    We're talking about a squad..

    There are only so many players you can stick on the bench..

    Is our Achilles heel The Midfield then?

      I've honestly not got a clue what you're on about. What does our achilles heel have to do with Man City FC? This is utterly bizarre and random.

      If you think City's weakness is that they're 'too good' then...erm...ok.

      As for squad - you think their squad is weak?? Whatever your point is, it's as clear as porridge right now.

      I'd rather have their squad than ours.

        They won't win the league. Their squad has depth but they have massively overspent on decent players rather than top class players. They won't win the league under Mancini anyway.

        They will finish 3rd or 4th.

        Top 4 will be Us, Mancs, Chelsea and City

          They have depth of course..
          But in a few wrong places..

          You are saying that because of their strike force, they may win the league..
          Yet no mention at all of anyone's defence..

          No where have I seen a positive about a DEFENCE..

          So what is it....They score 5, we score 3?

            Erm....no i didnt say that.

            You said "reason why" (they wont win it) "Strikers"

            Which is a bit

            They wont win the league because they've got loads of strikers? Utterly bizarre.

            If you'd said 'they dont have enough depth or quality in defence', then that would have been fair enough. But to suggest they wont win the title because their striking options are 'too' plentiful or too good, is just bizarre.

              What a strange thing to say.

                Why is it strange? They have a much bigger squad, more quality and more depth.

                  I wouldn't swap our squad or financial situation for theirs. Man Utd won the title with relative ease last season. Guess what? I wouldn't swap our squad for theirs either. How can you just renounce your own team like that?

                    I'm sure you change the arguments to suit you..

                    City have too many strikers.. (if there is such a thing) they will not sit them all on the bench..

                    Unless they want to stay there and pick up a wage then they will struggle..

                      Renounce Behave!

                      Is Balotelli or Dzeko better than N'Gog?

                      Do they have better depth than us?

                      Is answering those questions honestly 'renouncing' our own team?

                      They have a better squad than ours and i'd rather we had the kind of strength in depth that they do. Radical thinking there(!)

                      ****ing hell, this again

                      They will pick 4 or 5 for their PL squad of 25. And guess what, all 4 or 5 of their's will be good quality players, whereas we get to turn to N'Gog

                      The likes of Bellamy, Santa Cruz etc wont even be in their 25 man squad - how will they 'struggle' exactly because of that?

                      Will we struggle because we cant field 8 midfielders?

                        you have to say there is a lot to be said for a settled side - Chelsea and Man City could suffer from egos this season if some players don't get enough game time.

                        That being said if teams are winning and at the top of the table it seems there is less complaining.

                            There is indeed, but history tells us that clubs with good depth, who can rotate and change their team without weakening it much, tend to do better than those who have to turn to sub-standard replacements.

                            I know which option i'd prefer.

                            Would you not swap N'Gog for Balotelli? Seriously???

                              You didn't say in your original statement that you wished we had their strength in-depth. You said you would rather their squad than ours. I find that a bizarre thing to say. You'ld be happy to wave off SG, Suarez, Carra etc to be replaced with a band of ****ing mercenaries. We're oviously following LFC for very different reasons mate.

                                Dont give me that bollocks mate, i dont need your approval as to why i 'follow' LFC.

                                I'd rather have their kind of squad depth than ours. If you like it or if you dont like it, makes absolutely zero difference to my viewpoint.
