by mid season we could then see the point differences and then see if its enough to sustain the team till the end of the season such that they can still have that advantage over every other team in the league.
When you see a narrow points gap then the mid-season conditions alone will be just as difficult to guess who will be the league champion. So the basis of the half-season is also still difficult, except for the condition of a fairly large point difference. Most likely guessing it will be easier. But I am quite confident in Kompany's progress with Munich. I think they can win if they are able to keep the team's condition improving. Although indeed the beginning of the season Kompany made me worried because the history at Burnly was very bad. It seems that Kompany can adjust to the condition of the players he has.
