Apart from his goal I didn't notice him playing..let's be honest would you rather have Rico or Mainoo..I for one would definitely have Rico.

Of course I'd have Rico since he's coached by Pep, but once again I ask would Rico have progressed if Ten Hag was his manager ?

If City win all our games we will have done what we needed to do, and i'll be proud of them regardless.

That's City's job now, no relenting, win every game, with the points being so incredibly tight ONE slip up from Arsenal and Liverpool, which is not beyond the realms of improbability, even a draw at this stage, is enough.

So I get what GDB is saying. It's in our hands...that we win every game. We cannot afford to drop any more points. One more fuck up and it's over, regardless of what Liverpool and Arsenal do. To remain in the hunt, we MUST win every game from here on in.

I'm not so sure of that.

I think between now and until the end of the season, all 3 teams at the top will drop points. The champions will be the team that drops the least amount of points from now until the end IMO.

I also think the champions league fixtures will have a big say on the final league positions. If Arse get dumped out this round that will hand them a big advantage. And the same for us if we go out this round and they get through.

Obviously I want City to win every single game from now until the end of the season. But realistically, as we have seen throughout the season, we aren't at the peak levels of last year.

Possibly as he's an excellent player who can actually see where he is meant to play in whether he needs to be more defensive or more attacking.
Mainoo doesn't seem to have that in his locker yet.. defensively he loses his man and doesn't seem to be that arsed about tracking back.
He might turn out decent but as with any rag player they are inevitably the new Best,Giggs or Edwards...when in reality they are just overhyped and end up at Sunderland or whatever club is managed by an ex rag

Carrick will get the best out of Mainoo when he signs for Middlesbrough in the summer.

As I'm speaking about the league I stand by what I've said. If we win ours, we'll win the league.
Six out of Seven would probably still be enough. Maybe even Five, a draw and a loss.
Either way I don't see it being wrapped up for anyone before the last game of the season.

I had a bird like you once, always passing her opinions off as facts.
She was contrary just for the attention too.

Pffft!

Good grief. You are aware that you're on a forum, aren't you ?
My optimism, in this instance, obviously conflicts with others pessimism. I understand that. Maybe you should too.

I think you've missed the point of my post.

I wasn't saying what I thought was going to happen. But what needs to happen.

The fact is that it's far from out of our hands. In all probability points will be dropped. That's as factual as any assumption can be. However in the unlikely event that all three of us win our remaining games we'll finish third. What's in our hands are our games. I'll buy that it's out of hands when we're mathematically out of it. Not before.
