Though so far we're doing better away than at home in terms of points per game.

8 points ahead of where we were last season.

It's that Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea trio of games next to each other which I think will trip us up
Make or break, hopefully we can go in to those games with some distance between us and 4th. If we can go in to them looking to win as opposed to looking over our shoulder and thinking a point is a result then that could make the difference.

If the game against Chelsea had been reffed correctly and mop hair sent off the result most probably would of gone in our favour so would only be 2 points behind and also be 11 points ahead of last season. But don't worry these things even out over a season or so the experts tell us !

there are games we should of had more than one point this season, efc, boro , ectThere were games end of last year where we should have had more than 1 point from as well.
Its not the same players though. Its Sane and SterlingBravo/Willy Kolarov at Center back, John Stones, Nolito, Gundogan and Jesus. All adding to the talent pool and increasing competition across the board.Makes me frustrated too, knowing what talent and hard work can be gotten of of those same players. The owners need take note for when we are hiring managers in future
Ffs we spent 120 odd million on incoming alone. Pep has done well no doubt. But he had considerably more talent at his disposal.
8 points better off after 26 games. Could be 12 by the end of the season. we'll see. Significant improvement although the point made elsewhere that we were under-performing last season is fair.Interesting that, from memory we started both seasons well and we dipped about the same time. Last year we never really got right back on our game and ended up coasting home with 4th sealed on the last day.
This year we have come back strong and seem to be as good in attack now as the opening games. Lets hope we kick on now and finish strong in the league we don’t want to be scrapping for 3rd / 4th / 5th while still battling for cups.
I think it was noteworthy that our gap to Chelsea reflects a particularly strong Chelsea team (helped by not being in the Champions League) and that in previous seasons, this team would be good enough to win the league. We keep being told that City can't win anything with our defence but the facts suggest that depending on the relative strength of our rivals, we could win the league with this team. Can't take that argument too far though or Sunderland could say the same.
Chelsea's absence from the CL league explains their 8 point lead. We have Stoke in midweek and we're likely to have to rest players, whereas every league game Chelsea play is their prime objective.
