There’s a desire to want to make a logical argument out of whatever happens from Jan 31 to the end of the year. In reality, literally any result would have been used to prove the point
It feels like we’ve “lost the title” 3 times. 1st when Saka did his hamstring … then Liverpool dropped points & we were back in it. 2nd when Havertz did his hammy … then Liverpool dropped 4 points in a week. Finally this weekend, and that was the actual end. But really it’s been done for a while.
It was actually the Declan Rice red & mini injury Ødegaard picked up home to Brighton in the third game of the season that started this whole house of cards falling… (not sure if I’m joking here 😭 )
It probably is as simple as when Saka got injured. It probably happened even earlier tbh but that was the killer blow. Teams rarely win the league with their best player unavailable for 3-4 months, and they never do with the amount of injuries we’ve had

I’d say beating City away means our Jan window is increasingly irrelevant.
