Even after three straight wins, #MCFC are a very difficult team to make sense of this season. But perhaps it's all part of their growth journey? Read my thoughts in the new Totally City Substack post 🩵

Growing pains

Manchester City have won three on the bounce and are well in the title race, but what comes next will be all important

The refereeing wasn't great on Saturday, but I was far more frustrated by #MCFC's wastefulness and defensive frailty against Newcastle. It will cost them the title this season if they don't improve. Read more in the latest Totally City Substack post 🩵

Wasteful, wobbly and a bit soft

Decry refereeing decisions all you want, but Manchester City's biggest problems are of their own making this season

I was pretty downbeat about #MCFC's title chances after they lost at Villa Park the other week, but the performances and results since then have blown a hole in my pessimism. Here's my latest post for the Totally City Substack 🩵

After a pair of one-nils yesterday, I'm struggling to see how Arsenal don't win the title this season, and how #MCFC will get anywhere near them. It's not a crisis, just reality. Read all about it in my new Totally City Substack post 🩵

Back to square one

Manchester City's defeat at Aston Villa wasn't a disaster, but it did give us the biggest indicator of their title chances this season yet

#MCFC are on a great run of form at the moment, but will their thinly veiled problems catch up with them eventually? That's what I've written about in this week's Totally City Substack post 🩵

Just how good are Manchester City?

Saturday's win continued a strong run, but the underlying stats perhaps tell a different story

Recent results have forced me to reassess my pre-season belief that #MCFC weren't good enough to win the Premier League title this year. Read all about it in my new Totally City Substack post 🩵

After eight games played in all competitions, it feels like a good time to give every #MCFC player a mark out of 10 for their performances so far this season, so that's what I've done in my new Totally City Substack post 🩵

Sunday's performance wasn't pretty from #MCFC, and the late equaliser was a kick in the teeth, but the approach and result showed encouraging signs of progress. Read all about it in my new Totally City Substack post 🩵

Two points dropped or one point gained?

Manchester City couldn't quite cling on to win at Arsenal, but the draw was still a decent result
