The Title Race - 2024/25

This thread should be locked. There’s more chance of Ana de Armas sucking my cock than us winning the league this season.

I have been away with work in India for 3 of the last 4 weeks meaning the last time I saw City live we were still on a long unbeaten streak, the 1-0 Southamption game - but I'm back in the ground tomorrow for the first time since - I'm hoping normal service will resume against the rags!

sorry chaps - all was going swimmingly until 85 minutes then we gave the rags three chances - we all know what happened next FFS

We wouldn’t win the championship playing like this. We are dross currently,

It is impossible in our current mental and physical state to actually win it.

That's spot on.

This team is not finished. 3-4 wins plus 1-2 quality new players in January could make a big difference for the rest of the season.

The main reason why many don't see the good things in our game, e.g., vs Palace and Juventus, is the outcome bias: a bad result means a bad performance. Several bad results mean the team is finished, Pep is finished, Txiki did a poor job, etc. Sometimes shit happens, we are unlucky and the results are bad.

Pep's main mistake in the preparation for this season is relying on Stones and Ake to stay fit. Their injuries make it difficult for the other defenders, as these are overplayed and get injuries or lose form. We need a new CB.

I have always had a sceptical view of a lot of this so called data analysis. If it is saying that the current performances are not too bad I now convinced it is a load of bollox. I won't be reading the article thank-you.

It works the other way too. We were winning and playing pretty terribly at the start of the season. We've been bad all season really.

We probably wouldn't beat Southampton or Wolves if we had to play them in the next month.

Points don't lie 5 of them from a possible 33 and 11 games is almost a third of season and the way we have lost many of them strikes of a side devoid of all confidence and both mentally and physically tuned out with nothing in the locker to turn things around.

Think this needs changing with our current form to “The race for top ten”

 

[KDB4ever]

I'm happy if we can end up with top 4 this season. Thinking we can still win the title is just being arrogant at this point.

Remember when we used to joke about the first target being 40 pts?
