Same. I thought we'd finish top 4. Never thought we'd win the title even with the good start. Like you say cracks appear and then injuries...City have dodgy moments but mostly good and Liverpool impressive in a lot of areas and new bloke scoring already and giving them a boost.
But both managers have built up their squads. Whereas even though its worked ish chopping and changing managers who all have different ideas and vision's makes it more mish mash.
