Arsenal's defensive record suggest they're pretty sturdy, no?

Having thought about it I think if we get a striker we win the league.

So if we're still within 3 points or less if the top by the end of January and we've bought a striker the answer is yes.

Arsenal and Man City are the only others and they don't look as sturdy as us. Both seem very capable of having a disastrous run.
You saw in Gykores what £55 million  gets you, so a lot easier said than done.

If the right player came along I wouldn't be totally against it but we've scored 13 goals in our last 5 league games. We might well be ok if we keep that up.

Expected more. But 6 goals in 17 apps is still better than what we have right now. Add that and we're champions.

The number of goals conceded is great.

But I'm talking about their ability to throw things away.

They should have beaten a 10 man Chelsea and they should have held on for a draw against us. All they had to do was run it into the corner.

We wouldn't have done that.

We won’t win the league because the squad depth just isn’t there. If Konsa or Pau got injured I think that not only takes away a great player, but also fundamentally impacts our play and defensive structure. In a similar vein Cash is having a blinding season, and back up is pretty limited. Those are the most exposed areas to drop off, but Rogers being out or Kamara, for example, would have a massive impact.

That’s not really a criticism, unless it’s a freak season, it takes sustained squad building over years to win a title. We’ve progressed amazingly, but with the PSR/FFP limitations it’s very difficult to make that big step.

We have a chance. We're the form team in the League since March. Our home form is exceptional and we have a team, not a bunch of individuals being managed by one of the best ever.

I'd like to see us bring some pace in up front but we're covered In most areas of the pitch.

Man City are favourites in my view, with Arsenal second favourites. Which is nice.
