Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I think the match at the Etihad will decide the title. If we can get a point there we got a chance. No question they will be outscoring us over the season, and their power in midfield mixed with their variety of styles of their attackers enhances the probability that at least one of them will make a difference every match. But City are not used to play in three campaigns. If they make it past Barca they will make it to the semis and they will inevitably rest players for the CL, which could be an advantage for their opponents. Yes they got an epic squad, but they got some outstanding performers. Toure, Kompany and Agüero are their main assets. leave two of those out and they are not exactly world-beaters anymore. Also their strikeforce is frightening but Dzeko or Negredo alone can be easily contained, whilst our strikeforce is so shit, it does not really matter who plays lol.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The fact that city have scored 99 goals already is incredible. They are leading everyone in europe on goals scored [barcelona(81), bayern(74), madrid(74)] I can't believe they are on course to break our 103 goals in the league, as they have 57 already in the league.They are targeting mourinho's madrid record of 160goals in all competitions and guardiola's barcelona 2010/2011 record of 190goals We might need to win them at the etihad, because I don't know where they will drop points again since they just basically outscore the opposition.

Remember a couple of years ago, this guy named Messi scored 73 goals during that season. Everyone said no one could stop that guy, but when Chelsea played against him he got squat. So I am going lay my bets on Jose & The Chels to do the same vs City, but first up is manure. This is the match that we need to take care of first. Get the 3 then we can talk about matches & the Eithad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is I only see us as the team capable from taking any points off them at the moment which is annoying. They need an injury crisis sooner or later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will take them down a peg. They have proved in the past they they are venerable on the road, but in the past month or so they have been getting it down on the road as well. Where is Mancini when we need him? kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Nasri is out for about 4 months. That will take them down a peg.

Where is Mancini when we need him?Nasri is only out for 2 months and I doubt his injury will affect City THAT badly if compared to Kompany, Toure, Aguero and/or Negredo getting injured.

Anfield it is for them in April whilst they play Everton at Goodison Park on the penultimate day of the season. As so often a win there could seal the Championship. but I bet they will lose at least 5 points in these matches. Not much but if we hold them at the Etihad and get three points out of Anfield for once I can't see why we can't go the distance. Our schedule is not quite as hard as theirs, which is what makes me most confident. But true it is not so easy for us to walk over the small teams as we got no consistent goal threats in our strikeforce. robdog and kellzfresh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at that newcastle match, no way they deserved to win that. But they always have 2 goals guaranteed, from their strikers in every match.I'm hoping the next fixture pile up takes its toll on them. And like you said their harder fixtures could prove a factor. But we may have to beat the at the etihad if every other team can't even take a point off them.
