I really don't think we can win the prem this season. However, I had a chat with my reporter mate at lunchtime. He is of a different opinion (remember he's an avid manc). He said if we go on a run, we could do it. The reasons he gave me are as follows.
Manchester City: Clearly not the same team from the first 5 matches of the season, as you ably demonstrated, and Aguero may be out for a month.
Arsenal: Serious injury problems and lack of squad depth is a major issue.
Manchester United: We are **** and only where we are because the whole prem is ****e.
Chelsea: Just too far behind to have any chance of winning it.
Leicester City: Will blow up sooner or later, probably when they play you.
No mention of anyone else.
We're 6 points off top with a run of winnable games coming up. He's a gambling man and he's putting some serious money on us, as he thinks there's a genuine possibility. I'm not, but I'm going to have a fiver on it.
So do you share his views, or is it just 'unthinkable'?

The good thing is Klopp will have had time come January to assess the squad and won't be shooting blind when it comes to improving it.
