The Title Race - 2024/25

[Inter Me Nan]

We know, or should i say most of us know we aren't winning the league this year.
A rebuild is apparent and probably a tad overdue.
Our biggest, greatest achievement was the glorious treble.
But lets not underestimate how huge it was to go and win the league again the following season, not just for it being 4 in a row (that for me will stand the test of time) but just for doing it again after so much was put in to win 'The Treble'.
Arguably our 2nd greatest achievement in the circumstances.
But, there is a but, in achieving this 4 in row i think it took the club's eye off the ball for beginning this rebuild.
We know it will be addressed in the summer.
So for me, if we could finish in the top 4 this season and let others exhaust/crucify themselves in a tight title fight, i'm sure we'll be bang there and bookies favourites again next season

This.

A lesson

You can't win titles without a great defense. Our defense doesn't exist. Teams are no longer afraid of us, they understand that if they just try, they can score quite easily. Anything can happen in football but I would be very, very surprised if we were in the title race until the end. It looks more like a race for top 4.

I agree mate. We’ve had an epic run though the last few years, it’s hard to feel too upset or angry about it IMO.

Arsenal were playing like dogshit for the past 6 weeks but seem to have turned the corner and the last 2 performances have been on par with our performances in the run in last season. Why wouldn't City do the same?

Because your best/most important player has come back from injury and ours isn't due back till the summer and might never be the same player again.

Such is sport. We'll be back.

I’m not holding my breath. But if we can some how win at Anfield tomorrow, I know, we blow the title race wide open, and that might start a winning run? Lose and the title race is definitely over.

And if we draw?

Well I hope it does improve otherwise this season is going to be remarkable for all the wrong reasons. I know the players have exerted a lot over the seasons, that's not in dispute, but this fall away in performance is quite stark. We have to find a way with the players we have available, with hopefully an addition in Jan to bolster us. I think after Sunday the picture will be a little clearer one way or the other.

Would you like to see 1 more added as well as Echeverri?

There’s nowt more dangerous than a wounded beast .. No way am I writing City off this season, even if we don’t beat the dippers today ..

This is spot on. The transition should have started in the Summer and be ongoing - but it didnt because we have a Director of Football seeing out the final months of his contract , a manager suffering some kind of breakdown, and our board trying to ensure the whole club doesn’t go up in flames at the 115 tribunal.

We are the left with the absolute mess we are in which is gonna get a whole lot worse in the next few weeks.

What the actual fuck?

A defensive or central type midfielder would be a real asset if they could hit the ground running and obviously squad size permitting.
