For the last two seasons, the negative predictions have been ritually slaughtered, but the injury prone players stayed injured, the inconsistent form remained inconsistent, and the disinterested players continued to apply nowhere near 100%
Will this season be different? Hopefully so, but whilst it’s nice to be positive on a football forum, the fact remains that none of us can determine the outcome. Meanwhile, in the real world, City have suffered 6 red cards many of them for acts of utter stupidity.
That’s the real worry because my biggest fear is that the current team lacks character and resolve, the moment something doesn’t go to plan.
Even at 0-3 last Saturday, we still had a chance, mainly because Leicester had scored so early. There was plenty of time for a comeback, but instead we reverted to type, preferring to pass when it was easier to shoot, and generally hiding behind safe, unambitious interplay
Prediction: I’m talking a load of bollocks and City will be Champions.
