Premier League 2023/24: Race for the Top

[SA Gunner]

This season, I think we should target 6-7 wins in the league, and go for the Champions League.

I think getting to around 88 points this year and possibly reaching the semi finals/final would be a great season.

I agree. The only thing I would say is you simply cannot neglect the other cups next year. Because no matter what anyone says it’s still a trophyless season.

Context is key and we have once again improved, but the facts remain. No trophies = failure.

Just win CL.
Winning PL this season will be so God like that AM will instantly burn.

88 points probably gets us the league.

Very high probability that it would especially with our superior GD

We didn't neglect the cups. We crashed out against West Ham in the small cup with a heavily rotated side, just like everyone asked for. We drew Liverpool in the FA Cup, so a big club was going out no matter what. Bad luck. For every time you luck out and get Hull or Villa in the final, you get a big club in the third round and anything can happen. It's not like we crashed out of cups to lower league opponents.

Sure we have a tough run in but this part of the season is where players have to step up and show us that they’re world class. I’m more excited about it than fearful.

If we win at The Etihad on the weekend then I genuinely think we’ll win the PL regardless of what’s in front of us. Beating City home and away is no joke especially as their last defeat at home was in 2022 and they’re 25 games unbeaten there

That's what I've predicted too. Means we can only drop 6 points.

Basically we need to accumulate the exact amount of points again as we have in our last 10 PL games. Those results were W8 D0 L2.

Our next 10 have tougher fixtures & the pressure will be increasing game by game. It's gonna be a tough ask, but the boys have last seasons disappointment as motivation..

City game is massive.

Edit: Our last 10 games all comps, our record is W9 L1 & only 5 goals conceded. We should be going there with no fear.

Where did this "Arteta luck" thing originate from? Ive only ever seen it on here

People with potatoes on their shoulders fighting the day before yesterday's wars.

“We’re still not a champion team”
“We need to win something this year”

We “need” to win the title off of Pep/Klopp? We •need” to beat Bayern, Madrid/City and Barca/PSG to win a CL.

Whilst I agree we need to win a major trophy soon. I’ve seen enough to realise we have an elite coach and an incredible football team. Furthermore the players are extremely invested for at least the next 3 years.

We don’t “need” to win something this year because of the context of the situation.

STFU.

 

[Synical]

Quite useful to see them side by side like this.

This is a bit old, but I think this is even better way to see the run-in toughness. Although have to take into account that Everton at this point had the point deduction.

 

[LookingForEric]

I expected Liverpool to win that but they look very very nervous. They’ve got a lot of games like this one at home now.

 

[King87]

Liverpool will not win the league

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Full strength City. AM will have you believe they are in injury crisis though.

Pep with make up. Most likely to cover how his nose really looks.

 

[LookingForEric]

Terrible result for City
Average result for us
Good result for Liverpool.

We move. 9 games left and we need 8 wins and 1 draw.

Doable.

I didn't really get on board with the idea that we had to win that, so a point gained for us. Win out next two and put pressure on Liverpool to win at Old Trafford.

Nice bit of Klopp luck that United play at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night before their game.

@SA Gunner

Changing my prediction of winning the league next season...think we will do it this year now!
