Can City still win the title?
Of course we can, though it is going to be very very difficult.
Clawing back 7 points in 13 games is tough enough, but moreso when the leaders are Chelsea. It means we have to go to the likes of Man Utd, Spurs and Liverpool and probably win at least 2 and draw 1.
Chelsea have a tough run of 4 games in 2 weeks. The COC final against Spurs and 3 days later away at West Ham. A week later they face PSG at home then Southampton 4 days after that. Apart from those games, their hardest matches appear to be Arsenal away and Liverpool at home. Getting to the latter stages of the CL may hinder them and make another tough looking set of fixtures playing Utd at home just after a CL fixture and Arsenal away after the next CL game. The Liverpool home game would be slap bang in between the CL semis (if they get that far).
I felt that, if Everton had held on last night, pressure would have switched to Chelsea again as 5 points seems small enough to drag back.
Will we do it? I doubt it but it certainly would be amazing if we did.

Re: Can City still win the title?
It'd require us to pretty much go the rest of the season unbeaten.
I can see Chelsea dropping the odd points here and there, but with it being 7 points, it'd mean at least 2 defeats for them, as I can't see us going undefeated.
It's about momentum, something we had in December then threw away. We need to get back to scoring plenty of goals again like last night.
The sooner we can bridge at least 2, maybe 4 points back off them the better, as that will then increase the pressure further and Jose will go back to his usual 'protect a lead' mentality, which gives teams a chance against them.

I highly doubt it. It would be a brilliant achievement if we did.

Re: Can City still win the title?
It would be as good as anything if we can win the league this season. That's mean we'd have won titles back to back - very difficult in itself. It would also mean we'd have clawed back deficits against Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea. That would be some hat trick.
