HUGE game-Napoli

[BringBackSwales]

villa, scum and geordies all had decent unbeaten records til they played us; Bobby has instilled a strong mentality in the squad, so a win is favourite for me, if not hopefully a high scoring draw

I said that if we beat United at the Swamp we'll win the league. If we beat Napoli and qualify from the group I think we could well do a domestic double and the semis of the CL (or wherever we run into Real Madrid or Barcelona). The mentality in the team is getting strong. Not told just from the wins, but the composure when things aren't quite going our way, we just look far more like we know we're going to win. If we do Napoli at their place and get out of the group we'll just keep going from strength to strength. We'll probably do Bayern in too. We won't do Bayern in however, if we need a win from it to progress. I think that's the time we'll just be a little too cautious eventually to our demise.

There isn't any shame in not getting out of this group, the second seeds are at the bottom of it which tells you all you need to know about it's unpredictability and strength. But the players will WANT to progress in this competition, they will want to play against your Messi's, your Ronaldos. It will drive them on to be better, even better than we are now.

Re: Napoli V Manchester City Pre-Match Thread

they are hardly pulling up trees this season. it will be tight but i do believe it will be 2/0

Can see us getting a result at Napoli.
Their game revolves around soaking up pressure and hitting teams on the counter with real pace from Lavezzi Hamsik and Cavani. They did this brilliantly against us.
Difference is on this occasion they need a win and will have to do the attacking themselves.
We are pretty solid at the back and, like them, thrive on the counter.
They defence has also started leaking goals in serie A after what had been a very good start.
I fancy us to win 2-0.
All we need to do then is batter Bayern!
