Former Manchester United striker Andy Cole feels that Manchester City are not quite good enough to win a Premier League title.
The 39-year old, who won five titles at Old Trafford, believes that the style of football played under Roberto Mancini will not cut it although he does predict that the Citizens will surely be up and around the mark for years to come.
"They'll be up there, but challenging realistically to win it playing the way they do?" said Cole. "I don't think the Premier League can be won the way they play football.
"You can't go to the Emirates, come away with a draw, and think that's a good result.
"Manchester United can't come to Eastlands with you sitting back and being delighted with a draw when you're the home team.
"We're totally different to the Italian league. Here, you must score goals, people want to be on the edge of their seats.
"The Barclays Premier League is the most exciting league in the world and goals are what it's about. Mancini's Italian and you can't see him changing his mindset.
"They wanted to finish in the Champions league spots this season, fair enough. But if they're saying they want to win the Premier league...playing like that?!
"Let's be brutally honest, I don't think any team can win the Premier league playing like that."
