Nightmare set of Fixtures Before And After The Cup Final

[markbmcfc]

Does amuse me what's considered a 'nightmare' run of fixtures these days. Think i'll take it over what I grew up watching!

 

[DJBusinesscake]

Fuck me, lets just enjoy the win, all the doom and gloom about fixtures and De Bruyne, lets just be happy for a change :)

 

[HelloCity]

Playing Liverpool afterwards isn't a nightmare since they'll be in the final as well...

 

[City_Sean]

Bring. It. On.

Dynamo away on Wednesday.
Liverpool in the cup final on Sunday.
Liverpool away on Tuesday.

Very reminiscent of the 2011 final .. Stoke at ours after the trip to Wembley.. Pissed both games ;-)

 

[SWP's back]

Even if they do, you reckon any of the players will play/travel who will play at the Cup final?
...me neither

They win uefa cup they get CL. Klopp won't dick about.

Potentially upsetting both sets of scousers in the space of a month is a beautiful situation. If you want greatness you have to play all these fixtures and keep momentum going. Aguero looks unplayable at the moment I bet he fancies racking up some serious amounts of goals from now till the end of the season.

Unfortunately it's just when he's hitting form big time like now when he gets injured again...Fingers crossed he stays fit this time tho

Liverpool are at home a day later than City.
I think that evens things out reasonably.

I think Liverpool will go for the EL - it's only in England where it's disregarded.

 

[Goater=Legend]

We never win at Anfield anyway

 

[Marvin]

This is what we've been waiting for.

Sunderland should fancy their chances next week though. Sam will know how to maximise his chances seeing as they don't play

We might just be able to get a bandwagon rolling if confidence starts to take off. We need a bit of luck now. No more injuries

 

[Armaan]

I'd play a weakened side away to Kiev, we should have more than enough to beat them at home where it will matter. Try for a 1-0 or a 0-0 away from home and we should be good. I want to win that final more than I'd want to beat Kiev.

Does the fact that Liverpool play on the Thursday night give us a slight advantage for the final?.

 

[kaz7]

Worry about one game at a time

Marginally, yes, however, that is pretty insignificant when you take into account the greater advantage you have by being a better team than Liverpool

We will this time.

 

[Marvin]

Yes, but I think the manager needs to avoid burning Aguero out. He's on fire now, but it's so important we are careful with his game time. Maybe start with Iheanacho at Villa Pk?

I don't think it matters which games he plays, but I think it's important that he doesn't play every minute of every game.

 

[Barcon]

...me neither

You think they'll put out a reserve team at Wembley? They will go all out to win the Europa league.

Yes but our record overall vs Liverpool is poor. In theory we have an additional days rest so this should help.

Nightmare?

Its a dream 99.99% of managers, clubs and fans would snap our hands off to have.
