Waddle writes off Man City as title challenger | OneFootball

Former Tottenham and England winger Chris Waddle has wrote off Manchester City as a title challenger.

Waddle was reacting to City's 5-2 home thrashing by Leicester City.

He told BBC Sport: "It's the team with the biggest and fittest squad, with the least amount of injuries, that will win this league.

"Looking at the size of Manchester City's squad, I can't see them winning the league.

"I feel for the players of all squads with the number of games they have to play. They should have got rid of one cup and made internationals void for this season.

"Manchester City have games like this when it is too slow and too predictable. Pep would have been thinking that if you score two goals at home to Leicester you win the game. But I would say he needs another three or four good players to compete.

"Unless you are a Leicester fan, you would not have backed them to win the league.

"But looking at the way the league is panning out, the team with the most quality and bodies have a fair chance of winning something.

"When you take two or three quality players from any squad, that team is going to suffer badly. You might even see a team you would not expect get dragged into the relegation battle."
