to city this year, been good against the top teams.We've not been sensational. This is the weakest PL I've ever known.

There not the only well coached teams in Europe and regardless, that doesn't mean we've been sensational. Happy about tonight, but still a long way to go.You took 4 points of both City and Pool and you think you've been found out whenever you have faced a coached cohesive team?
Typical Chelsea, only like whiteTweet

Refusing to say Trossard's name as well. Maybe the admin can't spell.
How can you be the best team in the league without trophies? We've always had a dominant, beautiful, passing playing style barring 3 or 4 years of the last 25 seasons. Let's win some cups first and then we'll call ourselves that.Oh come off it. I've said it on here many times, over the course of the last 2 seasons you've been the best team in the league.

Stronger defensively this season due to our defenders gaining experience, and with Rice's addition. However, in terms of overall cohesion, I think we looked better last season. Having an extra team in the title race doesn't mean a stronger league. If anything, it could suggest the opposite.I’d say you’re stronger than last season. You’re very good defensively.

Don’t know how you work that one out but alright then. Surely more teams challenging for the league/top 4 places make it an harder league no? You have teams like Villa and spurs in the mix now for top 4 so that’s more competitive in itself.Stronger defensively this season due to our defenders gaining experience, and with Rice's addition.

Ye it means city don’t have to lose to gift arsenal the league. They could draw 1. The only games city could potentially drop points in is the Brighton and spurs game. Think they’ll win all the restBig win for Arsenal and especially as it improves their GD even more and you'd think neither City or Liverpool can catch their goal difference which could be important factor at the end.
