Citeh at home under Sven

[Kilteragh]

Citeh hadn't scored a goal from play at home since New Year's day before this season.

Now they have a 100% record at home 8/8. What does Sven bring to them to make this sort of a turnaround?

a big cock?

[FT9]

Or maybe some tactics and new players?

mmmmm Much as a big cock has its uses, I'm leaning towards the latter argument.

Elano, Petrov and Micah Richards + good club tactics and a dash of cash.

Money and tactics, that is why City may qualify for the CL.

Sven is excellent in the transfer market. Give him money and he will deliver without any doubt at all. That is why City will be a force for many years.

Shinawatra will back him all the way.

city wont qualify for the cl ,get real,

at whos expense? top 4 wont be broken, simple as that

As daft as it sounds, I've always thought that Sven was a good manager.

[tommyg]

Elano is class.

[Konstro]

City can only qualify if there is total disaster in Our or Chelsea camp and still if it happens i think that Blackburn or Portsmouth have bigger chance. Bar Mancs and Villa they were playing very poor teams at home: Derby, Sunderland, Newcastle,Reading, Birmingham and Middlesbrough and they were very fortunate to win at least 3 of them.

Out of 8 transfers Sven did 3 were excellent buys : Petrov, Elano, Corluka. Garrido is average, got found out at Chelsea. Bianchi is flop, Geovanni nothing special and jury is still out on Gelson or Bojinov. Didi`s come back made things much easier for Sven.

But it has to be said that Sven did alright so far.

They didn`t have injuries so far and don`t play in Europe. If at the end of december they are still in contention they can start to think about qualifying for UEFA.

IMO of course

He's always been a good manager.

His Lazio team was quality.

And despite what many would have you believe he did a pretty decent job with England too.....look at whats happened since he got the flick.

City will push for CL this year for sure. If they sign a quality striker in January, look out.

I'd be a little bit worried if we gave them Crouchie also, he would score quite a few goals in that team, and it could bite us in the ass later on down the track.

Sven also has very good connections all around the world so he will be able to get the best players if he want them and they are available.

Something that West Ham for example can't, even if they have the money.

Great club manager.

He has donr brill with them the big test is when they get injuries to a few of the key players and suspensions. It seem he will have more money in January so that bubble might not burst

Curbs is a useless manager and so overrated its a joke!!!!

They lack a quality striker though, but Elano, Johnson, Richards, Corluka and co are looking the business for them at the minute, especially at home.

Their score at Stamford Bridge showed they've got a long way to go yet though.
