I genuinely think we will add some depth in January though. We simply have to. If Kova gets injured we've no cover for him. I'd love us to go for a back up striker too but I can't see that happening. If we bag someone like Barella I think we might get it over the line but will we actually get someone of his ability? I dunno...I make Arsenal fav ATM. They are killing teams off, even after going behind.
Losing Rodri all season is a massive blow. It's a blow I don't think City will recover from.
We'll be in the mix, but I don't think we have the depth of squad, 1 striker, Haaland, to battle Arsenal all season to the title.
Fully expect Liverpool to be in the mix. They score goals and have started well with a new manager. Better finishers in Jota, Salah and Diaz than Arsenals options upfront.I don't think anyone is looking top dollar at present. Liverpool have played cannon fodder so far, not a single decent side. City weren't great today but neither were Arsenal. Both won despite not being on song whereas Liverpool had to hang on vs Palace despite being at their best for most of that game.
Dippers fans I know say that Salah is not as good as previous seasons - he can still finish but he's lost his explosive turn of pace and power.
City never show their final form until late Feb anyway.
Suspect both City and Arsenal will get their players absolutely flogged by their national team managers again so rotation will be key. I can't stand the cheating Glaswegian who used to manage the Rags but one thing he did do very well was have his players come down with mysterious viruses right around the international breaks.
Liverpool are going to have more games like Forest. They also struggled to beat Wolves and Palace who are both bottom 3.Fully expect Liverpool to be in the mix. They score goals and have started well with a new manager. Better finishers in Jota, Salah and Diaz than Arsenals options upfront.
