Any thoughts on this? Bluff or looking at their euro semi final and other winnable PL games

Doubt it is true , they need to have a go and anything is possible , we have dropped points to worse teams than them

I almost posted about this theory, it won’t change their approach but definitely affects their quality, it would be the smart move for them

Bullshit, they need 3 points as badly as us

I just think you need to make a calculated gamble here. Rodri looked like he was going to drop dead on the pitch vs Fulham. As arguably our most important player- we need him as fresh as possible for Madrid.

100% but in a double pivot wit Rodders.

Sub Rodders on 60m for Gundog if we are unsupassable.

Hmm they do but that’s all they need from 5 games - 3 points and will be safe. Don’t see 3 of the 5 below getting to 37 pts.

Slightly different quotes from Sky:

Nathan [Ake] trained with us yesterday which was good. Kevin [De Bruyne] didn't train with us yet but will train with us later today. Training is at 4pm but I think Nathan is good."

Started to move is what Pep said.
I guess a translation is: started to be fine in football terms.

Could make sense. They have a pile up of fixtures too and this is the perfect chance to give the ever presents a breather so they're ready for the run in and games they have a better chance of picking up points in.

If we weren't playing at home I'd be more reluctant but we'll still dominate the midfield with Bernie/Gundo/Phillips or whomever it may be.

Twin pivot with Rodders.

Sub Rodders orrf on 60m if we're unsurpassable.

Visa versa v BFS....time for Philips to do some heavy lifting !!

 

[MCFC Wirral]

Relegation is two from four for me and that doesn’t include West Ham.

 

[CatMan]

Philips nowhere near the team please.

But they likely only need those 3 to stay up, and they would be insane to target getting them against us.

 

[Trickyblues]

He's done at our club, he messed up post WC, Pep does not forgive unprofessionalism.

He forgave Foden and Grealish’s unprofessionalism last season…

When were we last Typical City in the league (especially the run in)?

Good question , we have dropped silly points this season so i have that it mind

Ah ok. I hadn’t seen the interview so didn’t know which was accurate! Cheers

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Just curious..

Last season's West Ham @ Home was the snow game right?

Get the points in the bag first, the attitude we "only" need 3 points is very dangerous.
