My heart is ruling. My head today so I see a City 2-0 win with Oreilly bagging a goal. CTID

0 - 4 win for the blue boys vicking hat trick and phil

Trying to analyse this game without over thinking it. I have concluded that, in a season of big games, it's... a big game. Win, and we're right where we need to be. Also, Auchentoshan is one of the best single malts I've tasted. Wonderfully smooth.

Yes and yes.
The Auchentoshan three wood is one of my favs

 

[ancoats]

The line-up is the key today and at both right and left full back, also Rodri may be rested

 

[MillisleBlue]

If we're 10 - 0 up with 5 minutes to go, I'll take a draw.

 

[johnny crossan]

Mukasa’s back with the u21s today so hopefully Cherki will be on the bench.

with Phillips?

 

[Xhavenjoe]

with Phillips?

Philipps wasn't on bench last match vs Burnley.

 

[BigJoe#1]

I can't see Stonesy playing 2 games in 4 days, so it'll probably be Nunes at RB,

Come on City, hopefully Foden shines at his favourite ground again, 3 pts today is a must.

Ouch.... that might hurt us.

 

[phargrave]

This game now gives us the chance to go just 3 points behind leaders Arsenal, please don't fuk it up blues!

Now you’ve done it…..

Oh really…..

 

[madloaf]

Now you’ve done it…..

I'll counter his curse by reminding everyone that we're on the same points as the rags..and if you're on the same points as them you should be automatically excluded from talking about the title

I think that this game, more than any other so far, will be a good benchmark of where we are.

The Utd/Napoli/Arsenal week's matches were all slightly unusual, for different reasons (derby/10 men/2-day rest disadvantage).

Here we are against a dangerous team, but one where we would usually feel that we have the edge, which will probably be representative of the majority of our PL games this season?

This will tell us more about Pep's mindset, and what he genuinely feels about our chances this year.

I think we'll sneak it

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

We get a result today and we can really kick on. The victims don’t look all that and Arsenal are Arsenal.

 

[Macca3]

Statement win today for the blue boys!

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

If we have any pretensions about winning the title or seriously being in a title race, this is the sort of game we need to win. No going in front and conceding late on that we do too often these days. That will not be good enough.

 

[Ric]

Cherki is in the squad.

 

[supercity88]

They'll look to get the ball forwards quickly and love their set pieces. The sort of game I can see Phil grabbing and steering us to a win.

3-1 City.
