Will we win the league this season? No

Ivan Lentil said:
Despite a very accomplished performance by the lads, scandalous officiating sees us dropping two points and predictably enough all the bedwetters come almost gleefully out of the woodwork windmilling verbal punches in all directions. Pathetic.

As someone else wisely said, tonight has shades of the Sunderland game in the 11/12 run in - a hard earned point that ultimately proved crucial.

Long way to go yet, plenty of points to play for, keep the faith.

Mate I'm no bedwetter and I don't often comment on players or the teams performance, but if you believe your first 8 words,describe to nights performance, I will seriously after 60 years of watching City, have to reevaluate my understanding of football.

Arsenal are not impressing anyone and I can see them dropping more point but we are not in a position to capitalise on it at the moment. Unfortunately I think we will drop more points and it won’t be enough.

Arsenal fans and players want it more than we do to the point that they are capable of imploding if we pressure them. Unfortunately I don't see us getting close to them again.
 
It is unlikely now but not impossible. We of course have to beat Arsenal and if we do, the gap could be 1 point. But we obviously have no margin for error now

It is true that we have had setbacks in previous title winning seasons where we have produced some wretched games and then gone on turn it around.
 
Too many are hoping Pep can inspire us like he has done in the run-ins with his previous teams.

Those teams had some serious quality and leadership about them.

Many forget his first title at City had the likes of Vinny, Silva, Fernandinho, Sergio, KDB and Gundogan in it.

Unbelievable footballers, big game players and leaders of men.

This team however, just does not have it in them in my opinion and this season is going to end up being a learning curve for a lot of the newer players priming them for the title races in years to follow.

We have one player in that team who we can pin hopes on winning us a match, and that's Haaland. You cannot rely on one player and a player who is greatly out of form.

We've had a small handful of decent performances since Christmas and half of them were in the cup. We're just not the same team as we once were. It's a transitional season, which happens.

I guess its possible the Arse shit a brick and do a Devon Loch, but I just don't see it myself. They'll canter to the league for me, 2nd will scrape 75/78 points at best with the arse clear of that!!
 
Nope. Not now. Too many games like tonight, so many dropped points because of uninspiring tactics and performances.

It’s Arsenal’s now barring an absolute miracle.

We just have to try and stay in touch and apply the pressure and stranger things have happened
 
said no all season....still aint seen anything to believe we will....we just arent good enough...

Levels below previous squads and teams in terms of techincal ability....

and its getting worse. Im not sure Peps idea of players matches Viannas as close as it needs to...we are seeing a clash of styles and I know Pep is trying to adapt to the change in playing style but im not sure we needed to or that it gets the best out of some of our better players.
 
I appreciate all the positivity, but the one big flaw is that we're too slow and ponderous, and overloaded with lightweight peripheral players, who just don't do enough when the opposition have the ball.

Forest's 1st equaliser was similar to Chelsea's equaliser in the way they got behind our left flank

Forest's 2nd equaliser was a good finish, but similar to Brighton's equaliser in the way that Anderson lost his marker

We lack energy and dynamism, and that problem won't go away without a serious reshuffle

We lacked a cutting edge (two pens might have helped in that regard) but our passing and retention of the ball and our ability to slow the game down and control it is improving week on week for me and was good tonight.

Phil’s not himself, big Erl wasn’t fully on it and Rodri looked a bit tired after a tough 90 mins at Leeds but I thought everyone else was good. Two top class goals and some truly shocking refereeing cost us the points but even so we could’ve nicked it in the last minute.
