Hoping for is to finally beat these guys they have destroyed us the past 2 times. Expecting a big performance from yaya on his birthday.

Two home games left as a truly disappointing season draws to a close.

We at times have performed extremely well but at others have been awful, whilst our near neighbours have played park the bus football and won at least one trophy.

We have no divine right to win things but I suspect the Club do not look at things that way and target trophies at the start of each season.

Pep has taken ages to adjust to the Premier League, unlike Conte who adapted quickly after a far worse start than we made.

I want to see in these last matches a glimpse of what we can expect next season, this is a must win match for me.

I don't know if I agree fully with you Gray. Conte had a better team to start with, all he needed to sort out was their appalling attitude and get them buying into the work ethic he has. That plus adding Kante gave them tremendous confidence. Pep on the other hand had a team that was showing serious signs of decline. The team was in need of a rebuild whoever came in. The positive for me is the showing of our youthful front three which has the potential to blow teams away. Jesus's injury and to a degree Gundogan's came at the wrong time. I thought the performance against barca at home, plus the four games just before Gabriel got injured showed us a glimpse into the future.

I am as disappointed as anyone that we have gone through this year without a trophy but in reality we needed major surgery and after a bright first ten games the same old cracks began to show. Pep will have learnt a great deal this year - which players he can trust and those who have a long future with us. He will also have seen that unlike some European leagues the PL is far more open and small margins make the difference. I would hate it if we played in a league where only two teams are capable of winning everything. That said, I fully expect us to run riot next year and within two seasons win the CL. I have seen glimpses! Agree though this is a must win game today. Fingers crossed.
 
Just watched the whole QPR vs Man City match again. Can't believe it's 5 years today since then. Was still at St Bede's Sixth form at the time. Just looking back at how far City have come. That being said, City have to thump Leicester today. They need to be taken down and notch or two. They are due a beating. Safe journey to all going today.

Guardiola has got some great players in his squad, but it is very weak in some positions: Keeper, full backs, central defence when Kompany injured.

Agree with all of that
 
i dislike these early kick-offs.
however, if, like last weekend, we can win it puts great pressure on the dippers, the arse and the rags.

if kompany, toure and silva all start then i am optimistic of a cracker.
c'mon city!
 
CITY XI: Caballero, Fernandinho, Kompany (c), Otamendi, Clichy, Yaya Toure, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Sane, Gabriel Jesus

SUBS: Gunn, Aguero, Nolito, Zabaleta, Fernando, Kolarov, Navas
 
Confident of a win. Thank fuck Vinny is in. Hope we totally wipe the floor with them and that cu*t Vardy has the smug grin wiped off his face
