Will we win the league this season?

[Damanino]

we need to visit bogey places like Anfield, Spurs, Palace stadiums, and some harder fixtures like Bournemouth, Chelsea, Newcastle away etc.
sadly cannot see us getting much in these if they up their speed and physicality which we cannot match more often than not.

before another int. break we have City-Bournemouth, City-Liverpool, Bournemouth is flying high despite their losing their whole defence Iraola still managing to get them play well and get results. they will test us at Etihad.
then Liverpool who are in a deep shit form, lost even to rags at home, surely we cannot allow them to do us at our own pitch.
we lost both fixtures last year tho.

my issue is I dont think there is another level in likes of Doku, Savinho, Bernardo, and running out of patience on Foden too. if these start most games and dont deliver week in week out, thats a big issue. add in Reijnders, who aint really pulling up trees apart from his very first game, and Marmoush, Cherki needs to play regularly as they will not be able to show their best in rotational role.

will we even score a goal in next 5 games if Haaland would get injured or he fires blank in all? not sure.

 

[Stelea]

No

 

[Gray]

I am just hoping we get to 40pts ASAP.

 

[Brad mcfc]

We need others to step up, can't rely on haaland every game

 

[northendenton]

Not on today's showing sorry

 

[City Raider]

only chance is Rodri being able to play every game at previous levels - too big an ask i think

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

We were unlucky.


Better?

I need persuading as to your sincerity…

It's only been a quarter of the season. Everyone chill out.
It's only been half of the season. Everyone chill out.
It's only been 30 games. Everyone chill out.

Delete as applicable.

Think we’re doing what teams that finish fourth or fifth habitually do, which is throw in too many wank performances.

I do think we’ll be much better in the new year. And can’t be entirely discounted to win the league. But think it’s unlikely.

And I think we’ll be a real force again next season.

Maybe it’s Arsenal’s turn.

God help us all!

No chance, we are decent but that is it

I think we'll see another 3 or 4 of today's showings this season.

Deffo. Think we’ll have some top days too. We already have. Especially in Europe.

At our other bogey clubs no doubt

Not sure I’d classify Villa as a bogey club just yet. Prior to a couple of years ago, it was our best away ground in the PL era iirc. We’ve had some great days there. Both before and after 1st September 2008.

And before the PL came into being too.

No way are Villa a bogey club.

Yes, they'll be some crackers.

 

[citymad]

On that performance not a chance. Besides, it’s been a long time since we’ve beaten a top team.We should make top 4 though…hopefully.

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

Arsenal will win it as I always thought they would. Their defence is incredible.

Only if teams could defend corners against them (including us)

thanks for making my weekend even worse because that’s a reality check right there.

We are shite away from home. Way too lightweight.

We have 16 points from 9 games.

Probably need 70 from 27 with only 81 to play for to even have a chance as mid 80’s usually needed at least.

Pretty unlikely based on that!

Arsenal have gradually become the masters of the set piece and defending. And with it being the new formula for winning games you can’t see past them as champions. It might also see them winning the Champs league unless PSG’s all power attacking prevails. As for the PL title, I think it could become the most comfortable title win for many years.
