Agree totally.....
Also, I don't think they would actually necessarily get knocked out straight away
The big test for Martinez will be when he needs to replace Jagielka, Distin, Baines and Coleman. Coleman is the only one who hasn't peaked yet but it's rumoured that united wNt him for big money and when you add Howard into the mix, then he is potentially going to need to replace his entire back 5 within the next 2/3 years. Very comparable to wenger at arsenal - I reckon he had an easy start when he first joined arsenal because the defense effectively looked after themselves.... Martinez had wigan playing lovely football but they couldn't defend for ****...
Anyway..... Back to the title race...... City looked very good last night - but it's hard to judge against such **** opposition...
