Good thing is they have not looked that great for a couple of games now. I hope we perform at home.
Definitely. That's the subtext to this result. And their last one. Dramatic comeback victories but beneath that they've struggled in two matches they should have won without really breaking sweat.

That's how you win titles. Sadly.
By struggling to best the worst team in the league at home?

Come on, City have been woeful. They should have tanked this shitty WHU side. They've been poor for quite a few games now certainly don't look like champions. Let's see what happens after they come out of this easy run of fixtures.

They're wildly over-rated.

They're scraping wins against mid table and lower league sides, while we're beating Arse and Spuds.

Look past the media hype and look with your own eyes, they're a good PL side who are being given way, way too much respect.
They need someone to beat them to prove they aren't unbeatable. Their record is very similar at this stage to what it was in 11/12, then Chelsea beat them and they dropped a lot more points in the second half of the season.

They just seem destined to dominate for a few years yet. Oh well. These are the kind of performances and results that created our dynasty.
Nah. Think once Pep is gone they will sink and be contending for top 4 again. We need 3 players in the summer and I think we will be close next season.

I feel the title is soon won even if we beat them. They are not going to drop points against the shit teams no matter what bloody happens.

Still though I say just forget the title. I just bloody want to beat them and stop the run they got. Come on we can beat them next week if we perform at the top!

That's true. I barely see their players trying a dribbling.
It's really the only area you could say they are 'weak' despite being quite special already. When they reach another gear with another addition or two, they will be even more difficult to beat than they already are.

You can see it now, teams can get a result against them by capitalizing on turnovers or the few chances they can create but if you let them get ahead of you, hard to see them become vulnerable

Can't stand that this is a performance "Champions do", winning when not playing their best.
But it comes after a period where City looked untouchable. Now they're huffing and puffing to win 'banker' home games. Sucks they'll win but still some encouragement there.
