They have to be better than what we have though, and able to hit the ground running immediately.One or two defenders in the January window may sure us up at the back, and if we can be more incisive going forward then we could still be in with a shout. We seemed a bit sharper at the start of the season.

Kompany's return could be very significant. Stones, Kompany, Otamendi looks solid to me. With Jesus added to Sane and co, I think we're a lot stronger than people think.
Stones, Kompany and Otamendi as a back 3 would be great if we can keep them all available for selection until the end of the season. We do need cover though, because if we loose Clichy or Sagne for any length of time, we are screwed.They have to be better than what we have though, and able to hit the ground running immediately.

I don't know about that. Defensively we've been without Kompany for most of the season. I would go 3 at the back when Kompany has a few games under his belt, and I feel that then we'll be solid at the back, and be dominant in midfield and attack.Stones, Kompany and Otamendi as a back 3 would be great if we can keep them all available for selection until the end of the season.

You're right - Sanchez is half their team. On a related point, the difference between Silva andOzil/Hazard is consistency. Ozil went missing for his first year at Arsenal. Hazard went missing all of last season. Silva is at it every single game. Even on a rare poor day, Silva gives maximum effort. Majestic tonight.Good! Bournemouth can play some really good football. They attack really well but give you a chance to play. Arsenal were lucky to get a point because of that sending off. Given the way Arsenal played at City and that hour against Bournemouth I've written them off. I think they have really good players, but there's something not right there. If Sanchez leaves, they've had it.
Yes he was. I'd like him to be more clincal in front of goal. That is one area where he could be better. Raheem and Silva lit up that game although West Ham stood off us. Could not have asked for an easier game.You're right - Sanchez is half their team. On a related point, the difference between Silva andOzil/Hazard is consistency.

Great tonight but seven points behind, dodgy defence and no Europe for 'lucky' Chelsea means the title isn't going to happen.Play a few more games like that one away to Everton and WHU again and we'll be in with a shout.
Setting aside the fact that Vinnie is arguably the world's most adept centre back (best in my view) - colossal in the air, quick and clean in the tackle and reads the game so well, he controls the team - decides when to commit to attack and directs those around him. With Vinnie calling the shots, Otamendi looks a better player - as did Joleon and Micah. Keeps the team calm under pressure. When team mates seeing him put the opposition's best player in his pocket it lifts 'em - spreads belief. Guts me to see him on the sidelines.I don't know about that.

League is doable, we've got the best player in South America on his way to City, our Captain coming back, and well placed in League, Champions League and FA Cup.
As Guardiola says. Believe in this team. I sense for the first time in a couple of years the determination is there to win the league and make the most of this season. Two or three players are struggling a little bit, but the team as a whole might carry us through
