I still think we will win the league

The right results in the games over the next week are vital.
Leicester have got Candlepool away on Boxing day and Arse are away to Southampton, they could both drop points there and if we do the biz at home then things are looking a little rosier.
Arse have then got Bournemouth on the Monday and we of course have Leicester away on the Tuesday night. Obviously at this rate we'll get our pants pulled down at Leicester but if we have the right players fit and firing, we'll win it. The table then looks completely different and we're back favourites.
I can't see Leicester going the course, they are only up there because they are scoring freely, defensively they aren't the best and if they get injuries to Vardy and/or a couple of other key players they'll drop off. It wouldn't take much for Arse to suddenly suffer set backs too, whereas we've got some of our best players still to come back or to get back to full match fitness.
It's still ours to lose in my opinion, but I may change my mind after next Tuesday!

Well we might although my confidence that we will has hit a low point. Yet again we have hit an atrocious run of form just as we did last season. Every side can lose a match but a run of losing games and below par performances two seasons on the bounce is a management issue. Factor in the money spent in the summer and it makes even less acceptable.
On the bright side and unlike last season the run away leaders are Leicester not Chelsea so yes we still have every chance. Keep this form up though and no we won't.

We are more than capable of going on an extended winning run. We have the players to do it and no team is outstanding in this division.
What worries me though is that we only see to do this when reacting to the good form of another team. If Arsenal go on a 10 game winning streak, I would expect us to match them. But there is a definite mentality issue that is stopping us from being ruthless. Arsenal have a 4 point cushion over us and still have to come to the Etihad, a game which suits them a lot more IMO.
It seems that we are going to be in a position where we will need a meltdown from our closest title challenger to win the league which is not good enough considering our investment.

A few things need to happen!
Need to get Vincent and an in form Zabba back.
Need Yaya to either be removed or start actually playing within a role and contributing (rather than what appears to be just doing whatever he feels like doing),
Need Aguero to get game time and regain sharpness.
Need De Bruyne to not be tired anymore.
Need Sterling to find the extra edge that seems to be just out of reach right now for him.
We'll be fine if those things happen.

Still think we'll do it...
Leicester won't keep it up (i know everyone keeps saying this, and they are, but they won't), United are just way off the pace, and if TT stays it's only gonna get worse.
It's only really Arsenal, and when our players are back and firing we're just too strong. And they will come back and fire.
Keep the faith.

Kind of like sitting on an inside straight draw and hoping for a bit of luck.
