I am going to start with a quote from their boards this week:
Does everyone realise the game on Saturday is not sold out against a massive club like Manchester city
There is not a lot more that can be added to all the comments after Wednesday night, we all know what it means. Lets just hope the weekend isnt ruined by 2.20pm on Saturday afternoon.
COME ON CITY !
My Favourite
I think they'll go all out to win the League. Saturday could be a big battle....
And the rest…
Out of the FA Cup and Champions League, all in a week. A good time to play them, yes or no?
Not to be underestimated of course
If we try and contain them they'll play between our lines and tear us a new one. We need to play high pressure stuff and be really positive.
I know we're at home but this is still one of those 'free hits' SB referred to at the start of the season, let's treat it like one and go for it.
They will REALLY be going all out for the 3 points on Saturday and we could end up being humped silly, when they're on form, they're easily one of the best club sides in Europe. We need to hit them early but even then, they're capable of knocking 4 in during the last 10 mins, it will be a real test for the entire duration of the game.
We might get something out of it, we mostly likely won't imo but I hope we at least try and make them work for everything.
Aguero going off injured might be a bit handy, not that they're short of replacements.
I don't think there's ever a good time to play man city they've got class beyond belief.
2 days to turn around and Aguero looks a big doubt for the weekend. Capt. Kompany said after the game that they gave there all against Barcelona and the tank is empty. Massive pressure on Man City now.
Does Pellegrini makes changes or go again with tired legs ? Lescott or Demechillis are both accidents waiting to happen. It will be tough for Hull City but no tougher than it was back in August when we did so well.
We shall be fresher and ready and I think a draw is well within our means. A win would not be as laughable as it would have been a few weeks ago when Man City were bagging goals for fun. <image006.gif>
IF Man City dont win against us and Chelsea win @ Aston Villa in the Live sky teatime game then Man City's 3 games in hand will mean alot less.
Who Dares Wins - Who has the passion to go for it from the off ?
The question is just what have Man City left in the tank and how many changes will Pellegrini make foir saturday ?
I hope that Demechillis starts though.
This is the key, if we can contain them for 60 minutes like the Sunderland game, then hit them in the last 30 minutes when they hopefully are tiring, then we might just sneak it. Though I agree with other posters we need to take the game to them, not sit back and defend deep.
If we put them in a container for sixty minutes, I'm bloody sure we'd win
