I keep hearing a lot about "form goes out of the window for a derby", "wounded animal", it's nonsense. If we don't win this game, we have shot ourselves in the foot. Currently they're playing worse then they were under Moyes. They were lucky to beat Southampton, Watford, and West Ham at home, got battered at home by PSG, without their two best players, and couldn't muster a shot on target against a Barcelona team in the first leg that were way under par. My worry is Pep might try and overthink this game, and play with a view to Burnley on Sunday.

They are not a wounded animal. They are just showing the form that reflects their squad. The new manager bubble has burst. They will try to play on the counter but press them the way Everton did and they will struggle to get the ball forwards.

Solksjaer isn't a master tactician, he is living off his name and using old stories to motivate. They are a much easier prospect with him in the hot seat than if they had Mourinho. He would have settled for a 0-0 and hoped for a chance or two from set pieces.

I fear another injury as that dirty prick Young will try and take out Sterling or Aguero early doors. Pep should have said something about Smalling pulling players in the box too in response to the gnome's tactical fouling shit.
 
The milky bar kid says he has a plan to stop city tonight.

I’m sure his disrespectful comments about pep will give our boys just the extra motivation that’s needed tonight.

Let’s totally destroy them blues.
Ride out the first 20 mins and go through the gears.

I’m going 1-4 cmon city

a draw will do us, it'll put us 1 point behind but I honestly think Liverpool's arses will go if they are leading going into the last two matches, in saying that we will play our games control possession and run out 3-1 winners.

You can't go into a game of this magnitude already willing to concede to a draw and plotting the what ifs.

Really? I have been watching City since the early 70's and Saturday was the best spurs team I have ever seen.

Doesn't matter how good the current team is they were rotten on Saturday.
Apart from the last 10 mins when we were getting edgy they only pressed us on the occasions I mentioned.
Spuds lack of enthusiasm was probably not helped by Poch barely being arsed getting out the dugout to encourage them on a bit.
Spoke to a few of their fans before the game and they were of the opinion that they wouldn't really be up for it.

I agree. I would be more wary of them if Mourinho was in charge.
 
Absolutely cacking it. It's perfectly setting up for United to cause an upset with the doom and gloom reporting of them over the past few days.

Hope the lads just get the job done tonight. Play at our best and we'll breeze past them, but make no mistake they're going to be up for it tonight.

A draw isn't enough for them at this stage, so this will hopefully open the game up and we can exploit. Sane has to start for me.

First 20 is more likely to be when we win it
 
To win the title, we need to win all our remaining games, no if's no buts, the dippers will not drop anymore points, rest assured of that.. I am shitting it, not because of the opposition, because of the magnitude of the game and what is at stake, I honestly believe that if we win tonight we will go on and win the title, the dippers also believe this.
Even with a bent referee we should still roll these rag clowns over, its in our hands and there is no better team on the planet right now. Forget a draw, its going to be a win..!

How can you forget QPR so quickly?

It will not be over tonight. It is very important but will mean nothing if we draw at Burnley or Liverpool draw at Newcastle.

I fail to see what the 7 year old game has in common with tonight or the rest of the season.Different circumstances,different opponents etc.
I expect City to win the remaining fixtures as I do from Liverpool.But for someone to comment that they will be happy with 1 point tonight is mind boggling.
Can you see the Scousers actually dropping points against Huddersfield,Newcastle or Wolves ??

I see it that Liverpool only have 1 game left and that game is Newcastle away. Huddersfield are a firm of no-hopers. If Liverpool don't score 6 I'd be surprised and Wolves have jacked it in since losing the semi-final

If we do not win today, forget winning the league
