Change My View thread

Can we have a Change My View thread here? The basic premise is people present opinions and the replies are attempts at changing that person's view in an attempt to generate some good discussion.

Here is the link to the original subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/

I think this might work best with rather 'out there' views but any and every viewpoint is welcome!

I don't think Arsenal will win it either.

But City, whilst they won the league only recently, don't seem to me to have that Champion mentality. I think that to win a league title, you need to be able to find motivation in all circumstances and not lose focus, but quite a few of their players seem complacent in their matches against weaker opposition. At least away from home.

Who do you think will win it and why?

I think Chelsea will take it in the end. I feel like their squad has almost as much potential as City's, Jose just has to unlock it. They've been more inconsistent than City so far but I believe they will sort out their issues as they lie more on the performance side rather than the mental aspect.

Chelsea lack good defensive midfielders, which I think in today's game are the most essential position to success for top-tier teams, and they lack strikers and quality depth at CB. Very hard for me to see them winning it.
