Manchester City

Say what you want about Mancini maybe not being quite up to it, I think they've pretty much got the best squad in the league right now.

This front four has the potential to be absolutely devastating.

--------Balotelli
Silva----Tevez---Aguero

I think it will be between them and the mancs for the title.

[JohnDoe]

That front four will never be played. No defence, and Tevez won't stay.

They are a good team on paper but that's where it ends.

I'll stick my neck out and say they'll drop out of the top 4, and Mancini will be sacked.

[Shaggy]

I fancy them for the title.

[JohnDoe]

Don't think they've got a chance with Mancini as manager.

Fancy them to be an epic failure this season.

It's red mancs or Chelsea for the title.

That front four is fine at home if you play with two holding players in midfield.

No ****ing chance they will drop out of the top four.

[Gaz]

Balotelli didn't show anything exceptional in terms of form in the league last season and i've seen little in pre-season to show that will change, Tevez will most likely be off which leaves that front 4 looking pretty different, still not convinced by Dzeko either

I think that they'll be top 4 again but if Tevez does leave then it will be interesting to see how they cope without him

[Mike]

They will never win the league under Mancini.

[JohnDoe]

That front four is unbalanced even with two holding players. Aguero, Silva and Balotelli (what's he done to deserve a starting spot?) don't track back. Besides, Mancini's in love with defensive midfielders, he won't break up his safe three in the middle.

No ****ing chance they will drop out of the top four.

If we break into the top four and Arsenal stay there, City can drop out. It's not beyond the realms of possibility. Aguero isn't really an upgrade on Tevez, certainly not Tevez of last season. I don't see major improvement in that team.

[Mostar]

Same here.

They got so much depth and quality that even Hodge would lead them to the title..

[Rich]

They had the best squad last season and they have the best squad this season.

I have my doubts about Mancini. I guess it depends on whether he's willing to unleash the attacking potential of the team. The other issue will be keeping the squad from rupturing apart off the field.

But with the money they've spent they should have the best and bigger squad.

Kompany is a great player. Plus Hart is a good keeper. Richards can be excellent and players like Zabaleta are underrated. I'd say their defence is pretty good.

It'll be how they blend their midfielders and attackers.

[Arn]

I don't see any problem with the way Mancini built the squad. He built from the back as most managers do. He more or less copied the way we played with Rafa as manager.

As I said before. They now have the pace in Aguero to be able to play the Rafa system much better than they have done before.

Rock solid centrally. Great attacking fullbacks and pace upfront.

[Arn]

The only thing they don't have is a midfield playmaker. They will probably get that when they sign up Nasri if they do that.

Silva?

[Rich]

Kolarov is a weak link.

Utter ****e last season.
