I said earlier if WHU gonna have 3 attacks only all game that could worth 2-3 goals for them given our defence's form.

If we concede 2-3 here will be very hard to win vs a "defend deep" team.

Uh-oh....

Your "Cup Final" link is a bit bloody tenuous ;-)

Both teams are in poor form.

I'll count on a 2-1 for us on this one.

Any one remember the time City played West Ham at Maine Rd sometime in the 80? They brought a crew of about 500 who sat in the maine stand near the North Stand. After the game the police had them penned in a street behind the North Stand with horses at either end. One of the few times GMP did a decent job.

Doesn't matter about playing flashing football for this game...just make sure we get the 3 points!

Created most of our chances and good defensively. Not perfect because he should score more and his set pieces are poor, but one of the last players that should be criticised.

I'm with you on this ... at least this guy works his balls off for the team , players like yaya and nasri can fook off as far as I'm concerned they've shown no stomach for a fight and to roll their sleeves up and defend .....Navas is at least a trier ... His crosses are not always the best and at times he takes an extra touch when you just want him to whip the ball in first time ..... So you have to ask is anyone doing any coaching at City? At the very least surely someone might have said get the ball in earlier and put pace on it, sometimes he hits his crosses like a girl, I prefer the Kolarov method, whipped in hard and low most of the time .....

Honestly guys I'm fearful ... I think someone at the top should have made a big decision and given Pellegrini his marching orders, it'll be a disaster if we drop out of the top 4 given where we were a month ago...

What are we working on in training? Not corners, not defending set pieces, what then?
Why is Toure Vice Captain when doesn't give a sh*t and spends most of his time on the pitch moaning at ref decisions?

Big game. Win this and we might steady the ship. Cannot drop point here and give Pool/Southamtpon only a game disadvantage with us having a play Spurs and Southampton.

Uh-oh....

Also applies to our next match, against Willa.

I think we will draw and then pellergrini will have to go. We were abject second half against Utd. What's going to change with pellers in charge? Fat Sam would take a draw and they can set up for one easily. Draw no good to us though and you know on Sunday the crowd will be tense before kick off and first mistakes by players will mean everyone gets nervy.
