Super Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 What an achievement winning 32 out of 38 games. Not sure we will see that again for a very long time in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 It will be difficult to repeat it but I wouldn`t put it past them. It`s one thing knowing how they play but quite another to combat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 THey could do it again but I could see them pushing the league aside a bit around champions league matches. They will want to win that badly. Though they have a long way to go. Was watching today and thinking back to midweek. They weren’t at it really. I know the league has been won for awhile but the best teams keep going out trying to destroy everyone. I didn’t really see that today. I know they won but that was more credit to their quality rather than their mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit harsh questioning the mentality of a team that has won 32 out of 38 games and achieved 100 pts for the first time in premier league history?!

True but that’s not the point..you look at the second string of say Man Utd/Spurs/chelsea/Liverpool/arsenal it is nowhere near the strength in depth city have they will continue to dominate if that is the signings they make just for cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kompany, Silva, Fernandinho so they will need replacing at some stage. They are big players, also still a lot of talk about Sergio going back to Spain. They may only win it by ten points next season!

OldlandReddies Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Man Utd finished a clear 2nd which says it all. A very poor Premier League this season in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably but for me just didn’t seem at it today. The competitor in me wants to see that desire to win every game. Didn’t see it today is all.

Not sure we will see that again for a very long time in the Premier League. Not until we get there at least and blitz the league with 38 wins. In all seriousness, though, it's a great achievement. It's difficult to see how teams will be able to keep up with them next season as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 5 hours ago, Super said: What an achievement winning 32 out of 38 games. Daft thing is, they struggled against Bristol City. Looking round though; Man C won the Premiership with a large margin as did TNS in Wales, Celtic in Scotland, PSG in France , Bayern in Germany. In Northern Ireland Crusader won the League by just two points, but they were 22 points ahead of the third placed club. In the Irish Republic where they play in the Summer, half way through their season and UCD are opening a gap at the top. I fear the Champions League revenue is putting some clubs so far ahead, the question now is becoming who will finish 2nd this year? Worse still, in England the question was will Burnley finish 6th or 7th? This is not healthy competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 100 points, over 100 goals and a record margin of 19 points. Might be wrong, but going to guess it's record away points or at the very least record a record for away wins in a PL season of 38 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Maybe if teams did not bend over for them each game and actually tried to beat them, they might not have got that far ahead. Barcelona lost 5-4 last night because Levante actually attacked them, rather than just sit back and let them pass it around. They were 5-1 up at one point. Hoping that next year, the Premier League clubs will actually try and compete against them. Man City will be desperate to win the Champions League, afterall, that is what Pep was brought in to do. It did take him two years and £500 million (+ the squad he inherited) to achieve what Pelligrini achieved after one season. As @Robin TBW says, they dont get a special Trophy for winning the league in the manner they did, it's the same one that Chelsea won last year.

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 I mean, with their players, depth, philosophy they would still have won more often than not. Tottenham and even Arsenal in their home game had decent possession and in the case of the latter number of chances too, still conceded 3 at home and both lost to Man City. All sides have their weaknesses- but with great ones they are very hard to exploit to maximum effect- Pep's Barcelona frequently demolished sides in big games- both in La Liga and in Europe- sometimes sides are just superior for a period.
