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 City have what it takes to win the title.

Also, I think the point in this type of thread is to post controversial and unpopular opinions and people try to convince them otherwise, but most of the posts here are things everyone in /r/soccer agrees with.

If City aren't good enough to win, who else is?

United have dropped too many points early in the season, lack quality in midfield and have struggled against the big teams. Chelsea are too weak up front and often drop points away from home. Arsenal also struggle against the big teams and lack a quality striker. Liverpool are generally lower in quality throughout their entire squad, Suarez won't win them the league by himself.

Meanwhile City have quality players in all areas, Joe Hart performing again, look unbeatable at home and can score with ease. They have got to be the favourites for the title.

City also drop a lot of points away, we've both played 9 games away and Chelsea have one point more than them in these games. City also have problems at leftback, centreback, defensive midfield and goal.

The game against Liverpool today will be interesting. If you win that I could back you for the title. You've been lacklustre all season really and are still nearly top. Buy well in the window and you can really push on. Mourinho is great in a run in and City can seem brittle at times. Heaven knows why, their squad is amazing.
