Any chance TYPICAL CITY will return on sunday

my logic is no one's giving city a chance so there's a bit of pressure on them to win and go 11 points clear which could give us a chance

Yes, we'll be one up with five minutes to go and end up losing 2-1

If we were three up at Anfield with five minutes to go I'd still be nervous.

I know my positivity is probably getting on your nerves, but the bear has been poked my blue brothers and sisters. Or is it a lion? Either way, the fucker is seething and will be after the blood of that pathetic, skinny liverbird they have as their murderous, stealing logo. I cannot wait for Sunday.

 

[WestGorton]

The difference this time is they’ve actually got a solid midfield setup unlike they did under Klopp. And our midfield is a whole mess at present. We can aim for control but we can’t have any of it due to personnel/injuries.

I still think we can if we don't try to swamp the opposition penalty area. Spread it out.

 

[WestGorton]

That's the issue though. Our most experienced players haven't been fit. Hopefully enough of them will be

Agreed

 

[xgorton]

Will switch on at 4 ko time,sky can fack off with all the Liverpool love in.

Arsenal fans desperately willing us to win and do them a favour, because absolutely everything is about them

I admire/pity your positivity, good for you to stay chipper.

But I think the bear lion has been poked a fair few times lately and it didn't react, so Spurs took a shit on it and Feyenoord gave it a reach around.

But I really do hope you're right!

Of course they are, along with chelsea Brighton and Spurs fans.
6 points is catchable for arsenal.
A draw would be a good result for the top 6 teams

More importantly for us

Don't have much confidence going there with a full fit squad and on 10 match winning run!

We somehow stop making the silly mistakes defend well we have a chance because we still have quality players in our side..

I'd be nervous if we were three up against Stenhousemuir nowadays ha

Their closing down and work rate is going to cause problems given how sloppy we've been. Surely Pep closes things down for this one and stacks the middle, if that sees us defend a lot better then perhaps we'll see more of it.

He can't play that way unfortunately.

He can't play that way unfortunately.

Well, he could but chooses not to

 

[Really_here]

More importantly for us

A WIN is important for us

 

[paulchapo]

Not quite. His and the club's whole concept is playing the way we do. As a result the team would find it difficult to play a very different style. After getting battered a few times against Liverpool he did start to play a bit more cautiously and stemmed the tide.

Fair comment

 

[paulchapo]

Fair comment

Cheers. We all wish we could buckle down and grind out some results but it's Peps Achilles heel that he can't or won't. Tough as it is in fairness he wins more playing as he does.
