I'm strangely relaxed about this one. Even if we lose we're still 5 clear and I can't see them bettering our form over the 6 points over the remaining 22 games. So by the same logic a draw is a good enough result.

If we win then the title is as good as done. Sky/BT will try to sell it like anything can still happen but for them to claw back 12 points over 22 games would need to see a spectacular collapse from us. With the ability in the squad, I just don't see that happening.

p.s. I know I said 6 and 12 but the added goal difference we have over them is as good as an extra point.

Not to mention they'd have to come to The Etihad and win again...
 
If the Derby goes ahead I will be pleasantly surprised. Just hope the weather is not too bad in South Wales on Wednesday as we really need three points while Swansea are playing such dire football.

Well Moaninho probably been thinking of a way to have dig at Pep! Well here it is what I want to know is how did the question come around about something nothing to do with football?!

A friend of mine sent me his combined United/City best eleven. I won’t ask you guys for opinions. I’m saving my reply until Sunday evening.

PEP: The big challenge is to play good and control their start point. Try to do our game. The focus is going there, relax and knowing if you don't win individual duels it will be impossible to beat them.

" individual duels" - meaning if Morinho does employ the high press then that leaves gaps depending on who wins those duels . We saw what Napoli tried to do this at home and to a certain extent it was successful but very hard to sustain over 90 mins.
Maybe pep is just making Mourinho aware that such a tactic is very risky when playing us. Putting a doubt in his mind maybe .
It's either that or park the bus and counter attack when in possession . Can't see any other tactic from
Maureen .
City aren't favourites to my knowledge and that suits us down to the ground. Many pundits think we are weak and small etc.but if we win most duels we will win the game. Get in front of the opponent and we will be fine.

They probably feel that they need a win so I expect them to go forward more than they did against the Spuds (for instance) but then God help us if they score first. Then you'll see the parking of the mega bus, along with a juggernaut thrown in for good measure.

Relax , if there's any scoring first to be done, it's going to be us!

He just wants to get under Peps skin and he knows he is passionate about it! He can’t talk football to get under his skin so he brings something up nothing to do with football.

I like the part where they have Sane on the right hand side so they can shoehorn in Martial,

Well he did cost more, no wait he is a young lad, must have came from the rank and file youths :)

Shocked they didn't squeeze the golden child in tbh, Aguero is past it after all.
