Not at first and they will be confident, over the season though think it will catch up with them and unlike last season they won’t be able to have 2 different squads for Europe and domestic.Surely Chelsea will be cream crackered from the CWC?
Well it will be interesting to see how they start off. Not sure how this CWC fits in with players holiday, pre season etc. There were a number of posters who were not altogether unhappy when we got knocked out, citing the impact on the coming campaign if we'd continued in the comp.Not at first and they will be confident, over the season though think it will catch up with them and unlike last season they won’t be able to have 2 different squads for Europe and domestic.
I think you are doing the player a disservice there, he showed some class moments, made the difference in getting champions league qualification and is going to get better; Khusanov and Gonzalez too improved us and will get better.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.
Well on the surface the Juve result looked great but the goals nconceeded hinted at little real improvement in that problem area. The elimination from the CWC provided further evidence of an on-going weakness. Now there are signs that we are looking more lively and dangerous and that is positive. Chelsea can look back on this competition with satisfaction and confidence for the future. Now they may not go close to winning the league but as of today I would think they have at least as good a chance as we have. Lets see how many points we have in Jan/Feb and how we are playing in comparison to others.When you say current form you mean the second half of the last game, not the game before v Juventus, or the other 2?
a big game is a big final or arsenal, liverpool, madrid, psg, barca, bayern. the elite - not fucking ‘having a great season’ forest. a home game midweek to forest or a saturday 3pm against newcastle are not big games. chelsea are also shite and not elite last season.Which were the small games that City won against the top 6/7 teams? The two against Chelsea, the one against Villa, the 4-0 against Newcastle, two wins against Forest?
And what about if they don’t a ACL isn’t a twisted ankle. I massively hope I’m wrong. We definitely need to do more business surely we can agree on that?I think you are doing the player a disservice there, he showed some class moments, made the difference in getting champions league qualification and is going to get better; Khusanov and Gonzalez too improved us and will get better.
What about getting Rodri and Foden back?
We can agree on that. Just be careful when judging the two teams you don’t underestimate ours and overestimate theirs.And what about if they don’t a ACL isn’t a twisted ankle. I massively hope I’m wrong. We definitely need to do more business surely we can agree on that?
Yes that’s the spirit. Who do we have to worry about?Yes we will win the league. You can bookmark this if you want. Absolutely pointless thread.
We need more fans looking at us positively imo.Yes that’s the spirit. Who do we have to worry about?
Liverpool? Ok they had an easy job last year, far too easy. Yes they’ve brought in Wirtz but 100m is a lot of money for a player who really is a fair bit overhyped.
Arsenal will just finish second.
Rags? Ok no need to worry about them.
Chelsea? Maybe but I think their defence isn’t quite up to it just yet.
Who else? Newcastle maybe but looking at our squad and a new centre back and right back and I would back us to do the league again.
