Tough game when down to the bare bones. It's absolutely must win though, since if we fail, there's huge pressure on the Anfield game, where we just don't win.

As I see Chelsea as our main threat now, 3 points on Tuesday night would be very handy as they’ve got a tough one the following evening. Hope we can pursuade Silva to nip back for a game... he can then have more time off if necessary against Burnley and Bristol. To be fair, if we could hand pick a game to follow today’s match, Watford at home (in their current form) would probably be it.

As I see it, they always were. Rags were eventually going to get found out
 
Need to get out of this slump. No wins in the last game.
 
Last time we drew a game we went on a 18 game winning streak, Maybe we'll go on a 17 game winning streak this time around

Its a must win game, Would be nice to see Stones and Delph back along with David Silva for this one. Watford are in free fall the last couple of months, An early goal could see them falter (hopefully).

Really must win this one as I cant see us getting anything at Anfield. It's always the one place I'm never confident of us getting anything.

Come On City.
 
Looking at the schedule ahead:

(2 Days)->Watford->(4 Days)->Burnley->(3 Days)->Bristol->(5 Days)->Liverpool

I think the priority is to play a full strength line up against Liverpool, and considering Pep will most likely heavily rotate against Watford because it's in 2 days he might do something like:

Watford (heavy rotation, game is too early)
Burnley (full strength, main team would have had more break and they are harder than Watford)
Bristol (mix rotation, good chance for silverware, Pep should play more starters because Liverpool is 5 days)
Liverpool (full strength, 5 days from Bristol is enough time for any starter to be fit)

This is my thought process, I don't know if it makes sense, but I think heavy rotation against Watford is the most logical given the upcoming fixtures, Diaz and Nmecha should start (because they may not play the Cup like last game).
 
Worst attack in football - 1 goal in 2 games.

Best defence - 0 goals in 3.

Statistics always true. Not.

Given how Palace played (better than most teams have against us - including top 6) this was a point any team should take and build on.

No need at all to panic, it may well win us the league a week earlier than if we had lost, that's the way to look at it.

I doubt they will start. Maybe the Fa cup game.

Sterling, Aguero and Sane will start against Watford and it would be a nice bonus to have Silva back

Your username is quite apt, lol.

No chance we will prioritise an FA cup game against Burnley over a Prem game against Watford, lmao.

That was his opinion as you have

I believe all will have equal priority and Pep will have to rotate accordingly to get the best results

I know it was his opinion, however it’s a load of bollocks, but cheers for your input. Much appreciated.
