We had our lucky charm Jaffa last game and fulham coughed up a terrible pen but no point looking back. we have jaffa on again this one so are 100% sure to win. This game imo will be huge in defining the title race. Its a huge hurdle for us while city play fulham at the cottage the day before and should be 9-0 winners. We will need to win to not end up level on points but with a game played more (and way behind on GD) THis is make or break then.... It absolutely must be by hook or by crook be a win.
City will win the next 2... or should by all rights. then that is some block of games from the 9th april to 24th april. (2 weeks 5 games for city, we play less and get a couple more days rest. we shoudl also remember cheslea must focus on europa)
Proper exciting times, has potential to goto wire Or more likely be a damp squib and be over with three to go
I hope we get to the Utd game week where at worst city are 1 point up still... at worst. that's the last game imo where city might **** up.
Palace, utd and Burnley away could all be tough, but after today's suicide show from us all seven of ours look difficult.
and yet most should be simple if we turn up with our heads screwed firmly on. city have created the perception since they lost those 2 goals to Newcastle that first off they won't concede many and second tjey will get that goal or then get 6 after it. we need to play the same level from minute 1 until there a couple.goals up. then control it fair enough. had we got a second v Fulham in that first half the flood gates should've opened.
I think people are making too much about the Fulham game. We really expended loads of energy to shut Bayern down. The bulk of the team that played on Wednesday still had to play on Sunday. The most important thing is to ensure we smash Porto 1st leg as that will give us the time and space to play with more freedom in the league.
