Chasing or leading in the title race?

[Ray78]

Fine lines KC with De Bruyne. Walker was offside and was part of the attacking phase and should of been flagged.

 

[somethingelse]

a team in one league had won 9 games in a row at the start , then lost 2, and the opposition were only 3 points behind, theres been a lot of hype designed to put pressure on city by declaring it was all over after 5 games, frustrating game I did feel a bit sorry for the players, but not willy for his poor effort though

United really haven't faced many tough opponents so far, loss to Swansea basically but they were riding high.. look at them the past few games.

Let's see how the scum deal with the pressure of being top

Bet the Arse don't get a goal from a two-yard offside!!

 

[guvnors son mcfc]

The scum will get at least 20 points from favourable decisions going their way, we will get the opposite.

The media wankfest has begun for Glory Glory Man Utd.

If Kompany cannot stay injury free, Aguero doesn't find his mojo and Silva is kicked off the park every week we will chasing all season.

We have gone from a side that looked totally together to that shambles today

Early title race results means nothing. The teams are slowly bedding in and players are getting to match fitness.
The real contest begins late October /mid-November. No need to flap already.
After a run of 12~15 games we will have a more tangible idea of the strengths of the top 3 teams in the league.

Things like the offside decisions Pellegrini cannot control.

No team will lose the league due to offside decisions.

I'm not arsed if this sounds arrogant or not but we should easily win the league this year.

We have built a squad that is up there with the Bayern's and Barca's IMO and we need to make a statement.

Reaching the last 16 of the CL and scraping the league does not do this group of players justice.

The words easy and manchester city do not go together

 

[Champions2012!]

Well it's time to break this thread out again.
It's becoming that time again and I still believe we are best chasing

 

[Blue Hefner]

Surely leading - is there ever a good reason to have less points than your competitors?

Couldn't give two shites as long as we're top after 38 games.

I feel we cope better when the pressure is on the other teams and not on us.
Chasing by just a few points of course

 

[pml79]

Well so far both our prem league wins have come from us being behind on points n games played so hope we go far in cups and then clear up last 6 games of season

 

[mcfcfc]

chasing-it's seems we are better when the pressure is on us to deliver we won both titles by chasing others teams

I agree, but I cope better when we're ahead with a few points to spare.

 

[baildon blue]

For once I would rather seeing us leading .
Got a feeling it go to that last game at Swansea .

 

[kaz7]

We are better chasing

 

[lancs blue]

Leading would be better, though as long as we don't fall too far behind I don't mind chasing but we can't always rely on the opposition blowing a lead.
