Once City get the first they will get 5 or 6

That big throw from Guzan seems our main attacking outlet today.

[Monty]

We're looking every inch a long ball side today.

[PaulWinch again]

They're getting on top now, the midfield needs to get some control.

[Malandro]

the difference between these two teams is massive unfortunately

I think today is a slightly exceptional circumstance.

Guzan's distribution lately has been really poor, he keeps putting the ball out.

Writing is on the wall i feel, city are in control.

Almost every game has been a slightly exceptional circumstance. Watch Southampton or Swansea against the big sides - they can still keep the ball.

lump your house on a city win

We have 3 huge forwards, it was always his game plan to knock it long....and it's in my opinion

Couldn't agree more monty, we give teams far too much space and respect.

What makes you think they will break down our defence?

[Rigadon]

Anybody on here see anything other than a City win today?  We aren't in the game as an attacking force at all.

[PaulWinch again]

The midfield needs to do a lot more than just try to tackle, this isn't good enough. We're at home, we need to attack.
