We'd usually be going there to thrash them but I don't think we've got a thrashing in us. I'm not confident at all.

 

[malg]

Clean sheet. Please for love of fucking God keep a clean sheet.

 

[failsworthblueboy]

Any chance of any of the sick notes being available for this?

Not sure mate, I heard one of them broke a nail and is out for another 4 weeks.

You really don't have a clue, do you. We are by far the worst team in the EPL on current form.

You really need a proper power wank asap .
City is at 7 th place not rock the bottom ffs

Clean sheet. Please for love of fucking God keep a clean sheet.

What ? No more hard fought 1-1?

Clean sheet. Please for love of fucking God keep a clean sheet.

We need a win mate, even a 5-4 would do.

 

[Ajm1985]

Nervous as fuck, but going for a narrow win.
1-2.
Thankfully, United being utter shite is making this run less painful. I’ve wiped all memories of the derby.
Come on City.

Tbh I've not dipped into the schadenfreude because of the derby -we shouldn't have let that bag of shite beat us and every loss they suffer reaffirms it.

 

[ufo]

Same as most games recently. The more any of Walker, Gundogan, Bernardo and Lewis that start, the bigger our chances of losing the game.

So football god , tell me what you would’ve done differently ?

But for a quarter of the season (I.e right now) we are almost the worst. I can only see the return to form being gradual. Thought we did enough against Everton to win but didn’t and then faded so a win here would be marvellous but likely to be hard work

We gotta be beating this lot, our defence might be bad but this lot are diabolical

xG (and the resulting XPoints) is a really good underlying stat to determine how a team/player is performing. This is predominantly what bookies use to price markets initially).

There are outliers, but usually, the X stats are more accurate than things like possession, number of shots, passes etc in determining how well a team has played.

This is a good link to see the stats vs the reality of the table.

You enjoy it. I think it's utter garbage. Other opinions are available.

Exactly.
The only stat that matters is the fucking score.
Stick xg load of shite

 

[bennyboy]

Hopefully a win.My first away league game for years.

 

[denTTony]

3 ambulances together behind the stand, looks like the City defence has arrived

 

[Addemannen]

Do you think Rico will start?

 

[Stoned Rose]

So football god , tell me what you would’ve done differently ?

“Football god” :)

 

[Protein Junkie]

State the bleeding obvious but the result is everything today and don’t care how we achieve it.A 90th minute deflected winner via Kyle’s todger would suffice.
A good performance would be the cherry.

We can’t even beat Everton at home, we were lucky to scrape a draw.

 

[Longballutd]

Do you think Rico will start?

I bloody well hope not

I know........I didn't have the will to do it today.....
