you would go to liverpool and play to defend a 0-0?
why?
You wouldn't, but at Arsenal and chelsea especially we were too tired, and crucially not good enough to hold on to the ball in midfield / up front so we ended up defending. We didn't plan to just defend the penalty box, but that's the way it ended up because we weren't good enough partly down to the opposition, partly down to our physical condition. (you might scoff, but check our rivals form in the midst of the European games - only chelsea have done well because they were out of the FA Cup and had a blank weekend. This has been accumulating for months for City)
Liverpool aren't as good as Chelsea and arsenal, but they will be a threat with suarez, Carroll and gerrard. Look what happened to utd at Liverpool. We need to be cautious
When we have won trophies and have established the team, we can afford your arrogance

someone who understands their football
Europa League has been a killer

Depends how spurs do as the Madrid games could put them off a little, but I think we're gonna need at least 8 points from these games if we're not gonna make it extremely hard for ourselves.
As long as we don't get any more injuries though I'm fairly confident we can pull it together for the rest of the season
well we've already picked up an injury for Richards and Toure and Zabeleta are unavailable. Looks like a lot of city players will play in midweek so lets hope milner stays fit, because he can cover any number of positions
