Huge fixture advantage second half

[dasein]

Like your optimism. But, 10 games in Jan with our injury record and lack of rotation options for Sagna,Mangala,Otamendi,Kolarov and having only 4 players (Navas,KDB,Silva and Sterling) for 3 positions is already giving me shivers.

I'm just not too optimistic about tonight, foxes win I think, it'll be easy for them to beat us

If it was the other way round the doom mongers and naysayers would be bitching and moaning like they always do so it's good to see a thread with a positive outlook.

 

[Neville Kneville]

If we get our shit together, we do indeed have a big advantage imo. But the way we have played the majority of the first half of the season, we would lose a decent percentage of those home games as well as some of the 'easy' away ones.

It's time we started looking like City again. With Aguero & Silva coming back towards fitness & having spent half of the season doing nothing so far, we should be in great shape to push on in the 2nd half & play as we can do.

 

[burning blue soul]

I don't feel confident relying on home games! We have flopped on a regular basis against well prepared opposition whereas pellers does an impersonation of twitcher without even a usable plan A, Nevermind plan B or C!

This season is going down to the wire....I've now accepted it and with that acceptance can discontinue the diazipam course!!

We will most probably limp over the line at the end of the season rather than take control of it.

I think i'll keep hold of these tablets..just in case :)

Yeah, you're right, let's be positive, city can win tonight why not, as pellers would say 'we have better players',
I'm trying to keep an open mind, when the team do play well, we can beat any English team, and we are bound to get chances it's just about converting them and trying not to give too many chances to them with poor passing and halfhearted tackles (sorry it's like a default setting- I just can't help it!)

It could be like Southampton away game last season, when they were flying and we beat em 3-0 and sort of put them in their place. Cmon city tonight!

Why is there not a merseyside cheese? Is there?

There are a couple that might fit the bill.
Crocodile Tear is one and there is a cheese called Hooligan.
City obviously have all the blue cheeses plus there are cheeses called: The Manchester, Txiki and, a favourite of mine, The City Goat.

No reason we can't win tonight. Leicester have players who can worry us, but their defence has been getting away with murder & is even worse than ours.

This isn't meant as a pop at you, or an arrogant comment, but ofcourse their defence is worse than ours it's Leicester we are talking about, they are a bit like West Ham or crystal palace but a bit luckier as you say.

I believe now, we can win tonight! I've gone full circle

 

[ninjamonkey]

It's a help but It's not the advantage it would of been 2 seasons ago when people feared coming to the Etihad.

 

[Pam]

I think we will win. I never say this. Famous last words.

Of course. But it's not been down to 'luck' in the fact that workrate & attacking ability have played a large part & we have been struggling v both. But defensively, they should suit us.

 

[CrownPointBlue]

Bigga - that's not what I'm suggesting.

I'd love to win the Quadruple,Triple,Double,C1C,FAC,CL,but most of all I'd like to win multiple Prems on the bounce to create a legendary dynasty in our own league & country.

What sort of team would you pick for Norwich......do you think we will win all our games in Jan & if not which one would you concede ?

Bigga -

You there mate......still thinking ??

The fixture list has been kind this year. And with Chelsea folding it will be criminal if we don't win the title.

Already is criminal with the quality we have that we're sitting in fourth after 5 months

I don't get this - Stelling was insistent that we don't have any exceptional players on Soccer Saturday last week, and the muppets, sorry pundits appeared to agree. If anything we're over achieving!

This is something that bugs me too, you'll find the ones saying that we should walk this league because of the quality we have are the same idiots that will slag our players off for not being good enough and I'm not talking about pundits, I'm talking about our own.

Arsenal at home second to last too I believe, could be a big'un.

We don't do easy and I honestly think that whoever wins this game will be champions with one game to spare.

 

[Father Paul]

It's bound to be an advantage, if we were having to travel to Arsenal I'd say we'd struggle like we did, but at home I'm sure we can win all those fixtures mentioned, and if we put a run together, who knows?

Agree. If we can put in good performances in the next 2 games and get 4 points there is no reason that with a bit of luck we can go on and win it. However, no game is easy for us these days given our dodgy defending. To win the league you must be able to keep a reasonable number of clean sheets or concede at most one goal which seems beyond our lads at the moment. But hey lets hope for the best.

To win the league you have to have more points than any other team. And no one is running away yet, a win tonight and we are back in the mix
