City spent GAZILLIONS for several seasons. And even at that it's only this season that it's really come together for em. And even still, they've not won the league yet. And they're out of the cups and had a crap CL. So stats not great for them maybe, but you gotta think they are on an upswing.
We invested last season, sure, but I didn't expect us to rocket to the top this year. There is still work to do. But compared to the last two seasons, which were pretty forgettable, I think at least this year that we've deserved way more than we've got. Last season there was an feeling that we got what we deserved. This season we're scrating our heads wondering why we've not got way more.
We'll make changes up front in the summer. I've no doubt. If we do, we'll come back stronger again. The players will be more settled. And this season we've a cup in the back pocket and still in another.
Look at Chelsea, 7 pts ahead or whatever, but I just feel we're in better shape as a squad than they are (for several reasons). Stats might not bear that out, but there you go. Maybe it's red-tinted specs, I dunno.
I just feel better about the club this season, whatever the stats might be saying.
