Our next 5 games...

[MartiSaka]

We gotta stay in close proximity to 2nd place and hope the 115 charges lead to a points deduction. Imagine they cop a big punishment and we are sitting 4th in the league amd Slot walks away with it.

5/9, we go again. Win the last 3 and despite the Fulham draw we still had a solid run.

We didnt lose the game though to be fair.

I think looking at your list there, it's more to do with momentum. A hump in the road at Fulham, but we still move.

Lets just keep the green ticks going, and nothing else for now.

We will probably slip up at some point but there's an opportunity to be near perfect with the games we have left.

Those back to back games against Brentford and Brighton away are important.

Brentford (A)
Brighton (A)
Sp**s (H)
Villa (H)
Wolves (A)
City (H)

Id say if we can get through the next few + those above and be within 5 points of Liverpool in February that is as good as it gets.

Let it go, man. We've as much chance at winning the title as Swindon Town.

Brentford (A) - 9th

Sp**s (H) - 11th
Villa (H) - 6th
Wolves (A) - 19th
City (H) - 4th

Those first four games against upper mid-table sides are crucial, agreed. We really need to win them all to have a serious chance at the title.

Factually incorrect

Swindon Town not being able to win the league is not only factually correct, it's concrete.

You said Arsenal have as much chance, factually incorrect.

5/9. We'll win the next two but we should be two points off the top now, not six.

7/9, so this was 23/27 points (obviously not all league games, but that's the equivalent). Good but that form won't be enough to win the title from here.

We have a game every 3-4 days again. I really think Arteta should start thinking about rotating. What games would you prioritize in the run in to the away game in the EFL Cup? Were would you rotate?

Ispwich (H) - PL
Brentford (A) - PL
Brigthon (A) - PL
Newcastle (H) - EFL Cup
Man U (H) - FA Cup
Tottenham (H) - PL
Aston Villa (H) - PL
Zagreb (H) - CL
Wolves (A) - PL
Girona (A) - CL
City (H) - PL
Newcastle (A) EFL Cup

We could rotate against Ispwich. Priortize the EFL Cup and rotate a bit against United. Win against Zagreb and rotate against Girona.

You'd venture to say that we should win all of these, though that is courting disaster by hubris....

Ispwich (H) - PL WIN (rotate)
Brentford (A) - PL WIN
Brighthon (A) - PL WIN
Newcastle (H) - EFL Cup WIN
Man U (H) - FA Cup WIN
Tottenham (H) - PL WIN
Aston Villa (H) - PL WIN
Zagreb (H) - CL WIN (rotate)
Wolves (A) - PL WIN
Girona (A) - CL WIN (rotate)
City (H) - PL WIN
Newcastle (A) EFL Cup DRAW

We could rotate against Ispwich. Priortize the EFL Cup and rotate a bit against United. Win against Zagreb and rotate against Girona.

I think we could go on a run of victories. They are all winnable games.

Brentford (A) --- 12.02 PL
Wigan (H) --- 15.02 FA
Wolves (A) --- 18.02 PL
Sp**s (A) --- 22.02 PL
Chelsea (H) --- 01.03 PL

This run of games is managable. Go all out against Brentford and rest important players against Wigan and Wolves. The Team should be fresh enough to play Sp**s and Chelsea. And we will have Saka + Ødegaard back soon.

I expect at least 10 points from this run.

I don't see Rosenior Chelsea or Frank Sp**s being any challenge. We should be picking up 12 points and gaining momentum.
