Our next 5 games are against the so called lesser teams - West Brom, Sunderland, Palace, Bournemouth and Stoke. It would be so typical of us if we drop stupid points in those games, having won all the tough games since October.

To say they're having a 'really good season' is stretching it. They are on a decent run of late - 3 wins in 4 league games - but overall, it's just an average season.

We did that in 06/07 and twice in 05/06 (one of them was 10 wins in a row).

Of all the games I was forced to miss, it had to be this one. Followed the game on Twitter and Guardian's live blog earlier and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw us equalize and then score another two goals. Didn't think we would win this one - would have been happy with a point - because it's at City and our record there has been dreadful over the years. So to win there and did it in the manner we did was just brilliant. Have seen the highlights and all our 3 goals were great - Costa's finish was Drogba-esque (what a ball from Fabregas!) for the way he controlled the long pass (think the Lampard-Drogba combo) and used his strength to score emphatically. Willian's and Hazard's were great counter attacking goals, especially the former. Utterly clinical. The drama at the end was disgraceful and I'm curious to see how much the pundits, journalists etc are going to criticize City - mainly Aguero and Fernandinho - because you can absolutely certain that had Costa done that, there would be a national campaign right now calling for him to be banned for 10 games.

Apologies fellas. Something stupid happened today , hence the lateness. Everything sorted out now.

Watched the BT Sport post-match analysis earlier (god, they are awful!) and Redknapp couldn't have been more biased and bitter on his assessment of us. Shame they had on Zola on. Needed someone more outspoken to put Redknapp in his place!

It's the Metro for goodness sake.

Just 2 wins in 10 league games. 11 points off 1st place and 8 off the top 4. Oh Jose.
-
It's not just Cahill and Azpi. It's almost the entire team. Matic, Pedro, Costa, Kante etc.

06/07. Won 9 in a row back then.
-
But we can't cope with it. Every time we get pressed, even the slightest bit, the players turned into cumbersome figures. Not calm, not enough composure and the situation is sometimes made worse by our lack of passing accuracy - even simple 5-10 yards passes! - and average decision making.
-
Have picked up only 4 points (W1 D1) from our last 7 league visits to City. Will be happy to take a point next week but think we'll lose there again.

Apparently, Pochettino was unhappy with how Conte's staff was constantly moaning to the official about the decisions given to Spurs. That moment reminded me of Simeone.

Alonso has done alright so far but my god, he's tragically slow when you see him defend 1 v 1. City next week should be fun to watch.
