Re: Will we win the Prem (continued)?
Yea hopefully Aguero starts he has been back in full training for 2 weeks now and I think if the Liverpool game was a week earlier he probably would have been on the bench last weekend. I think we are at our most complacent against weaker opposition when we think we can just turn up and get the points, not so much the early away games cause I think we were still trying to settle into a new style but more so away at Norwich.
I can't think of many big games this season where we have been complacent, they are usually the games we stand up to be counted, if what you said was true then we probably would have struggled at OT and got beat at Arsenal, but we came out of both games with 4 points. The only big game we have struggled is Chelsea at home but thats more down to important players not being available, I expect Vinny will be right up for it on Sunday and he will know what is at steak, the players do the maths as well as all of us, they know that if we win on Sunday were incredibly close to lifting the trophy.
Lancet Fluke said:If Aguero starts and we play as well as we can then I think we will be ok. Being honest though and I expect I'll get a load of grief for saying this, I think there is sometimes an air of complacency about us that there just isn't about Liverpool, I'd like to think that in such a big match that wouldn't be an issue though. They know that this is their big chance because they will do well to be challenging next season when they are in the CL, that adds pressure for them but it does also mean that they are busting their bollocks to get this title. They remind me a bit of us in the 11/12 run in tbh, they look relentless at times and like they are absolutely determined to do everything in their power to make it theirs.chris85mcfc said:Lancet Fluke said:I'm not saying we can't win, it is incredibly difficult to call and nobody knows how Liverpool will respond as the run in goes on. But apart from 20 minutes against Sunderland I think they have dealt with the pressure incredibly well so far and yes, they may have ground out a win against West Ham but I find it amazing that anyone thinks they aren't generally in an incredible vein of form at the moment and that it is going to be anything other than incredibly tough on Sunday. I'd happily take a draw at this moment, let's put it that way.
Mate I completely agree, id snap your hand off for a draw now and I'm expecting one hell of a tough game where ill largely spend most of it hid behind the sofa with my hand over my face, in fact I was doing that when we were 2-0 up at the swamp and only held my nerve when Yaya got the third.
They are in a very good run of form no one can deny that. But I suppose people will say 'well who have they played that can really test them?'. Our players have had the pressure of Bayern twice, Barca twice, League Cup final, playing United and Arsenal away in the space of 5 days then Southampton at home, were used to these big games and we've had plenty of them already, I expect us to turn up and put in a solid performance and grind out a result and show we deserve to win the league, like I said if Vinny Yaya Ferna and Dave turn up like they did in the Nou Camp we will be just fine.
