I remember many mid table teams state they want to reach the safety point of 40points.
We are not even at that point yet.
While it is unlikely to happen, we could just only draw with an awful Sunderland team yesterday and I simply have no faith in our poor goalkeeper and defence.
We used to rely on our attack to score more than our leaky defence, Benteke couldn't buy a goal, Sturridge will reinjure himself quite soon, possibly after February 28th if I'm being cynical and our midfield, well goals to them are an endangered species.
Can, Henderson, Milner, Ibe, Lucas, Allen - the most goal shy midfielders in our club history.
The only thing in our favour is that some of the teams below are even more dire than we are.

I think you are forgetting city could only beat sunderland 1-0. We lead 2-0, and should of killed the game. We even beat leicester at home, it should be our fortress. If people want to turn it into a graveyard of ill emotion then our home form will probably be that of a relegation team.

If I think about it, Sunderland, Villa and Norwich are too far away to trouble our position.
If we played any of those teams next week, I would not be confident we could win though.
As for where we will finish, I imagine 10th to 16th this year.
Our squad is too small, too many injuries, in all cup competitions, too many players out of form, I can't see us getting on a run in the Prem.
Our winning run has been 2 games this season, so this is where we will stay.

The only thing in our favour is that some of the teams below are even more dire than we are. We also used to be able to rely on our 12th man but hey ho. And yes we could get relegated based on current form but I doubt we will. Imagine paying £77 to watch a Championship game. That'll keep a few of you happy!

And the longest winning run is also a massive 5 games, by arsenal is it not? ok, perhaps soon to eclipsed by tottenham if they win their next 2. teams aren't much better than us as you imagine, we just haven't had city's luxury of having a system that can get results liably/consistency due to a) like you said lack of quality squad depth 'too small a squad' - therefore when you are hit by injuries it makes it twice as worse. b) lack of goalscorers, so we've had to try and use our midfield to get us the goals, which has contributed to the amount of goals we've let in, no stability.

We're 8th in the league. I think you need to take a break from this forum and go outside.
