Honestly, I thought Everton would give City a game because I said before and I keep saying that City are the most vulnerable team in the top 6 and they have a soft centre and IMO will struggle to qualify for the top four. It's had to see where the other teams will drop points though.
Did you think Everton were going to beat City?
I don't think Pep will make it to the end of next season and I'm not sure he'll carry on after that.
Other than PSG, who else is there to swan into and walk the league? Celtic?

I think they'll back him until he fails to be competitive again next season.They certainly won't sack him, it's whether he'll leave that's the question.

Hopefully they'll spunk a few hundred million on shite and be stuck with it after he's gone too.
Winning against City is no longer the goal. It's the expectation.
We are playing well but lets not get ahead of ourselves. This post is very Rawk like. We dont want to be like those guys. No offence intended.
I'd be very happy with a draw.
they are the exact same team we have beaten 3 times in a row. Let's go at them.
Apart from the fact the first 2 wins out of the 3 were against a team managed by someone else with different players
That doesn't mean they're better now though. There's no Joe Hart to have a once a season worldy against us
Bravo, Otamendi, Stones, Nolito, Sane, Gundogan. Think that covers it?How many players are different than the first two times?
Based on the starting line-up from last season at the Etihad against spurs there's not much difference in the team city put out last weekend against Everton, and if anything the line-up from last weekend is weaker than team we played last season.Bravo, Otamendi, Stones, Nolito, Sane, Gundogan.

We should be winning City away simply because of the state of their XI. They have a unreliable GK (who could be changed) and a makeshift CM. I mean Yaya Zabaletta in CM vs Wanyama Dembele.No match there.
Only X factor for them could be inclusion of Brazil no9 Gabriel Jesus who is tipped for stardom.
In any case XI v XI we should beat them. It's really down to can we stick to our game plan & execute them.
Yaya is still more than capable of pulling out a world class performance. If he decides to turn up he xould be unplayable, even for Dembele and Wanyama. A bit like Pogba a few weeks back who absolutely bossed those two.We should be winning City away simply because of the state of their XI.

I think you'll find we beat city at the etihad the weekend after they lost 3-1 at home to Leicester.Even if we win on Sunday I'd still put our title hopes as minimal. Once the European games kick in I'd expect our form to dip and that is where Chelsea (and Liverpool) will have an advantage over us. It's easy to get carried away when we're on a good run but it will eventually end just like our bad run in October/November did.
The problem is we ALWAYS lose games like the one on the weekend. ALWAYS. We never ever kick a big team when they're down, we instead crumble under the backlash and kickstart their season. If we could somehow win that one it would be huge, not only in terms of points, not only in terms of psychology, but also because City themselves would be 13 points off the pace (assuming Chelsea beat Hull at home) and Pep may then start to prioritise the Champions League and FA Cup instead, giving us an edge on them in the race for the top 4 spots.
