City had this league won weeks ago. They won it this time last season with a 25 match winning run. During this busy period their squad comes into its own. People really are clutching at straws hoping for them to drop points. City gain strength from others showing weakness and Chelsea as well as ourselves have shown plenty of weakness and they thrive off it and when given the chance they take full advantage. We have not even put them under pressure.
We pick up knocks to 2 or 3 and we are scratching round for players who are going to create or be matchwinners.
The other day I named kdb, gundogan, bernardo silva, grealish, foden, Jesus, sterling, torres, mahrez, as just 9 potential matcheinners in terms of creativity as well as goalscorers for them. Didnt think of Rodri.
Salah and Mane don't do it for us ... we are really short ... not just on goals but creativity as well, especially in midfield.
We need to concentrate on CL now and try and stay as strong as we can in 2nd or 3rd and try and win a cup. We are capable of doing that.
City will spend at least 100-200m net in the Summer. They want another striker ... kane or haaland or someone else. They will invest heavily. So im struggling to see how we refresh our squad to challenge next season. In 6 months Mo enters his final year. If ge goes in the summer that will at least give Jürgen some funds to refresh the squad. Dont want Mo to leave but it's looking more and more likely in my view.
