So many weird results already. Keeping consistent is going to be huge this year - European games going to potentially cause havoc with lots of contenders too.

Yes, this season could be another Leicester due to the lack of pre season, the sheer amount of games to be played especially for the teams in Europe, the lack of fans and probably a lot of injuries.

If any team can get a bit of consistency and stay relatively injury free, it could be a very strange looking table at the end of the season.

People talk about the defense all the time but the thing that set the City side apart was how Silva and De Bruyne both controlled midfield and created loads. They haven't found a proper Silva replacement and pushed it all onto De Bruyne. It looks worse even when KDB plays, take him out and City start to look fairly average.

Haven't replaced the quality of Silva yet...haven't replaced Kompany at the back...add to that Fernandinho is getting on, and is injured more than he's not these days, he was superb a few years ago at protecting their backline...

This is not the same City team as 2-3 years ago

The way they used to suffocate teams is completely gone. They aren't penetrating with their passing, they aren't pressing and they don't defend. They basically are just waiting for individual brilliance every game.

Yep the intensity has completely gone. They do normally take a bit to get into their rhythm but its all very slow and ponderous at the minute. Complete lack of creativity which is criminal for the talent they have. That DM duo of Rodri and Gundogan isnt great.

I'm not sure what Gundogan even does.
