I think what I'm most amazed by is that this has been, by our standards, a pretty iffy season. And yet here we are. It's been far from vintage. Even the first half yesterday, we were calm, fairly controlled, but we weren't what I'd call “good City”. We are capable of winning matches, and indeed titles, without being at our best. We may not win this one, but even to have pushed an Arsenal team playing at their absolute maximum is pretty amazing.
I'm nearly certain that we'll play better next season, through the season.
One of key moments remains shipping Cancelo out.
 
About time Arsenal got a pumped by someone (other than us).

I'd like to believe otherwise, but I fear it's Liverpool who are going to get pumped. Yes, Arsenal haven't won there since forever. Everything changes.
(I'm relying on the Toons to do the business. Brighton won't be at all easy either. We play Brighton, too, but later).

Whilst Liverpool are capable of getting a result today, the last ten years should have taught us all the truth of this last sentence.

And, less popular, benching Rico who's a great talent but not up there with Stones.

Stones' current role is another tactical hit by Pep. I shouldn't say that before the games with Bayern, but we've been really good since the experiment with Rico in big games was over after Spurs, maybe because Stones has been great in Rico's role and makes the system work. Genius stuff by Pep. Bayern will be a big test for this new system, but it has been fantastic so far. We look as good as ever under Pep.

Arsenal will drop points in a game or games in which they are strong favourites to win. We are likely to drop points too, for the games with Bayern and hopefully Real/Chelsea may tire key players like Rodri, Haaland, KDB...Generally, it's always possible to drop points. I expect that both us and Arsenal won't win 90 pts. 88-89 pts and champions on GD :)
