Pre-Match Thoughts

What's the point of Chelsea dropping points last weekend and so did Liverpool and so did Spurs ... when we didn't take advantage of any of it in the derby ...

Forward a few days later and Chelsea drop points again earlier ... and Liverpool v Spurs tomorrow means one or both would drop points again ... but what do we do ... we go and drop two more at home to relegation candidates ... AT HOME ... to a team in the BOTTOM three of the table!

Oh well ...

If tonight's anything to go by ... Saints away is going to be a hard hard game ... last time there we lost as well back in July.

Still, c'mon City ... still nothing is lost ... still recoverable ... but get a string of wins on now ... starting this Saturday!

Oh the excitement, I can’t wait

Going to be fucking tough. They are going to turn over Arsenal tomorrow and be fucking riding a wave of confidence. We could be bang in trouble.

Not an ideal fixture after tonight. Think we’ll struggle there.

Were playing awfull so its a loss for me
Cant believe how poor we have gone.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Another draw

I honestly don't know what we have to do to make it work. Everyone is having a drop in form. We miss Silva massively. I hope he never left. :(

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Pep will probably set us up for the draw!

If we play like we did tonight then we could get turned over against these, but anything could happen with City, so probably win 5-0!

Think Mike Summerbee is in line for a start for this one. Will add some much needed pace to the midfield

I'd take a point. Realistically they are a rival for top four I think.
