I'm glad the international break is here, for once. As well as we're playing I would not have liked going to Palace on the back of their victory at Stamford Bridge. Hopefully any momentum for them will be at a standstill by then.

I think it's more damaging for us. The start has been sensational and it's a shame to have a pause with virtually all the squad off around the world for internationals. It'll be interesting to see what happens if there's no injuries for palace as both De bruyne and otomendi will be ready to play. Great problem to have and if that's the case and all the players stay hungry it's palace that'll be worried.
 
We're not really here said:
I never said it would be easy mate. I just don't get why we are so concerned about opponents. We should be saying to ourselves we are streets better than every team so go out and beat them.

I can understand your viewpoint, and I still think we'd win, I just think it's slightly easier having a break between playing them and their win at the Bridge. We've seen it before, the momentum whipped up by the media, compact ground with riled up fans, etc. I think they'll be a bit more relaxed after a break.
 
We can really break the back of this season if we win these next two, and we really should.

Chelsea have a nasty trip up next to Everton and then face Arsenal at home.

United and Liverpool will also be facing each other.

It's truly perfect storm to afford us some breathing space.

I watched Arsenal cut Palace to ribbons in the first half hour the other week, and although West Ham are much improved on the counter, we have it within ourselves to win both of these games comfortably enough as long as the attitude and workrate remain spot on.

Pellegrini has already made a point of mentioning how we dropped points, to weaker teams last season, as we did at both West Ham and Palace.

We have to take our chances, simple as. We created enough to win ten games in those two defeats.

Time for us to start instilling a little fear in this league, something we have failed to do since our owner came in.

There has still always been this belief that all it takes is to work harder than City teams in recent years to get a result.
 
must remain calm, fighting urges to be giddy.....

seriously, if we lose both or win both, the fact remains that it'll be 6 games into the season. Chelsea had 32 pts from the opening 12 games and we still caught em up by New Year. steady as she goes.

4 points will do me :)
 
Palace are a better team away from home, as long as we don't leave ourselves wide open to the counter we should have more than enough.
 
Set up the same as Everton away for Palace very similar games both though tests , games against West Ham at home we have to be winning whatever form they're in
 
Want 6 wins from 6 and we will only need 71 points for the title from 32 games. Will allow us to win 23 draw 2 and loose 7. Very very doable.

Two 1-0 victories will do me.
 
This is a very intriguing matchup for sure. Are we expecting KDB to start? It feels like pele would learn toward leaving the XI untouched as that feels like the safe play but I'm relatively new to the game.

Also, how fun is it watching Bolasie play? I definitely appreciate his style.

C'mon mate you should know better than that.

I think we are due to drop points and a point away at Palace wouldn't be a disaster bearing in mind ours and Chelsea's start to the season. Don't get me wrong I'd love to smash Palace and West ham but just cannot see it, that isn't how football works.

My predictions -

Palace 1 - 1 City
City 3 - 0 West Ham
 
I watched Arse play palace and although the score line was close Arse battered them for most of the game. I expect us to dominate the game and if we take our chances we'll win.

Although WHU have beat Liverpool and Arse they played both at exactly the right time - I wouldn't expect Chavs to drop point at home against them and don't expect us to.
 
Palace will have to come out and attack which will suit us on the counter. Fancy sterling to score again against Palace. West Ham will try to hit us on the counter but I think that could be another Watford with us eventually opening them up. KDB to score on his debut v WH
 
Hopefully another top performance and 3 more very important points at a very tough place to go
 
Palace are doing seriously well as speed junkies but i reckon we are one of the few teams that has equal pace to burn between our CBs, sterling, Aguero and Navas. If we can handle the counter attacks Silva, fern and yaya will have a field day with the space afforded to them.
