    Just wish they had a tougher league game than Watford at home next
    I know, was thinking that myself.

    They'll beat most teams at home anyway, but even if it was a Leicester or another Norwich, or someone that could hurt them on the break, it would be an interesting test after a long trip to Ukraine.
    If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

      Watford will still be benefiting the new(old) manager bounce, they had become rudderless under Gracia. They completely battered Arsenal in 2nd half of their last game. After failing to win any of the opening five games, they need to put points on the board so can't just write the game off like some teams have done against City.

      Who would have thought that an injury ravaged Norwich who play open football would have beaten City?

          I only watched first half against Arsenal, which is probably why I'm less hopeful. Coupled with the fact that Pep won't make the same mistake twice and rest any key players, I fear that Watford will suffer the backlash of last week's result and take a pretty hefty beating.

            Did you watch Watford against Arsenal the other night? I thought they were excellent and their performance belied their current league position.

            They pressed the **** out of the Arsenal back line so I genuinely think that another upset could be on the cards.

              Didnt we all think that Saturday with them playing Norwich who had 11 players out.

              Kompany gone and Laporte both out at same time is Karma

                They will put Fernandinho back at centrehalf in place of pone of Stones or Otamendi

                Seriously doubt he will persist with that partnership again

                  I thought one of the most interesting points made last night on MNF was that the more City were forced to cross the ball the less likely they were to win

                    i felt like they were rushing everything in that game.

                    they didn't create as many clear cut chances as normal.

                          Yes but last night on Monday Night Football they showed some quite good analysis that Norwich gave away the wide positions and flooded the middle of the pitch. Cutting off their intricate central play and basically making them cross

                          They then showed a graphic that evidenced that in games were they have made more crosses then they have a lower % chance of winning

                            Im sure many other clubs will be noting this and turn the screw on €ity, not so many easy games and more fatigue and injuries
                            removing all the weak links makes us stronger

                            too many gutless players, no beef or desire. pussies everywhere... sack them all.

                                Excellent...

                                Not that I wish harm on a player but which one player do you think would affect their team by their absence the most?

                                Sterling
                                Aguero
                                De Bryne
