You can't rule it out. You underestimate the strength of their pact with the devil. I just hope City go for the jugular and keep winning instead of just trying to look good, as they have in their last few games. I've little confidence in either Chelsea or Arsenal.
There's a falsity with them which is all on the back of those win against us and Arsenal.
Don't forget, a month previous from that they lost away to Chelsea, City, Arsenal and bloody Hull. They were outplayed by Chelsea and Arsenal too.
You watch those Arsenal and Everton games. They're so similar in their goals and the way both teams set up its unreal. Goals coming from set-pieces, hoofs, cock ups, and passes from the halfway line that split defenses.
You watch them against Albion and Villa who lined up with 2 banks of 4, hussled them, and hit them on the break. Both games they struggled to have shots on target for the majority.
Its not rocket science. Chelsea etc will already know this but have the players to hurt them. Which will happen.
