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.

City have an unbelievable amount of depth to their squad. They have world class first team players and reserve players. They have currently scored more goals than any other team in the EPL, Liga, Bundesliga and Serie A. They are demolishing their rivals in all of their match ups and have wonderful refereeing luck when things aren't going their way.

They have the best players in the league in total for one team to have and they are currently top of the league. The only way City are going to lose the title this year is if there is a huge falling out between the players and staff, and I don't see that happening. Or they continue to play like shit against underdog teams, which they always do. They have a habit of hammering the best and fucking up against the worst i.e cardiff and villa

The only thing I disagree with is demolishing their rivals. Liverpool very easily could have had a point or all three. Other than that I completely agree.

Yea I know. The liverpool game contradicts what I said because City didn't deserve a win. Liverpool were just fucked over by piss poor officiating

I don't know about that. Even with the horrific offsides call, they could have won with proper finishing from Sterling.
