Of course city are favourites right now but if they lose against 1 or 2 top sides they could lose confidence and momentum and drop silly points everyone is capable of. Can they handle the pressure of a closer challenge and defending the title whilst going through a rough patch. If they fall behind a team can they remain calm or will they start playing over attacking trying to force the issue and again drop points.

I understand people seeing them today worry but they still have the same weak defence that can be got at. I think if we just concentrate on supporting our lads 110% by may we could be in a very promising position.

I doubt that. You could see the fear oozing out of Arsenal in the first match - admittedly, the players are still trying to attune themselves to Emery.
Apart from us and Chelsea, I don't really see any team playing City with any iota of confidence, not even Spurs - and Spurs are good enough to beat them.
But Sterling, Sane, Walker and Mahrez were on the bench, KDB was out. No one noticed. I wish we'd signed Fekir.

Someone needs to stand up to them for us to have any chance - hopefully a plucky performance like Brighton today.

Realtofel, you make some good points there. I would evenb say that Chelsea are not the finished article yet cos had they played LFC instead of Arsenal who were low on confidence, they would have gotten their arses handed to them on a plate with the chances Arsenal missed.

At this point, it's prolly only us who can give them a good go right now. BUT I will say that we can't get caught up in all that and start worrying about what City is doing and allowing that to ruin our lives and drive us mad esp. when we don't win a game (cos that will happen) . City are the Favs., end of story. We just have to try to win every game and move on from there.

Chelsea and Arsenal will come good the mancs are not as bad as they look they will get better regrettably if we can stay up and around the top 4 with them keep ourselves in the mix til January then see what happens.

As long as we match their (City) results and get 4 points off them, doesn't matter what they do.
