All along I have said give Willy the nod. The stats below proved that Willy, the current League cup hero, is capable or better than our English GK..

It also says that Bony has been better that Iheanacho....... Joe is in the top 5 keepers in Europe

Those stats are bollocks, mate. Over 200 metrics used to calculate them, give us a break, I only need one source, my eyes, and Otamendi wouldn't be top.

And what the hell is a raw statistic?

Hahaha...just caught up with your other posts mate. Last night certainly felt like that there was some divine intervention...lets hope City keep their side of the bargain on Sunday.

The Burmese dark monks did for United last night, now its the nice Thai monks who will make sure we get the point on Sunday. They better, all this chanting is tiring. They can't guarantee that it won't be stressful, though, so enjoy the ride.
 
You can prove anything with stats if you're selective enough. Show me these 'stats' in a like for like comparison where Willy has played 30+ Prem games this year...oh wait, you can't...because he hasn't.

Willy a better keeper than Hart? You need your head testing...

As shite as we've played, and as many injuries as we've had, and for all the consternation surrounding the managerial transition, and for a few matches where we were jobbed by officials (especially Everton) . . . 4th (if we get it), an LC trophy and the semis of the CL is a somewhat remarkable haul when you think about it. "Not good enough" sure has come up in the world.

If we get 4th, the League Cup and CL sf then yes that's not such a bad outcome, but what has been so frustrating is watching a City team play way short of the level we can play at
 
Here's a way to relieve the pressure (a bit). Open an account with any of the online bookmakers offering a bonus for first time account holders. Then place a bet on Swansea and the red shite both to win on Sunday. Swansea are around 9/2 and Salford are about 4/11. For £100 you get £750 back, if you lose it means we are in the Champions League but pick the right bookmaker (Bet365) and you get a free £100 bet anyway. If the worst happens and we fail you have a wedge for your season ticket, a weekend away with your other half or enough dosh to pay for a couple of Europa Cup trips.
 
Surely we can't mess this up now! It's back in our hands and we have a week of rest so no excuses if we don't achieve Champions League with this squad. Pep can then get the players he wants for next season without the Europa League worry.
 
The game should be where the players go above and beyond to either show Pep they are worth looking at or other clubs they are worth buying. We need 100% effort and commitment. No Bony, no Yaya, no Kolorov.
 
I cant help but fear the worst against Swansea. The players don't seem to give a fuck, especially the ones who wont be here next season, so this game will probably not mean that much to them

I thought our performance on Sunday was decent and a repeat against Swansea should get a result. The players will be on a bonus to finish top four, plus Bony might be out to impress his next club!
 
Think the players will be well up for it. Looking forward to it and start planning for next season hopefully with 4th safely in the bag.

Don't think many thought it was over. It was always going to be tough for the rags last night. A lot of people ,including myself are livid that that match should have any bearing on our season. It's a disgrace.
We should have been watching that for the spectacle it was and not on the edge of our seat worrying. As I say,a disgrace.

Top post. @blueinsa seriously just doesn't get it.

Even though our fate CL fate is now back in our, how confident can we be that Pellegrini won't fuck it up like he did against Arsenal? Will he do what's necessary to see us through or will he see it as his final chance go out in a blaze of glory and finally prove his 442 with Bony up front and Yaya in a midfield 2 works?

He's ruined my confidence in this teams ability to get a vital win when we most need it.
