Definitely all of you.

Well in that case, I'm here after we win, and here after we get beat...and that used to be quite a lot! ;-)

I said yesterday that we probably gonna bottle it now. I hate Arsenal for making me think its possible, if we finish second we've had a worse season than those rag cunts at Utd.

Anyway I think we'll lose to Palace and the title will be done before our game now. I hope you go on to win the CL and FA cup as well. A treble sounds good to fuck off the Liverpool/Utd fans.

It's not even squeaky bum time yet!!!

Saliba has apparently sustained a back injury and could be out for several weeks. That’s a huge blow, who’s the back up? Rob Holding? A big drop off in terms of quality.

Sadly, so true

 

[Jack Hackett]

And this is what makes City the best around. How many other clubs are still properly competing on 3 fronts? We do it year on year as well. AND this year we haven’t been anywhere near our best.

A fair point. No one has the strength in depth that you guys have.

Our strength in depth is a complete myth. We're stacked in CB that's it. No back up for rodri. No left back, etc

Rob Holding is a local lad. Grew up in Stalybridge. Not a bad player to be fair although agree seems to be the backup centre half for Arsenal.

We lost several of our key defenders during last season it is not for the faint hearted

With all due respect, no other team has your squad depth…honestly…

Smallest squad of the big 6. We just have a manager that's coached multiple players to play in multiple positions and formations.

Why not? We already know 12 clubs have outspent us over the last 5 years.

We had an 18 year old right back playing left back so our centre half who plays left back can have a rest.

 

[cheekybids]

We are hitting form at the right time, players back from injury. I reckon the Arsenal boys arses will be twitching, they’ll keep getting points but they know we’ll get them.

This is the myth that is peddled by media, and now repeated by you.
Our squad is small, however, they are so well trained in multiple positions that losing one key player makes not much difference (although you'd see a grown man cry if Haaland got a knock).
There is a squad cohesion, which comes about from constant rotation. Because you are going to get rotated in a team that fights realistically every season on all fronts.
That is why Pep is the best around at keeping the squad fresh.
It is also why Liverpool are now FUBAR.
If Arteta has learned anything from Pep, this is the most important. There will be injuries, just make sure your team isn't dominated by a couple of players that cannot be replaced in the short term.
To be fair he's done well without Jesus.

Nah we have by far the best depth of squad talent.

We haven’t even got a left back lol

We do, we have five. 2 are centre backs, 1 is a right midfielder, 1 is a right back, and 1 is a left winger ;)

You’ve just described Bernardo’s role ;)

Only when he's feeling lazy!!
