I'm fairly relaxed to be honest. When we were going toe to toe with Liverpool in their pomp the title would already be looking tough work for us. Dropping 6pts through late goals and then losing to Villa would have seen them march off into the distance. It would have been a double figure gap by now probably rather than 4. And we still probably would have caught them. Once upon a time we won our last 14 games to win the title. We won 18 and lost 1 of our final 19 games and won the league by a point. That was a title race.
Last season we seemed miles off the pace, watched Arsenal go miles clear and then won it with three games to spare. That gave us the ability to shuffle the pack and go and win the treble. We've had our injuries and suspensions and we're struggling. We will never get the appreciation because we're seen as the club with the huge world class squad. Our opposition might get lucky injury wise but they'll have to also find a magical gear if they want to take the title away from us. We'll hit our stride soon, get De Bruyne back and show everyone why we're the team to beat still. Typical tinkering and experimentation from Pep will soon turn to a ruthless well-oiled machine.
