Yes but everyone else has improved. Chelsea have a striker now that can score against teams outside of the top 6. That’s a massive threat, City need a striker. Lukaku bullied defenders and held the ball up for them linking play. We don’t have that neither do we have a finisher in the box. If Lukaku scores 20 to 25 goals they will win the league and they are favourites right now.
it would be arrogant and stupid from the club to go into a season without a recognised striker.
basically handicapping pep.
last season we were brilliant in the league but our opposition were weak, Liverpool had CB injuries. Chelsea didn’t have a good coach till Tuchel came in Now with good management they look a force. This season will be incredibly more difficult if we can’t get a finisher in to finish our chances such as we would have beaten Spurs if we had someone up front who could put the ball in the back of the net. Kane does not miss that Mahrez chance.
if we get a striker in I think it will be close but we will edge it due to our superior creative options. If we don’t get a finisher in, I’m resigned to us losing the title.
