Champions

12 to play with 6 wins needed.

An impressive endeavour from the boys in blue.

After Chelsea we have 3 games we should win.

Chelsea A
Burnley H
Palace H
Brighton A

I think 3 wins there and we will look odds on.

Im not even counting that last game away to City. It'd be 6 wins woth 11 to play for me and yep after Chelsea there's 3 certainly winnable games on paper

 

[maccavennie]

I don't, its totally without any foundation.

This is the thread that doesn't need foundation, it's the thread if dreams!

Best time to play City though isn’t it? Last game of the season, they’ll have nothing to play for with the league wrapped up weeks before so maybe we’d see a youth-heavy lineup.

If City beat Leicester and United we could actually be the last team capable of catching them Imagine if there is a one week window when we are the only team who can mathematically stop City.

Or it's there first home game with fans allowed back & it so happens that they will be lifting the trophy that game too. A loss poops the party. Let's get the job done before the City game.

Only if they still have Champions League to play for an want to avoid injuries. Otherwise, we aren’t giving their youth team a guard of honour

Correct.

Got to have everything crossed that they’ll be in that final and playing the “kids”.

Looking at Chelsea set up v RS, this translates to chilwell, Mount and Werner up their left against Holgate and Iwobi.
Coleman should be fit to start either in place of or in front of Holgate. James in place of Iwobi.

If everyone is fit I would play 5 at back with Coleman and Digne as wing backs. Not sure what I would do in midfield or up front but neither Holgate or Coleman convince me at RB in a flat 4.

Yeah agree with all of that. At the other end, Rudiger looks flaky. If we go two up top then I could see Richy causing him problems

I was thinking the other night about our league run in, in 1969/70 when Alan Whittle seemed to
score the goals in a lot of 1-0 wins for us, and history tells us what happened then. I wonder
if Richarlison could copy Whittle this year?

 

[jazzy]

Has any other defending champions ever lost 5 consecutive home league games?
