[Heath Park]

Sorry about that post mate, sunshine and wine sometimes doesn’t agree with me, hopefully we get the win on Wednesday.

Cheers for the reply.
Enjoy the fireworks on TUESDAY ;-)

Cheers mate, I've now the chant stuck in my head which I'll be singing for the day...

Ederson and Ake...You done the rest!

Ruben Dias and Johnny Stones like this post

So, here it is - the big one.
Now City could make life difficult for ourselves on the last day of the season (see Villa, QPR etc) but the reality is the game on Tuesday is our PL season defining moment.
Come on City!

I think Akanji with Dias will be the centre backs. Looked solid after Nathan unfortunately went off injured

I haven't seen yesterday s game yet, as out so didn't follow closely. But ffs not again with Nathan- he's ace but very injury prone. Hopefully he is OK?

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Kyle for Manu to deal with Son's pace, then same as.

 

[hilts]

No but if they have nothing to play for their level will drop.

Or they play relaxed and attacking which can be dangerous. It can work both ways. It would be very spursy to put on a display when it doesn't matter.

I wish people would stop creating some aura of quality around Spurs.
As I see it, the standard of football outside the top three in the PL is poor. Arsenal will finish the season with maximum points, and City will do the same.
Have people learned nothing from the past three seasons??

In fairness spurs away is always tough for us just one of those strange things. Also if we beat every team we should we would be champions already.

Football can be annoyingly unpredictable. It would be very boring otherwise I suppose.

It looked to me like he got a kick rather than a strain? That was live, and I didn’t used to be called mr magoo for nothing

Let's face facts here... No-one has ever seen anything more predictable in the 2020s than a Manchester City title run-in.

Win, Win, Champions again.

For the love of god stop son running onto a long ball and scoring , just for once play a little deeper , we havent stopped him any other way we have tried so far

Totally agree for once I wish Pep would change our tactics slighty with the opposition in mind.

 

[blue for life]

We can’t really think too much about this game until we know the outcome of the United Arsenal game. That result will make everything clearer.

Is History repeating itself here, In 1968 we played Spurs away on the 4th May ,we had to win to have any chance of winning the League. We won 3 1, Bell 2 and Buzzer the following Saturday we went to Newcastle and won the league

 

[manimanc]

These fuckers really turn into prime Barcelona when they play us and that fucker Son into Messi and Pele all rolled into one. We need to be at our best

It'll be different this time as we won't be up against a Mourinho or Conte defensive block.
At least the current spurs boss likes to play offensive and attacking football. Don't forget he's been part of the CFG at one point so playing defensive isn't in is DNA.

I’ve said this so many times but I’m still baffled as to why City haven’t gone in for Son before now.

He’s an outstanding footballer, seems like an intelligent sensible guy and to my eyes anyway is a textbook Guardiola / City player.

What the hell is he still doing at Spurs..

 

[KS55]

Not the game I would have chosen as the title decider. Our record there is abysmal. We need to keep Son in check. I will be nervous as hell, just praying for a win. Not easy.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Kyle for Manu to deal with Son's pace, then same as.

Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol

Akanji will 100% start this game. He's been a man mountain for us this season.
