Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 For some reason I predict a draw with them (that would 8 in a row for city), its the only thing that club can do at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray. 217 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 We need another win here. Hopefully we will crush them with 3-0 or more. I don't think I can stand a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernblue 2 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 It's important to get Wednesday out of our system quickly and a win at City would do the trick! The squad are confident according to Carvalho in this football blog so I reckon we can get a result. It will be tougher though after City's result against Arsenal, will give them a massive confidence boost.Think we can nick it though, 2-1 to us.

Ollie 4,400 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Really confident about this, their pitch and the way they play really suits us i feel. Last year our best performance was there after going 1-0 down, i see threats but i feel our threat is much greater. I would be surprised if we don't win this game, just seems a great match for us right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 The perfect opportunity to get Wednesnday's result out of the system. With his team selection on Wednesday you could see he was clearly prioritising this game, so the players have to respond tonight. The way City have been playing would make us favourites to win, but in front of their home crowd they're as good as anyone else in the division. The first goal is very important. If we get it, it'll truly knock the stuffing out of them. If they get it, then we're going to need to step up and put in a shift. Anelka will be key for us today; he's been sensational recently and its highly likely that he'll be granted more space than usual as the defence focus on Didier "Fifteen Goals Already This Season" Drogba. Whoever plays in the attacking midfield role at the tip of the diamond needs to step up their game as well; neither Joe Cole or Deco covered themselves in glory in midweek.
