I have a feeling we will concede an early goal against Burnley. First few minutes against newly promoted sides are very difficult. These teams believe they can beat all the teams in the world on the opening day.

It is possible, but when I remember that we had the best defence of the league, and we added an absolute beast of a defender in Felipe Luis, plus Courtois, plus Matic in full fitness, I think we'll not even see our GK in that game, just like Hull City last year.Costa to score in a 2-0 victory.

How is the Man City 0-1 Chelsea match not there? That was such an emphatic performance.

City still have the strongest squad, by far...

Exactly...

Because we bought costa, pple forgot that it was only because Aguero was injured a lot that he didn't challenge Suarez. Pple forget that they have jovetic, negredo on the bench, while we have torres and Drogba.

Because we bought fabregas, people forgot the best CM in Europe last season still plays for mancity (toure)

Our defense is better, but that's it. Infact our defense will get caught out on the counter if we let our fullbacks attack as much as mancity does. That's why Mourinho is keeping the two keepers because they are playing a more important role than they got before so we can afford an injury to one.

We improved but they are still stronger.

Their depth in the fullback and striker area, in particular, is ridiculously good. Pretty much all those players are in their prime as well whilst we have a lot of important players who haven't hit theirs yet like Hazard, Costa, Oscar and Courtois. It'll be an amazing feat if we manage to beat that squad to the league.

Of course they do. All we did in the last 3 transfer windows was shipping out quality squad players (luiz, cole, lamps, lukaku, kdb, mata etc) and replacing them by probable first team players (luis, fabregas, costa, matic) resulting in players of lesser quality than of those we sold heading to the bench. Does not really make our squad much stronger, only our first team will improve. In the process we nedlessly reduced our squad size. When we get an injury crisis and the African players leave for the ACN, our chances of winning the league will not be greater than last season. Especially when once again we don't put any trust in our youth players to boost the numbers and help out once in a while.

Defense is still their achilles heel, remains to be seen how Mangala adapts, but still..

Out of that backline 'including keepers', only Kompany would break into our side.

at putting Zabaleta as the second choice RB..

how many HG are there in their team anyway? English I spot Hart, Milner and Lamps, but any of those foreigners are HG?

Yes. Clichy is considered as a HG player.

Agreed, but I was hinting more at their squad depth tbh. They have more than decent players in almost every position.
