What They're Saying
City should be at or around the top of the table this season. They have an explosive group of attackers, creative geniuses in the midfield and a solid back line. Throw in a top-level manager and proven championship pedigree and there is no ceiling for this squad. Their biggest challenge may be avoiding complacency brought on by dominance. Also, they must keep all of their talented players happy and focused. If Pep can manage all this, they have an excellent chance to be the first repeat champions in almost a decade.
Most seasons are preceded by repetitions of “insert team who won last season’s title here look well placed to defend it this year”. Invariably, things tend to spiral from there. The vagaries of football wreck merry hell on everyone’s assumptions. Once the sheen has worn off and we come to see that teams are only ever that good for a short while, the landscape looks very different. However, with Manchester City, this isn’t just conventional lip service. There are concerns there, primarily the slightly uneven second half of last season and the potential for depth issues. Yet the aggregate gap they opened up was so large it would be foolish to suggest anything other than this: these are your indisputable 2018/19 title favourites. Have at ’em.
