This is actually true, the only one that comes close to getting in would be Bruno - they'd be relegation material if it wasn't for him last few years.

anyway, 3-0 City and a United sending off.

Bruno….I’ll forgive you as your not a City Blue!

I'd take a draw right now to be honest. Not said that in a very long time. It's primed for a boring as fuck game where we create next to nothing with 70% of the ball and they do us with a simple counter attack and possibly a set piece.

Please prove me wrong city.

A draw would be failure. We've got to be winning the winnable matches from here on in. CL qualification's in the balance. I thought Tottenham might get something at Stamford Bridge. And behind us Villa and Newcastle are breathing down our necks.
And this match is eminently winnable — the weakest, most uninspired, flakey United team for many a long year. Thirteenth in the table does not lie. You've got to go back Ferguson's team of 1989-90 to get such a low final ranking in the First Division table. (Surprisingly, they won the F.A. Cup that year — which saved Ferguson's bacon, in a manner of speaking).
No, we really should have more about us — we should be aiming at winning this.
(Newcastle have got Leicester this weekend: can they really lose that? And Chelsea have got Brentford, which I expect them to win by the odd goal).

I'm seeing lots of Nunes shouts but I remember what happened last time. He's a really weird guy that gets his confidence easily shaken. Khusa VS Ganarcho, their only out ball is needed. Have Nico and Bilva bully Bruno and that's all their creativity gone.

I think O'Reily's speed and ability to move into spaces will fuck them up really badly with their two man midfield and slow ass CB's.
 
really would like to go their place and fucking win.

Foden, KDB to step up hopefully and deliver. just keep them out at the back please.

they often struggled to score vs lower table sides we shouldnt gift them chances.
 
Strange how the derby has become diminished. Only 14 pages previewing the match.
 
Please, Pep Guardiola, start Jack Grealish. Play him in the middle. Let's see him have the kind of game and a run of form that will keep this gifted footballer at City next season and end the talk of him going to Spurs or Newcastle. Spurs? he might just sadly fade away amid the dross. Newcastle? he could inspire them to be to title contenders.

Agree about Newcastle - Grealish and Gordon could be a proper pair of wingers. Offered a straight swap against ours, I expect a few on here would go for it?

Don't agree that a result is that vital. I went through the remaining fixtures of the other contenders in the top 4 thread yesterday. They've all got significantly more difficult games on paper than us. Nearly all of them play at least 1 of the top 2/3 and also play each other meaning dropped points is inevitable.

We also have to factor in the fact were in a lower quality race this season, we don't need title winning form where we win every single game because that's not our level. we're getting comfortably below 2 points a game as an average, we've got 8 games left, win our very winnable 4 home games and beat southampton away and that alone is more than the current average ppg we've got and will almost certainly see us secure a CL place.

Purely in terms of the points and ignoring the derby aspect, it's not even close to a must win game and a draw would be a respectable point. Naturally I hope we twat them but we were stronger and they were weaker in the reverse fixture and we still fucked it up.
