Newcastle lose so palace are now all but safe. And will be confirmed shortly. Cardiff play next weekend so.... should be all but down. Burnely won as well so they will be safe. This is really getting down to we need to win all games and hope Utd take 2 points off city. That game is really the main hurdle for city. Spurs are at eithiad so isn't as big
I still think they are good enough and will likely win every game remaining, or we get a draw somewhere and they can afford to lose one then
As I said we need to win them all in my opinion. City have won several titles. There's no nerves and no slips coming. It's pure fatigue we need to be there to exploit
They are good enough to win every game in the league, in theory. However there was Palace and Newcastle, two clubs City are more than capable of beating and probably would 9 out of 10 times. Today I saw a City team showing nerves for the first time and if Brighton had bothered to defend from the KO then who knows what could have happened. I hope the press throw the word 'Quadruple' as much as possible in the next Month and a half, ramp up the pressure.
Pep has made it very clear to his players how much they each stand to make in sponsorship deals if they manage to retain the PL
If they get through this champions league patch with Palace away, Tottenham in the league and the utd away and are still top then they will win the league
Lord knows there has been no pressure on them all season Press have talked about Utd us. Utd us Utd Utd us spurs us Utd Utd us spurs
When you look at City’s draw in every cup; league, FA, CL they have had a really really easy path to the quadruple. I can’t think of one game which wasn’t a gimme. Subsequently, they have easily been able to utilise their squad. If they win everything, fair enough and well done and all that jazz but let’s not kid ourselves that they haven’t been bloody lucky with who they play.....
…..However, they have been lucky with some results. West Ham for an example. They have good players in every department though.
They did look nervous but I didn't want Man City to lose. Law of average say they won't fail to win often, we need it to be in the PL games.
Prem run ins now: City: 14/04 Crystal Palace (A) - Now safe and nothing to play for. 20/04 Tottenham (H) - At eithad, 3rd game in 9 days or something 24/04 Manchester United (A) - Utd already signalling they don't need anything form this game. (arsneal loss as well helps) 28/04 Burnley (A) - No virtually safe, will be safe if they beat cardiff) 04/05 Leicester (H) *- At eithad. nothing on the line 12/05 Brighton (A) - Easy meat but is away game and last hope but Brighton could also be safe unless cardiff beat them in the coming week or so. Liverpool: 14/04 Chelsea (H) - Chelsea play tonight. could be right bang into 3rd spot battle. Big big game. LFC at home and having 2 days extra rest 21/04 Cardiff (A) - Relegation desperation. 26/04 Huddersfield (H) - relegated nothing to play for 04/05 Newcastle (A) * - should be safe by this game but is st james 12/05 Wolves (H) - nothing at all to play for. * Date to be confirmed So for me its getting down to one single mistake time now. The pressure is coming off every City opponent and none will much care if they lose by the time they play. I can see utd fans cheering city on tbh at old trafford and booing thier players attacking seriously though... for me only the old trafford game gives me any hope. LFC must be "perfect" aka 5 wins by any means necessary.
City away to United. Is Ole Gunnar Solskjær professional manager to lie down for city. United fighting for Champion league place or not? The best Palace are going to get is a appoint. They are not going to do city double. Tottenham away to city???..don't know, but city have not drawn at home this season. I believe Tottenham are going to going to win one of their three games against city. Which one I do no know. City against Leicester. City are for revenge, because they lost away to Leicester. City against Brighton. Brighton lost narrowly to city in the FA cup on Saturday. Can be very interesting. Last game of the season. Liverpool at home to Chelsea. If Liverpool wins, I believe they are going to win the league. Chelsea have a good record at Anfield. Liverpool away to Cardiff, I believe Liverpool are going to win this one. Home to Huddersfield d. Liverpool win Liverpool away to Newcastle. Rafa being professional would like not to be seen helping Liverpool have to be at their best. Liverpool home to Wolves, I cannot see any other result other than a win.
Prior to Brighton game, city play 7 games in 22 days. Physically and mentally draining, regardless of how good the squad is
