Utd are truely awful.. more of the same dire sh1te

Brutal stuff.

That Livramento is a handy player for Newcastle. Lightening quick.

Those Spurs jerseys are awful, no reason for them not to be wearing their normal white strip.

Another mad game. City while still the best team in the league are a lot more vulnerable than than have been for a few seasons.

No they aren't. They've lost as many games as Liverpool and Arsenal combined and are in 3rd place.

Ah, of course City are the best team. A run of 3 tough games resulted in draws v Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs, but they were the better team in all 3 games and the opponents were the ones relieved to get the point.

Arsenal pretty lucky to get narrow wins in their last two games against middlin opposition and Liverpool absolutely blessed to beat Fulham today. Conceding 3 goals at home v Fulham and needing some great goals to get the late victory. Liverpool only drew with Luton, who are awful, and should be beating Fulham without breaking sweat.

But in soccer the best team doesn't always win, and hopefully some complacency seeping into City with all the silverware in their pockets might give a glimmer of hope to Arsenal and Liverpool.

City have an away trip to Villa on Wednesday. We'll know more then.

City are doing the same as they did last season to peak at the right time... they went on a run after Christmas and cleaned all before them I fully expect history to repeat itself!

Villa drew with Bournemouth today, Bournemouth are 4 points better than Luton though so could be hard to tell how Villa approach that game

It was as much Arsenal falling away. 42 points Man City accumulated in their first 19 games last season and finished up with 89 points. Mid 80 points could well be enough to win the league title this season.

A rested De Bruyne coming back in January will be hard for Arsenal to compete with.

[thewobbler]

City still the best team. They've another gear. They're still the best squad too.

But, apart from being ridiculously overcompensated in central defence, the gap in depth of squad between them and the other contenders isn't what it has been in recent seasons. Hence they've had a core of 7-8 players starting every week and finishing most matches.

The ability to rotate means they've not had to do this in recent years. And unless Guardiola has made a pact with the devil, it has to take its toll. Pushing on in January might just take more out of them than expected. And here's hoping.

That's no harm. Villa will need to bounce back, they know they were lucky to get the draw and that a big improvement is needed. City will be riled up with how the Spurs game ended, but Rodri is usually a big loss for them and he has to serve a 1 match ban for 5 yellows.

Grealish suspended also and Doku could be injured.
Villa have won 6 from 6 at home according to Newstalk yesterday evening so it should be a great game.
Wonder when was the last time Man City didn't win for 4 games in a row?
