The Title Race 2022/23

[K-Bo]

I think City are in a transitional year, both in personnel and in playing style, going from false 9 to a regular 9 etc and you can see some of the difficulties. I think some are spamming low percentage balls into haaland too much and others haven't adapting well enough and are still trying to play the patterns from last year except there's one less player there now.

Its funny some of the podcasts seem to be under the impression this is city's best side or whatever. It might be a year or two down the line. But right now it smells of 2017/2020. Still some great moments and games but a general lack of consistency and confusion on the pitch.

Hopefully Arsenal aren't that good and erling carries us through.

Gotta say the people who come on here after every single dropped point season after season chucking in the towel are worse than any of the admittedly poor performances we saw on the pitch today.

Would the Champs league for us and Arsenal Premier league (was hard typing that) be excepted this season?
Yes i know we want to win everything but obviously that's not easily done.
I just feel that as long as the rags and dippers don't come into any of the equation this would probably be the best outcome if we don't have a clean sweep ourselves

We are definitely in 1 now. Continue to play passive possession crap and we will be scrapping for top 4

Arsenal are playing much better than us, playing exciting football. They deserve to be where they are and I don’t see them falling off like many are predicting. They look better than us.

Up to now. Only 1/3 of the season.

Long way to go.

What was his best figures at Villa?

They've played Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs. Won it all.

We just played Liverpool.

We just played Liverpool.

We've played Newcastle, though.

Arsenal have also played Spurs and Liverpool at home, whereas we have played Liverpool away.

Think it's hard to compare at this stage of the season. Both will drop points, both have got difficult games to play. We definitely need to at least not get beat by them if the distance stays 5 points. Need to convert one of the losses to Spurs last season into a win as well.

I suppose we're all spoilt too?
Just a few dropped points and a woeful performance against Brentford - nothing to be concerned about. Apologies.

It’s odd behaviour even in just that this is a thread at the start of every season where fans have a guess on how many points will win the league, it’s not a thread about whether we’ll win the league or not.
