I don’t think City are going just through a bad patch, they are heamoraging. Take away losing Rodri for the season which is a far bigger loss than Odegaard for them. Bernardo Silva, De Bruyne, Stones, Ederson and Walker are not the players they were…Grealish and Foden are off the boil and they can’t just buy their way out of their problem

Liverpool? I’m sorry they just don’t impress me. I think they won against a wasteful Villa team last night…with the exception of us they haven’t really been tested. They were lucky to beat Chelsea and get a point from us, and aside from that they’ve had by far the easiest fixtures.

We’ve been in shocking form since the last international break. And we definitely, definitely need a striker. There’s no way we can win the league without signing one in January. We’ve ridden our luck at times but so have a lot of teams. That’s my takeaway that no side has looked good, and because of an obdurate manager we could be in danger of missing the open opportunity to get to the top of the pack
Yeah you are probably right, at the very least we need to go on a deep winning run and it needs to start now.

I agree with you regarding City, they basically need to rebuild parts of their squad but that doesn't happen overnight. I still think they have the potential to go on a deep winning run assuming they improve, i mean they will improve, as will we.

Yep, Liverpool are being talked up but they haven't even been that good, I wasn't impressed with them against us and I've seen bit and pieces of their other games and they have not looked convincing. Despite that, 9 points is a lot to make up on them.
