Preview:

“Winning tomorrow is so, so important.”

 

[St.Pauli support]

Getting butterflies now, could we actually do this? 15 games to do the lot, if it’s just the league I’ll be buzzing god knows if we win anything else.

Game by game, then it could work.

Pep will find a special motivation for any single match.
Fulham - back to the top.
Cardiff - extend the lead (come on spurs..)
Brighton - get to the final.
Spurs CL - put our sky blue stamp on their new stadium.
Palace - remember Sunday April 2014: dippers vs Chelsea coming up later...

The rest is a simple countdown ;-)

But yes, the league alone would be immense. Not many did it.
FA Cup is somehow doable, CL would be a dream on top.

I won't be in later, but here's the presser link:

Ok - think we need to take it easy with him, especially if everyone is fit.

Agreed, Mendy's meniscus needs some time.

That said, maybe he won't come from the bench, as our 3 subs are normally reserved for our forward department,
the old daddies Sergio and David, KDB after his injury or a winger for late fresh legs.

Maybe Mendy will only play if he is really fit to stay on for 90+ minutes, to save a sub there.

I'm just picturing Bernardo being well excited about getting back into domestic football tomorrow. The could wheel him in on a 'Hannibal Lecter trolley!

City have only lost once since Jan 01st, in all comps. Consistently brilliant to watch, I still don't think we score enough but these are the good times guys make no mistake.
Fulham 0-3 City

If we are winning comfortably, could Pep bring on Stones & Mendy, switch to a back 3?

Apparently City are sending down a load of red and black scarves to commemorate Bernard Halford.

Was thinking of wearing my 2003/04 away to the pub tomorrow in honour of Bernard, will definitely have to do it now. Thankfully it still fits (just).

PEP "Everybody came back fit. @fernandinho @DeBruyneKev @VincentKompany yeah, everyone is ok."

PEP "After international break we come back good. We have done incredible amount of huge points. Incredible amount of points. We will play 11 games for sure and if we deserve, we could play 12, 14 or maybe 15. But we have to deserve it."

PEP "They try to play well in first games. Mitrovic in the box is so dangerous. Good quality players, Babel is so fast just come back from Holland. I don’t see the table to see how they have done or results but they have done very well."
