Swansea (H) - Pre Match Thread

[John Oliver]

Maybe difficult to get the mental attitudes right for this one,hope we can win it.

 

[Lonsdale Blue]

I agree that we should go all out to beat 100 points. We need to break as many records as we can.

 

[K.Reeves right foot]

Can’t believe some people are not bothered about breaking the records. Breaking 100 points is what will make this City side immortal in English football. They’d be remembered as “The Centurions” for all eternity. Why you wouldn’t want that is beyond me. Even City won’t ever beat 102 points, imo.

Absolutely, I doubt 100 points will ever be got again certainly not any time soon. It'll be an extraordinary achievement befitting this wonderful group of players. We haven't really had a team that's talked about like the Liverpool 80s side, the Arsenal invincibles or those foul rats from their jammy trebble season. Smashing 100 points will give us that kudos. I think the players and Pep want it too.

 

[waterfootblues]

Yes let's go for it. Smash it with 102 points and 104 goals. Centurions and forever remembered. The greatest Premier league team ever. Pep deserves it, the players deserve it and we fans deserve it.

I genuinely think we'll target 100 points again next season.

If we get two or three WC players it's possible.

 

[Dreadzone]

This.

i hope you are correct but do think 1-2 will have more than an eye on the World cup

with Pep as manager, no chance, but we will see and i hope and believe you are wrong.

I'm not sure about that. The players are well motivated and will want to raise the points bar as high as possible

 

[cibaman]

He’ll expect 100% from his players. But I do think he will try to make sure that any players who are unsure of a World Cup place are given opportunities to play their way into their national team

PEP: i'm proud to be part of this organisation. A huge organisation. Being part of this family, it’s huge. (The PL) e is so complicated to achieve it because the competition is so hard. The best way is to win against Swansea. That’s the best way to maintain the level.

PEP: The moment when we were champions everyone was at home and we were not together. But over the nine months, every game we have won we have celebrated together. The feeling is...wow, a good feeling.

 

[kaz7]

PEP: In the past when I won the league early, the next few games were not good. But a good argument to keep going is the records. The important thing is to win the title but maybe the records can help us be focused against the teams fighting to avoid relegation.

 

[kaz7]

Pep on his team selection for the last games: "We're going to try to play with the best team possible."

That's why he's the coach and not one of those saying we should play mainly kids.

I don't think anyone wants him to play mainly kids.

 

[K.Reeves right foot]

I guess we will, in that we will want to win every game like other teams with title aspirations but achieving it - until this season if we do it - has never been done before. Plus retaining a title is always a problem especially for us although I'd expect us to do it if we strengthen. Add to that I'm sure the CL will be a huge priority for us next season. Will sure be another bumper season we have in store, can't wait for it already!

i dont think anyone has said that on here. most want us to play a strong team, with say foden in the team. hardly a weak team... even a second string team for us is a first team for most clubs.

.....................Ederson......................
Walker.....Stones..........Laporte.....Mendy
..........................Gündogan.....................
...............De Bruyne........Foden................
Sterling.................Jesus................Sané

lets say he plays this team. its more then good enough.

I don't think that will far from it, except maybe Otamendi instead of Stones as I think he is unfit, still very strong and I don't think we will be seeing much of Silva or Kompany for the last few matches

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

Would love to see a 3 at the back

Ederson

Kompany stones Laporte

Walker Ilkay De Bruyne Mendy
Foden

Sterling Jesus

Foden in his natural position

Sterling central where he is unplayable

Mendy back

Stones to get his confidence back
