The 2024-25 season was a disappointing one for Manchester City – they finished fourth and missed out on a place in the Champions League.<\/p>\n
But their failure to qualify for Europe might prove a blessing in disguise.<\/p>\n
City are on a 10-game winning streak and thriving under Jeglertz, who has reignited the club’s title ambitions and introduced an energetic, high-pressing brand of football since arriving in July.<\/p>\n
“They’ve just gone about their business quietly and grown in confidence, and I think if you’re six points clear at the end of Christmas then you’d be looking forward to that break and to go again in January,” ex-England defender Lindsay Johnson told BBC Radio 5 Live.<\/p>\n
“They’re showing they’ve got what it takes to go and win this league and take it from Chelsea possibly. Their quality is hard to deal with.”<\/p>\n
But Jeglertz is not getting carried away.<\/p>\n
“We can’t take anything for granted. What we have done, nobody will take that away from us but it’s in spring that everything will be determined,” he said on 5 Live.<\/p>\n
City’s tally of 30 points from their opening 11 games has only been bettered once in the last eight WSL campaigns, with Chelsea picking up 31 points last season.<\/p>\n
The team that have been top after 11 matches has gone on to lift the trophy in six of the last eight seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2024-25 season was a disappointing one for Manchester City – they finished fourth and missed out on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":345604,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-345603","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=345603"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345603\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/345604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=345603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=345603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=345603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
