We would be very complacent to take a top 4 finish for granted.
Two wins in our last 9 games?
4 wins from our 11 games played this year, 2015.
On recent PL form we are 11th well behind Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd and others.
Our home form, fortress Eitihad, gone to pot this season with multiple defeats.
One interesting point to note when Pellegrini picked his team to face Barca last week, he only had two of his own signings in the team â€" Fernando and Martin Demichelis â€" while the seven substitutes were all his men. If Yaya had been available it would only have been one starting not two. Now what does that say about transfer policy and signings since Mancini left?
I think we will finish top 4 this season, but more scrambling to it than cruising to it.
Worrying stats but we are second in PL with only 11 games left. No worries nailed on for a top 4 I would say.
Major revamp of transfer process needed.
We'll make the top four easily. But it's not good enough these days.
