I still think we will win the league

It's between us and the arse, and unless we fix the fact that every team looks like scoring against us, it may well be them. Really need Vinnie back and for a large run of games.
 
What's the problem so we've lost a couple of games nothing that can't be put right, we will win a couple of trophies the season, but my favourite will always be the FA cup
 
Again with the poor organisation in our back half when we don't have possession and our willingness to sacrifice points for the sake of a " playing style " we make it much harder for ourselves than it should be.

Arsenal was a typical example as we could easily have played a counter attacking game and kept the margin to one point instead of 4 even with the players we had.

We miles off what we are capable of but show no signs of doing what it is necessary to put our stamp on the league.

Massive underachievers this year to date in a league that is poor to say the least in terms of one or two clubs playing at their maximum consistently.

I am not impressed by any club this season of the so called traditional top bracket.

Watford , Palace and Leicester have been the best at getting results with what they have probably followed by Spurs.

It's more than a couple and it's the manner of the defeats and even the victories. But yes, it can be put right. Max points over the hols will do it.
 
Looking back at the Arsenal game it wasn't the system it was individual players not doing there job or making mistakes, so if we set up to hit teams on the break will we still make the individual mistakes? Will players still not do there job? Bottom line we losing because of the players being lazy or making stupid decisions/mistakes.

Fuck's sake, we're only 4 points behind Arsenal with half the season to go! Of course we can win the league, it's there for the taking.

We've been further behind with fewer games left and won it before. Leicester are flash in the pan and quite shit and flukey, they'll be lucky to finish top 6. Chelsea have left themselves too much to do, the rags are shite and Liverpool's honeymoon period with Klopp lasted one game (against us, unfortunately), before the inevitable 3-0 loss to Watford and no doubt similar results to follow.

So it's us or Arse. With players to come back from injury and Kun getting his sharpness back I think we'll piss it to be quite honest, by a clear 7 or 8 points by May.

Me too. But I've thought we can win it every year since 2011/12. I'm an eternal optimist regarding City. The turning point for me was Sir Taggart coming to the etihad & playing for a draw when they lead the table. I had never seen him do that. We destroyed the 8 point lead with six games to go. 6 points with 20 games to go? Possible...of course. Easy?...im not daft or arrogant enough to think that

I disagree. Precisely the opposite. Despite all the variables the K stands like a rock.

Nope. The gap has closed considerably between the best and so called worst teams. Norwich winning at the swamp. Palace
winning at Anfield. Chelsea going down. City losing 5 games before xmas. Plus what is K please?
Plus

Even in defeat tonight that final 30 minutes showed we can do our traditional second half of the season and win this league..

Arsenal didnt look that scary at all they will drop points and fade away and bottle it .. same for leicester they wont last the distance.. we have the pedigree and experience to step up and take control of this league..

It may take a lower number of points to win it so defeats like tonight arent going to hurt us that much.

City at 60-70% can win this league keep the faith and although 5 defeats on paper looks depressing in reality with the way its shaping up we are more than capable..

Merry Christmas to all UP THE BLUES..

I don't think it I know it, what will be all the sweeter is I reckon we will seal it against Arsenal, can see a semi final in champs league and us beating Stoke at Wembley as well but the only downer wil be losing to Norwich in the FA cup
 
The "We're only 4 points off Arsenal" is a very simplistic way of looking at it. How do you expect to win the league with our current away form? I've seen nothing recently to suggest we've learned our lesson and we're only going to lose 1 or 2 games for the rest of the season.

We have a big summer coming up where we have to replace Yaya and actually buy a world class left back. If we get Pep and sign the right players we can actually challenge on all fronts. As for this season it was a huge chance for Pellegrini to go out on a high by winning a very average Premier League, he's gone half way towards blowing it.
 
The key to any success is to get a fully fit squad and to keep it that way but even the most hardened supporter will worry over Pellegrini's ability to achieve this. Our injury record under this manager is appalling. Every team has injuries but it's the injuries that occur during training or warm ups that worry me. Something isn't right behind the scenes.

If we can go to Leciester and avoid defeat then that will be an improvement. I was gutted when Kompany went off, and thought at our time that was our chances of winning the title disappearing. We're going to have to show that we can defend without him now
