If we're going to win the League this year we need to start doing it on the road, starting with West Ham on Saturday.

Also sad to see the end of Upton Park (Boleyn Ground), always a good day out

Thoughts and discussions in here please........
 
Going to this one should be a good day.

I reckon confidence is getting back that 3rd goal reminded me so much of the first season under pellegrini with Zaba making those runs brilliant.

They lost to Newcastle yesterday and glad Carroll is out but I'm saying 1-2 city.

COME ON CITY!!
 
we need to take revenge for that lose at home!!! will be a hard game as they are a good team..we need to be very careful at Payet he seeems to be their main man
 
I think this will be a very tough game - one of our toughest remaining games actually in my book.

Would be a huge boost to come away with a win in this one, and it's exactly the type of game a win could spark the confidence to go on a really good run. We finally look like a more stable outfit, we haven't lost in the league since Arsenal now, conceding only two goals in the process in five games since then (3 clean sheets, finally!). There a signs of our attacking form creeping back in, particularly since Aguero has had a little run in the side now and is finding his way back on the score sheet.

It could go either way, but for once i'm not completely dreading an away game, but rather looking forward to it!
 
Going to this and can't wait. A weeks rest for the players hopefully get Fernandinho back fit. Will Pellers stay with 4-4-2 or go 4-5-1?

Hart

Sagna Otamendi Demichelis Clichy

Fernandinho Delph

Sterling Yaya Silva

Aguero

That's my line up and I'm going for a close 2-1 City win.
This, but surely we need Zabba in to add leadership?
 
Got a feeling diniho injury is a bad 1 with bring evans back from a loan he had just extended! I'd go for this game

I sincerely hope Dinho is back asap even though that would give Pellers a hell of selection headache. If he is fit, I'll go:

Haet
Zabaleta Otamendi Demichelis Clichy
Navas Fernandinho Delph Silva
Aguero Ihenacho*

*with KI giving way for the big fella at half time especially if we're at least one goal to the good
I'll also keep an eye on how much control we have on the game

If Dinho can't start (I hope the poster above me isn't spot on in this one), i'll go:

Hart
Zabaleta Otamendi Demichelis Clichy
Navas Yaya Toure Delph Silva
Aguero Ihenacho

Predicting a 2-0 win in our favour
 
Back to 4-5-1 for this one I hope.

..............Hart

Zaba..Sagna...Otamendi..Clichy

.........Delph Toure

Navas......Silva..........Sterling

.............Aguero

That's assuming Fernandinho still won't be fit. I don't think Demichelis can play 3 games in a week so would give him a rest for this one and also give KDB a bit of a rest before the cup games coming up.
 
Can't believe so many people are leaving Fernando out of there team for the game! Played last 3 and we've kept 3 clean sheets he's vital to our team he will payet quiet as he will play in that area payet loves to drift into!
 
Just a point off the top despite being so inconsistent. If we can put even a short winning run together, starting with West Ham, we should be surging ahead, because no one else is consistent.

Hart
Sanga, Otamendi, Demichelis, Clichy
Navas, Yaya, Delph, Sterling
Silva
Aguero

2-0 City.
