I might just go out for a long walk. Come home about half six.

God ! If you feel that bad, you might as well take in a short pier ;-)

i want to see us press the shit out of them,that includes you sane,we have the fitness to do it for longer than them,frantic start then it will calm down a bit

go on then. tell me someone better. certainly not jesus.

Jesus IS the better option though, that's the point. We will be playing a high line against an all out pace attack with not particularly fast centre backs. So how do we limit the danger that poses for us? By pressing them high as soon as we lose the ball, so that they can't feed that pace accurately. Then we win the ball back quickly and keep them pinned back. So Jesus is essential to our entire system, our ability to sustain attacking pressure and retain the ball for longer.

They did Arsenal at their place and have the best defensive record in the PL, and DeGay-boys been in inspired form in goal.

Sorry mate, the 1960s want their pun back x

With Arsenal & Liverpool both dropping two points today. I would be more than happy with a boring 0-0 with no injuries or red cards.

Mate, we play to our potential it's there for the taking. Just hope the ref is fair and doesn' let them kick us off the park. We can do this...come on City!!

Knock us off our perch?? Hasn’t he seen a league table the stupid ****.

i shouted 5pts at the telly lol

I am amazed peg has not picked Fellaini (on the bench at least)

Spot on!... Though Understandably, I think Sergio may still be recovering mentally from his accident

I think so too, he needs to be given time. Luckily our other striker would get into every starting XI in the league.

We must win, it's not often you get a weekend where the top 5 all drop points. You have to grab the chance and I'm sure the players will

They're rolling out a proper counter-attacking team, ready to pounce on our mistakes. Kompany, Otamendi and Ederson have to be extremely composed for this.
