Considering the narrative it is pretty easy to write the analysis already now. It is that predictable.

You are totally right
Throaters if we dont win Serie A + R of 16 in CL:
- So many new players give him time. This can change from needing 3 months to 6 months to another season or two.
- Last season doesn't count because it's a mostly new team.
- Inter and Milan strengthened, winning > challenging > top 4 is a big ask.
- De Ligt leaving screwed us. Chiellini retired. No more leaders.
- Alex Sandro is dead
- Some player got injured.
- Conte isnt challenging for the EPL thats a bigger failure
Haters if we win Serie A + R of 16 in CL:
- Weak ass and broke Serie A.
- Ugly football.
- CL is what matters.
- Vlahovic would have score more if he was at City
