Today shows why we won't be anywhere near the title standings come May. We shit the bed whenever we play a big team. It's City's to win who have found their rhythm.
In 08/09,
We lost to Liverpool twice.
We drew and lost to Arsenal.
We drew and beat Chelsea once.
We drew and beat Everton.
We drew and beat Aston Villa.
We lost and beat Fulham
So against the top 4 teams, we only collected 5 points out of 18 points. And against 5th, 6th, 7th, we have only collected 11 points out of 18 points. This season is pretty much similar to that 08/09 season where there were 3 horse races which likely to be this season, other top teams lost points against the mid table and low table teams and we struggled to get 3 points against the top teams and yet still won the league.
It will be nice to win games against the top teams like what we did last season but doesn’t mean unable to get 3 points against them this season we can’t keep going until may to challenge the title.
