I remember a 2-2 at home to these roughly around the same time of year a couple of seasons ago. I would not be surprised if a repeat draw occurred. Does anybody know if finishing 6th still means you have to go into the Europa as I would rather us have nothing rather than that crap. Also if Utd or Spurs win the Europa league and don't make top 4 does the 4th place team go into Europa?
 
We will win this one. The title is gone and even top 4 is in doubt,dropping more pts at home won't happen tomorrow.

This place will go into meltdown if we don't beat a team that has got 1 point away from home all season
 
They have scored 2 goals away from home all season but you know we will make it a lot harder than it should be.

Any win will do right now.
 
Other than poor distribution, what did Bravo do wrong yesterday ? As for the team motivation, there is little he can do once they cross the white line, particularly, when most seem off it.
Isn't his super human distribution the reason we signed him?
 
Get Ian and Aguero in starting line-up and see how it goes, at least we might manage a shot with 2 upfront.

Play 2 upfront, get Kev behind them and Sterling on the right. After that, quite frankly, is all a much of a muchness and won't really make much difference. Play to our strengths

As far as I'm concerned we have 3 players who I would call goal scorers - Aguero, Ian and Nolito. We neee those 3 on the pitch
 
1 point away from home this bunch cue typical city
Hahaha,you actually couldn't make it up but we all know this could well happen..we will know more after the first 10-15 mins (a) we haven't conceded (b) players looking half arsed. Let's hope for (c) a high tempo from first min to last and ruthlessness in front of goal and a good convincing win..

I wouldn't. lost count of the number of short passes that have either been misplaced or put the recipient under pressure. Its largely irrelevant anyway how good his short game is if he cant hit a long pass. Opposing teams just close down the short ball, pick up the long one and are at us straight away.
 
Can't believe we play again tomorrow piss take.

Anyway this will be a tough game Burnley will sit back and it'll be hard to break them down. They'll play a few long balls up to the in form Gray who will cause problems. Wouldn't make to many changes it's not as if we got ran silly yesterday we basically walked for 90 mins.

Bravo

Sagna Otamendi Stones Clichy

Yaya Fernandinho

Sterling KDB Silva

Aguero

Like I said it'll be tough Burnley are hard to break down I'm going 2-0.

Come on City.

No I don't at all. I've seen very little of the sweeper keeper who's brilliant with his feet we all thought we were getting. Maybe he's just on poor form, in which case maybe willy should get a run. The amount of times we pass, pass, pass sideways and then end up with either bravo kicking it long to the giants Stirling, Aguero or Silva, or he hits a long low one to either the centre mid or centre back. I also can't remember him sweeping up balls over the top like Liverpool keeper did every time we thought we were through yesterday. I don't know how anyone can justify his signing except blind pep faith, which I had but its very hard to keep up atm
