He won't we will be 10 points behind Chelsea ( Everton are rubbish this season no goals in them at all ) and Southampton 1 point behind us , Manure 2 points , Spurs possibly 3 and Arsenal 4.
It puts this game into some perspective and Stoke and Leslie won't roll over at home.
Probably all things considered our toughest away game to date.
Not sure about the boys club though , all three mightl go if things go awry this season most likely.
Despite FFP our recruiting since 2011 has been poor at best.
As many have said its part and a significant part as to why we haven't kicked on like we hoped we would after our first title especially in Europe.
Also MP in his desire to play his style seems to have weakened us considerably in other areas key to the game.
Corners , defending set pieces , crosses into the box , defending the break , movement forward , tempo , organisation and movement on and off the ball and the list goes on or could this be also that our players lack by and large the skill to be effective in these basics of the game.
It could be both but it is strange,
I know we are still second but it looks like a different City this year I just don't think we have that ruthlessness about us anymore , we had even with a fair swag of these players.
Haven't enjoyed a game this year to be honest perhaps bar Newcastle away , Liverpool at home , Southampton away , Sunderland away and Spurs at home.
