Yes, league win or top 4 + FA Cup or Europa will be a successful season. It will show that we are progressing.

God abeg o, son of man is tired!

Abeg make una dead this top four yarns, Amaka must win League with his current squad of players. He and the players must believe they can win it for then to even stand a chance. If he loss out to city but win the Europa, he will be forgiven. But Thanger will fire him if he fails to win anything this season, when Van Gaal and Mourinho got sacked even after win trophies...

Man City beat a shitty westbrom that got hammered by Leeds and Arsenal, all of a sudden we can't compete with Man City for the title. Someone even implied that westbrom have good bus packing team because Alladyce is their coach. A team that is being sliced left and right by mid table teams.
Like seriously?

City will drop points, make una no worry. We also will drop points too but these one una dey talk as if they'll run away with the title is funny.
No one is running away with anything. The winner of this season's league will probably be with less than 85 points. It will be very close.

I repeat. NO TEAM IS RUNNING AWAY WITH THE LEAGUE.
We will be doing pendulum movement till the last day of the season.

City playing beautiful football recently is inconsequential. Even when they were not getting result in the past, they were still playing beautiful football. It has always been their way.

Finally, I believe the team with more luck on their side will win the league.

Thank you boss. That was how they hyped Liverpool and Chelsea, we keep telling them that Liverpool have clear deficiencies they shouted us down, that we cant compete with them. Watch City against Covid rusted Villa, they nearly would have drew that match, there was no much difference between how we won Villa and how they did even when the side they played were not on top form. West brom is clearly a very mediocre team that leeds and Arsenal took turns to hammer. This same City destroyed Burnley 5-0 sometime this season when they were not in form. I understand that they are very good at the moment, but they would soon run out of steam when games begin to come thick and fast. Outside that their first Eleven every other of their bench players are below average or out of form. They might well win, but its not cast on stone.

I remember last season when some guys thought it was the the duty of the Full backs and DM/CM to create chances. And I said that the forwards should create for themselves as it was under SAF, and that it was the primary responsibility of the CAM to create. Just look at our Assists this season and I have been vindicated (so far)

Every team has its uniqueness. If Liverpool gets their Assists from the Fullbacks, it must not apply to us.

No one is saying it is cast in stone that City will win however we are not winning games convincingly. We can still compete and i hope we win but City's chances are higher IMO.

It is one thing to dig dip occasionally and win a game by 1 goal margin but it is another thing to keep winning most of your games by 1 goal margin. Sooner or later those 1 goal victories will turn into draws cos it is not sustainable to depend on such slim margins..

Our defence almost always concedes first and therefore can't keep a clean sheet and apart from Cavani and maybe Rashford our attackers are all off form. A defence that always concedes first needs an attack that scores 3-4 goals regularly if not banana go turn iron.

Also we have been lucky with injuries so far while other teams have been decimated. There are a couple of injuries that would hamstring us but hopefully our luck with injuries holds.

This is how BlueAngel444 and Segedinho started, you and I know how it ended right?! You've got Tuchel, hence you assume you've got Pep's latest Version I guess?!

Wolves are waiting to devour what remains of already barbecued Weyrey Mighty and rinse it off the Throat with Kai Kai.

Clearly City are favourites anybody disputing that is not realistic.

In the case of our defence, they clearly need a reality check or it will cost us, but Ole can change that by charging them to be more focused in the beginning of the matches, notice that we never concede these first goals against top teams, thats might be a case of over confidence and could be addressed, our defence is shaky though.
Most competitions are won with Luck, and while its very likely that those close wins could turn to draws, the winning margin could also improve too. For 2 seasons Liverpool had no significant injuries we could be the lucky team this year. Is it me or we tend to met teams when they are mostly in form,? for example wolves and Newcastle are in dire form now, but we might meet them when they turn a corner. These things are luck and we can be lucky u know.

In the case of our forwards, lets pray Greenwood and Martial turn a corner to compliment Cavani and Rashford, those single goal wins could grow a bit bigger. Greenwood looks sharp against Liverpool last time, Ole noticed and quickly removed him not to put much pressure on him.

City could hit a rough patch. Their February fixtures is very tasty and they meet in form Monchenglabach, in UCL, City might need a strong 2nd leg to see them through, this could make them easy pickings for their next opponents in the league even if its the likes of West ham, Soton or even Leeds at Etihad who dont have any other commitments. City are favourites but lets keep our fingers crossed and watch while still winning our winnable games.

Some United fans are neither there nor here.

City won against Villa with a penalty and a goal that would have been offside if the referee knew what he was doing.

City may be doing good but as long as we keep our consistency, we are winning the league.

City was utterly dominant against Aston Villa they could have scored 4 or 5. I don't know why are you are referring to Aston Villa match like City was lucky or something.

City and Liverpool will dominate most EPL teams. It's the reason they have been successful in recent times. They even dominate games they lost.

They could have scored more but they didn't.

Rather, they won with a penalty and a controversial goal.

The fact is City was utterly dominant against Aston Villa . So highliting that game to prove a point is weird.

Its funny how despite going top, we havent been title favourites at any point by bookmakers and pundits. Only among united fans.

Tell me a league game City has played this season without being dominant, with the exception of against Liverpool.

My highlighting that game shows they may be good but not invincible.

Good news is, we are going to of table today.

I did not say anything different. We either win the league or aim for top 4 plus a trophy. OGS must win something, no time to check time!

We need to win some of our big games, for us to land the title. We can’t continue to lose and/or play draw against the big boys.

I know that. We were just unfortunate that most of the big games we could have won came when we were having team fitness issue at the beginning of the season. The one that came (Liverpool) when we became settled, we played a draw due to bad luck , cos we could have easily won that game, but it happens.
The big game W will come eventually.

Our wins are not convincing. Individual brilliance is helping the team, we don’t score team goals as such. Hmmmmm, this our winning streak is not sustainable o.

City dey ball, I just hope that the absence of KDB will be a blessing.

We must win some of those games in the second half of the season.

Saying we are winning because of individual brilliance doesn't make sense. Because it's not as if Rashford or Bruno or pogba dey dribble 10 people to score. It's normal routine goals we are scoring na.
We don't play tiki taka to be passing into the opposition net, if that is what you are expecting.

Even if you are right, I believe the reason why we have good players is because of that and we are a big team because of players who can do that. The likes of Pep spend big on players so that he can have players like that.

The talk of our win not convincing is comical.

Different teams have different coaches with different philosophies and styles.

Everyone thought tiki taka was the best thing until Madrid won 3 UCLs with something different.

Our style of play is different from Liverpool's and City's.

Take our recent win for example, how are those goals individual brilliance?

Even the free kick was as a result of Fred's pass to Cavani.

Reality is so hard for some Dudes to accept, they would rather be optimistic regardless to Situations on Ground. Well it's not bad to be optimistic, but at some point, man must be realistic to save himself from had I known.

We can be optimistic that Nigeria Army would defeat Boko Boys, but in Reality lots need to be done to achieve the Feat. You've got to equipped Army with sophisticated Arsenal as well as drilled them well tactically and professionally.

Buhari lamped Buratai and Co because they're are not getting the Results as expected by Nigerians. Football and War have something in common, they are not won on Papers, rather on the Fields.

Even if you are right, I believe the reason why we have good players is because of that and we are a big team because of players who can do that. The likes of Pep spend big on players so that he can have players like that.

Superstar players should be in the team for grinding out results when the going is tough. We have been bailed several times this season by displays from Rashford, Bruno and Pogba. Is it a tough or bad patch right now? No! We believe we are doing well, even though we are winning by one or two goal margin, when we now lose form nko? What will happen? We start playing draws?

Let’s be realistic jare, City needs to drop lots of points and we need to win most of our games before we can say the title is ours. Unfortunately, those guys are playing very well right now, the defence is tighter and is the best in the league, the attack is sharp (no Aguero o), and the manager is fantastic.

Anyway, let’s hope for the best!
