At this very moment I see Chelsea and Liverpool as fighting for the title. We just don't carry a goal-threat with a false 9 if Foden and KDB are injured. That is why losing Kane and Ronadlo is so devastating because as fans we all know the strengths and weaknesses of this side. Mahrez and Sterling can cut in to goal from the wings but defenders see it coming. We need to be able to attack the goal from all angles if we play the false 9 but Foden and KDB are the players who do this best.
I fear that the amount of football we have played, particularly the Euros, will damage us this season. Injuries are part luck. To start the season missing two vital players may be very damaging. We need to get through to the international break and hope that Foden and KDB are available afterwards. If we do, we are alive and kicking.
Other hopes: Delap seizes chances that will come his way. Jesus/Torres develop. Kayky hits the ground running in January. City take a gamble and buy an Aubameyang or Lacazette as a 1-2 season fix. All these are possible but unlikely so I think Chelsea or Liverpool will win the league this season. Man Utd have actually reduced their chances by buying Ronaldo because they do not need him. Cavani, Rashford, and Greenwood was a good pool of forwards. Now they will have to play Ronaldo and their main man could have been Greenwood who I really rate.
