Iraola should replace Pep
I think all the teams have weaknesses and will be inconsistent. It will not be like the previous seasons with Klopp and Peo.Ye but Chelsea have no chance too inconsistent for me
They weren't that great against us and really struggled to break us down even though we had set our stall out. It took a wonder goal with a lot of luck attached for them just to get a point.Arsenal’s to lose. Fortunately, I think they have it in them to do exactly that.
8/9 days ago it was Liverpool's.No.
Arsenal look like the team to win the PL title this season.
After Arsenal, any of the top teams can finish 2nd.
Maybe it is their go, maybe not, but they still can't beat their direct rivals, look like they'll struggle to create chances in some games, and have looked pretty average in a few of their games. And critically we don't know if they have the backbone in the spring when things get squeaky bum. Honestly I don't know how anyone can say anything for sure, there are 12 really decent teams, no clear tactical system that is edging anything, and long fucking throws are back in fashion. Feels old school to me in the sense of let's see where we are at New Year.No.

We'd be top of the league on goal difference over Liverpool with 15 points and Arse on 14 points. Mad :)Definitely more of a chance than I thought before the season and at the start.
We'd need a few things to happen, Rodri getting back to his best, Cherki to get firing and more goals from wide players but I definitely think we've a chance.
I know this is ifs and buts BUT if we win tomorrow and we'd hung on 2 more minutes at Arse, we'd probably be not far off bookies faves.
I think Arse will ultimately win it but if we're in the race come March time, that's when we'd have a advantage with Pep and the experience. Would help us to see Dippers and Goons go deep in Champs league
Mad they got 2 points for the draw, should do it on goals for in that hypotheticalWe'd be top of the league on goal difference over Liverpool with 15 points and Arse on 14 points. Mad :)
Arse prob still favourites though.
Spot on. Also everybody forgets that in the league we were unbeaten since the 0-1 loss at Forest in March yet some on here talk as though we're about to get relegated.This is the Champions League. There are no easy away games in the CL. It's not the Europa League where half the sides are demotivated. We should have won. We were the dominant side but we were too cautious and suffered for it at the end.
I think what is significant about City's early season form is that we have taken up where we left off last season, and we are improving as the form of individual players like Foden and Doku improves.
I would expect City fans to be encouraged by this but this forum is suffocated by stupid people or people on a mission.
Well spotted.Mad they got 2 points for the draw, should do it on goals for in that hypothetical
Only the doom and gloom merchants on here think we're the underdogs. Brentford won't be looking forward to this.It's so good looking like we are the underdogs. I think we are a lot better than others think we are.
We have the most exciting squad by far and when we get all the players back and used to playing each other I think we'll be back to our very best, and I don't think we're that far away. Why the hell nobody can see this after what we've witnessed over the past decade I have absolutely no idea. Reijnders was voted best midfielder in Serie A last season. Watch Khusanov and Cherki's back history videos and you'll realise how good they are. Add to that the players we have, the world's best striker, the world's best keeper and the rest and once we click (and we will), we'll be untouchable.8/9 days ago it was Liverpool's.
Now, today, it's Arsenal's.
Oh, ye of little faith!
It's City's.
