How many points will be needed to win the league? (74 GD)

[Beanhead]

There’s nothing wrong with being frustrated, pissed off, and annoyed about today’s defeat.

This was one of those games the vast majority of City fans, even those criticising the flappers, who thought City would win it quite easily, even though we all knew the fixture schedule. City don’t need to give the Rags any encouragement whatsoever.

I might be alone, but I wanted City to go into the game against Dortmund with a 17 point lead in the PL, if Spurs beat United, and all but have won the title.

Do I want City going into the CL semi-finals on the 27th of April having to rest players against Palace away after that? Do I want another Leeds scenario? No I don’t!

But you have to play the here and now. No point in thinking rest players when the league is actually done or for the Semi’s as we have a tough second leg in Germany to try and actually get there. To try and win every competition we are in requires serious rotation and the league is where we are afforded that luxury.. the others are all do or die.

My sadistic side says let the Rags win their games in hand , and we stumble for a couple of games to build their hopes up and then we beat Everton on the last day in the 93rd minute , it would be a beautiful thing , but i dont think my heart would take it.

And the fuckers come back and win ,when they're getting beat

You come out from the cupboard to flap again

It’s all about perspective tho isn’t it

There’s rotation, and there’s wholesale rotation.

Dias didn’t have to be rested, especially with La Porte missing.

Bar the sending off, which happens, Dias and Stones wouldn’t have had a hard day. Playing Dias and Stones, with Fern in-front, would have been enough to deal with the Leeds attack, when it came, which wasn’t often.

I can fully understand resting KDB and the other midfield players who have busted a gut over the last few weeks.

Dortmund have rested 2 players.

You sir can fuck right off, I wanted it won the same day we play league cup final, it was possible but I don’t think so now.
