Clichy, Sagna, Fernando, Nolito, Navas all fresh and all were considered as some sort of regulars at different stages of the season, so will be interesting how much of a rotation will be used by Pep, but I'm expecting a lot.
 
Simple.

It's a must win, even though Burnley will be up for it after thumping Sunderland.

Another dropped 3 or 2 points and we're in trouble.

It's safe to say the title is slipping away. 10 points behind Chelsea.

We're now in a battle for 3 CL places with Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, and United.(can you believe that)

December was pretty much a disaster, as I feared it would be. Only the Arsenal 2nd half display and victory was the highlight. We even made hard work of Hull away before beating them. Yes, we should have beaten Chelsea, but once again poor finishing and defending let us down. Leicester was a disaster, end of. Again poor defending and producing nothing in attack at Liverpool. TBH both teams weren't great, and Liverpool scored the only goal that won the game.

The only bright spot is both Arsenal and Spurs still have to win today. And Spurs play Chelsea next week, so something has to give if we beat Burnley Tomorrow. And United are away at an improving West Ham. Think Liverpool are at Sunderlad. They should win that. Think Arsenal are at Bournemouth?
 
We should beat Burnley because we have quality players to come in from the bench.

-----------------Bravo
sagna--Stones--Otamendi--Clichy
-------------Fernando
----Navas---Silva--Fernandinho--Nolito
--------------Kelechi

And KDB for Silva 2nd half

I think we should also consider playing the young full backs from here on in and maybe Garcia because Zabaleta and Toure are not going to be at City next season.
 
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.
We were careless for their goal, but I could't fault our commitment. We looked like a team, and played a good game, but Liverpool knew we were suspect defensively and all thye had to do was hit us on the counter. All it took was one counter and we were broken. Toure is not good enough. Neither are the full backs. Stones had a good game, but where was he for their goal? Too many weak links in our team now. We have some very exciting young players and KDB, but the experienced players are too old. Guardiola has a re-building job to do

Aguero blunt. Both full backs off the pace and a central midfielder who can't compete under pressure. You can't win the big matches carrying 3-5 weak players. That's what we doing at the moment
 
Balls pumped into our box at every occasion. Willy needs to play in this game. The leagues smallest keeper got found out against Victimpool and was scared to catch the ball!!!!!

Yes, because Bravo was so poor at Turf Moor. Stop using him as a scapegoat. He probably played his best game for us at Burnley.

The young full backs have been loaned out so we are stuck with the current 4 past it lot.
