How many trophies will we win?

His penalty stats should be here:

Ederson - Penalty statistics

This is the penalty statistic of Ederson of Fenerbahce Istanbul. The page shows how many penalties a player has taken and how many of those were scored.

Plus the league cup final shootout v Chelsea

i think if we get to the semi final of the CL and beat Chelsea in the FA Cup semi then we can really really really start to get excited. I personally think the CL is still one step too far for us based on our lack of striker but watching Bayern and PSG tonight, I think we’d have either of those teams and I don’t really fear Chelsea or Madrid

 

[manchester blue]

Agree with your second paragraph but not the first. We don’t seem to have the mentality but if we play at our best and believe it we really have nothing to worry about.

We are favourites because we dominate the hardest league in the World to a level rarely seen. However,and it’s been said many times, that counts for nothing if you can’t bring that game to the pitch when it matters most.

Edit: Just watched Bayern v PSG. Rarely have I seen two sides defend so badly. Almost comical.

Are you not giving any credit to the exceptional front line they both have?

 

[FrankSwift1]

Saved one at Palace

Yeah he did. I should have remembered that one I was there. Ha.

NYE and end of the winning run.

Who didn't say "yes" to the League title?

Hang your head in shame!

That’s beyond question so I was taking that for granted. I was still very surprised at the space both sides gave the attackers particularly the marking at set pieces which was non existent. It was the basic stuff rather than the problems great attacks naturally create.

I doubt both teams, particularly Bayern, will be that chaotic again. Though it’s nice to know they’re not a machine.

He's saved 3 whilst at city but not since 17/18 season. He hasn't saved any of the last 21 penalties he's faced as city goalkeeper.

We should get Paul Cooper back and sub him on if opposition get a pen

He must save plenty in training , our lads can't hit a barn door from the spot

Lewandowski coming back (or not) will be huge. Obviously need to finish Dortmund but man-for-man, we're better than PSG and have beaten them before, just need to keep Mbappe & Neymar quiet. Getting one over on Pochettino would be sweet. Then Chelsea, Liverpool or Madrid in the final, who we've beaten quite a few times in the past 18 months.

This is our best shot, and whilst it'll be very difficult, is do-able.

Imagine Aguero & Phil lifting the CL, as part of a treble or quadruple, in Aguero's last season. Beautiful.

I just can’t understand why we are the favourites. Imo we are not quite good enough to win the champions league, we lack that world class striker and are a bit too slow in midfield. I think we would really struggle to contain either psg or Bayern on the counter attack as they both look a lot quicker and more powerful than we do.

Not to mention our players look very tense in this competition which leads to uncharacteristic mistakes (see Laporte v spurs, ederson yesterday etc). I am confident we will win it within the next 5 years though. Our time is coming

We've reached the semis previously, our time is now. Never a better chance. Have confidence, we CAN go all the way and win it.

I'm one of the weirdly superstitious types that clicks on the lose option on every pre match thread. On this one you had to select at least one to win, my default would be to say we win nothing but on the basis i had to click at least one i went for the league cup.

 

[Mancity1980]

I think those percentages at the top of the page are fair and if you multiple them together you 13.4%,approximately an 1 in 7 chance.

 

[Sir peace frog]

With all the fixtures si close together you can see why the quadruple has never been done before

 

[Bluemoonadam]

And Arsenal

Saved a penalty in the penalty shootout against Chelsea as well in the cup final.

We will know by the end of next weekend. Beating Dortmund and then Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final within days of each other will be our first challenge. We can then afford a couple of slip-ups in League matches and that is the only wriggle room we have. What a fantastic end to a bizarre season.

One saving grace is that Chelsea cannot relax in their CL return leg and therefore cannot rest players.

I’m loving the end of this season. Could go either way but so glad we are competing on all fronts.

How come City win all those penalty shoot-outs then?

This season is far more compressed.

City didn't start this season till 3 October 2020.

Last season started on 4 August 2019 and didn't finish until 15 August 2020.
