Next: Arsenal (Home)

[IanWright]

I think it's going to be very difficult for us to get anything from the Etihad this Saturday. As Thierry Henry alluded to post-match tonight, we're à little shot for confidence. To concede late on against Everton and then lose to Napoli (thereby not winning our CL group in the process and inviting à tougher draw in the next round) doesn't do us any favours.

I'm hoping for a good Arsenal performance, but I can't see anything other than à home win. Hopefully, it isn't too demoralising going into our next game with Chelsea.

I'm really excited about this game, could be a cracker.

[Nickyboy]

Think it will be a classic match - two top teams that play good attractive football.

Looking forward to seeing Ozil in the flesh, but also looking forward to him getting shown up by Merlin

[Tony P]

Don't see how we can drop Milner for this one.

[twosips]

Not really sure I agree with the OP's assertion that they won't mind losing 1-0 as long as they're not stuffed. There's no way Arsenal will want to lose this as suddenly their air of invincibility will be shattered.

I didnt watch the Chumps League game, but how did Napoli do them?

Arse looked poor when Napoli decided to up their game and put them under some pressure

Always seems to be a great game recently. The best game for me in our title wiining season was the 1-0 home win against them.

Some great football played that game.

[branny]

The 4-2 for me. At that point it was the best football I'd seen from a City team. Brought tears of joy in fact. 4 goals against the gooners and the realisation that I might finally get to see them win something got me all emotional. "Look what it's done to me"

[Crossie]

Possibly our hardest game at home this season ... we'll win 3-0

hehehehehehe

And them lot have to come up from London :)

[AG7]

I seriously think we will stuff them like we did Rags and Spurs ... so somewhere in between 4-6 goals!

Really?? Hart back for this one?

wow. id be shocked if that happened. Neither Hart nor Panti have done anything to cause a change from how its been...

[Tesl]

I'll be really disappointed if Hart gets picked for this next game. I don't have anything against him and fully expect him to come back playing well before long, but this game is too important for him to screw it up again.

I'd rather have a 100% chance of our goal keeper playing 6/10 than a 90% chance of him playing 8/10 with a 10% chance of fking up completely.

Agree - there's no need to change things.

Pantilimon hasn't done anything to deserve to be dropped. I'd like us to continue with things how they are for the time being.

I do believe Hart can recapture his form, but taking him out of the limelight was the right thing to do. We don't need to bring him back just yet.

[Cit.revenge]

If we win this one we are there 3 pts of them they have game with Cheski i think and we with Liverpool after that.

I don't get why , Panti had good time not great but he have some fine saves and did not make any stupid mistakes.

Really? I seem to recall that not being the most entertaining and us needing a scrappy goal. My fave has to be the 4-2 adebayor game. What a game that was.
