Man City (A) Build Up

Well yeah, hope none of our players give away any free kicks. Goes without saying.

[Cormack74]

No score would surprise me TBH other than a nil all. Reckon anything could happen.

[Mostar]

Whatever happens, we've done ****ing well to get to this place.

Before Spurs game I was content with getting 6 points in our last 4 of this season and we achieved that.

Any point vs City and Chavs is just a huge plus.

[baitman]

hoping Skrtel doesn't give any free kicks away

more likely to be penalties
his holding against cardiff was highlighted after the game so the ref's will be alerted to it.

[S-RED]

its going to be who concedes the least, i can see goals, goals, goals,

Colemanball right there!

[baitman]

if we finish with 11 men on the pitch [skrtel] then its ours to lose

[breffniboy]

Four points from our next two away games is the dream scenario. Chelsea look more beatable than City right now so I would happily take a point this minute if offered it.

Neither side looks too clever at the back, us especially at set plays. Even Cardiff had their moments against us although you can see from Skrtl's(?) reaction to conceding that the players are very conscious of the lingering problems at the back. Hopefully the big occasion will concentrate minds and take care of that to an extent and allow our attack to outscore them.

But give me a draw right now and I'd take it happily.

The worst thing about this game is we could possibly win or equally we could get hammered!! Let's just enjoy it.

I think Aguero being out for them removes the "getting hammered" possibility for us.

I don't know, I hope your right.

Agree

Going to be proper nervously excited about this one

if we finish with 11 men on the pitch [skrtel] then its ours to lose

Presumably if it finishes the outcome has already been decided?

pedant

ok, hows about this then...
its ours to lose, so long as we finish with 11 men on the pitch [skrtel]

[Gibbo]

Were gonna ****in do em

[Fosterbloke]

I think Zabaleta being out for them is an greater blow than Aguero.

He's an absolutely crucial player for them whereas Aguero's absence is somewhat made up by Negredo and Dzeko stepping up.
