My reasoning is obviously coloured by current form. No overbearing reason why this will translate into next season but it might. If it does I suggest Chelsea may finish above us. Any improvement we have shown has been marginal but since a lot of money has been spent alreasdy I would expect us to be a lot better and we have a framework in place to win. Lets see what happens, it won't be long now till we find out.Unless we continue to improve and why wouldn't we.
When you say current form you mean the second half of the last game, not the game before v Juventus, or the other 2?My reasoning is obviously coloured by current form.

They are well positioned, no doubt. Interesting thing gonna be about their mentality, because the pressure is on them and especially on Mikel. Although my guess its coming rather from the fanbase rather than a club. Professionals should see that Arteta is a very good coach, one of the best, they simoply have been a bit unlucky with lack of trophies.I think Arsenal finally do it. They had the best defence last season with Saliba and Gabriel before the injuries. Attack just let them down in too many games especially against Liverpool, with Gyokeres you've got the finisher to put the ball in the net. Midfield is solid Rice , Zubimendi and Odegaard. Full backs are solid, they finally have enough to do it.
Im sorry what am I missing hear? I mean, what has Khusanov done so far that justifies putting him into first eleven? Not to mention the context there like hes one of the greatest players in history of football? I believe Khusanov gonna be at least very good too, but its too early, I would be surprised if hes gonna play a really important role this seasonif Pep is bold, yes

Love the irony here with the grammar:)firstly it's here (sorry normally not a grammar nazi ;-) )
Secondly Dias has no. pace, cannot play the high line and his football skills are below Stone, Ake, Gvardiol and Kush, love the guy but he plays instead of Josko not partnering imho
Thirdly we all know why Kush didn't play
How much balder can he get?!if Pep is bold, yes
so do ILove the irony here with the grammar:)

6. Other teams stop playing 5-4-1 against usI think the 5 major factors for us winning the league will be;
1. Rodri stays fit.
2. Foden regains form and contributes 16-20 goals
3. We sign a RB who's strong defensively as well as having recovery pace
4. Doku/ Savio/ Bobb contribute at least 30 goals between them
5. Gundogan and Silva are never together in a double pivot at any stage of the season.
its called confidence“If Pep does what I think is best we can get 100 points and win the treble”
Zero self awareness
Well only Marmoush really, other than Newcastle and Bournemouth I don’t think he pulled any trees up. I do rate him but he needs to work on his first touch, I feel he’s a clumsy player. After the first month we hardly saw the others. I personally didn’t see anything from Jan onwards that suggests to me we’re three signings away from winning the league. Still much more business needs to be done. Gundo/Kova/Bernie/Stones/Ake/Akanji all either already past it or injury prone and there going to be another year older.The worst part of last season was before the January window closed, so it isn’t just 3 players signed, you need to include players like Marmoush in your analysis.
Well we know City's potential with a fit Rodri.I think it will be more competitive next year, in that the Arsenal, Chelsea and Dippers all seem stronger, on paper. If we get a decent start and a bit of momentum, we may find our grove again. A bad start and conversely all the questions start again. I do like the look of the squad and feel that Gvardiol may become the world class centre back we thought we were investing in, a couple of years back. I think Dias is a more than capable partner with a plethora of back up options depending on whether they stay fit or get sold. We now have a left back and I am optimistic that Nunez can step up next year, after being shoe-horned into a new role. Our midfield is a strength, if Pep gets the selection balanced. In terms of attacking options, we are blessed.
We need to become the flat-track bullies that enjoyed turning over less fancied opposition. Do this and the big games sort themselves out.
I’m going for 5/6 titles and a resounding victory against the premier league. Can’t wait!
Being positive, we need a fully revitalised Foden, and a more influential contribution, (especially in the big games) from Doku.Well we know City's potential with a fit Rodri.
I think you are right to add Chelsea into the mix.
In truth, City's attacking potential has ebbed as KDB aged. In the last 2 windows we addressed that. City's attacking potential will be huge. All the risks are at the other end.
I don't see how we don't improve. Whether it will be enough to win the title really comes down to the extent to which Rodri recovers, the development of Reis and Khusanov and the fitness of Stones. No one can answer these questions and hence the future of City in 2025/26 is extremely uncertain. Potentially very exciting or more we attack, you score.
Surely Chelsea will be cream crackered from the CWC?Well we know City's potential with a fit Rodri.
