We City supporters appear to be generally quite pessimistic about the remainder of the season. Nobody has lost more than us. We cannot defend. We're piss poor in midfield. We're a random mess up front. We're leadersless. Our manager is useless. We're ****ed.
However. I've had a look at a three sources of independent analysis of our prospects.
1. The Opta supercomputer reckons that there are six sides more likely to be relegated than us. We're rated as having a 13% chance of going down.
2. The FiveThirtyEight predictor is very similar. It gives us a 15% chance of relegation with seven sides more likely.
3. Paddy Power have us as seventh favourites to do down at 4/1.
I've also heard several journalists almost dismiss fears of us going down by saying things like 'they've got too much quality' or 'they'll score enough goals' and 'they could easily win four in a row'.
And then what about the club hierachy. They clearly have faith in Rodgers and expect us to survive. When you read or listen to Rodgers, he acknowledges the situation but doesn't really seem to be overly worried about it. When the players are interviewed, they also seem quite confident.
Do we know better than the bookies, the data, the independent journalists, the club hierarchy, manager and players? Are we catastrophising?
Are we going down? It's time to show how you think things will play out. Say what you think will happen - yes or no. And once you've picked, you can't change your mind.
