If Kompany really is out injured, we will struggle defensively. Our first 3 games we have not performed particularly well despite results suggesting otherwise.

We need far too many chances to convert in to goals. Will be our undoing again this season, as it was last season.

We will probably dominate possession, Candle Waivers quick counters will cause us problems. If we are not careful we could be 2-0 down within the first 15 minutes. Hopefully (for once) we will be ready for their Charge of the Light brigade Football.

My Heart prays for a City win tomorrow. I really do despise the Candle waivers,

My Head says Candle Waivers are going to win this one, maybe 3-1 4-1.I think their quick front 3 are going to cause our defence lots of problems.

The good news is my predictions are usually Dog shit. When ever I think were going to get done, we usually put in a stormer.(crosses fingers).

I'm hoping for something less naive from us than to go out and do what we normally do against them, but very much fear the scenario you paint above.
We've started slow so far this season. They come out of the blocks trying to win a game in the first 20 minutes.
In comparison to us they've been fairly clinical with their chances.
We create chances for fun but our conversion rate is quite poor in comparison to our dominance.

I very much feel that we need to be more cynical in our approach in this game which is after all against a direct rival for position in the table.
First goal is crucial. We cannot let them score early.

this is how i feel as well
quite incredible when you consider that we, supposedly, have the best manager in world football

I'm not sure we'll even score even though their defence is supposedly suspect and I can't see us keeping a clean sheet.

The pessimist in me fears and dreads that we're going to get beaten 0-3 or even 0-4.

Aguero
Pep won't do anything like that but Stones and Otter make me shudder.

We better be prepared this time...no excuses.

Everytime? You mean twice.

They got their early goal at their place last season and killed the game, just stopped us playing by fair means or foul.

The game at our place, they only scored through a penalty they shouldn't have been awarded meanwhile we were denied two we should've got.
