We went to TTOD with expectations and came up short, another test to see how far we have come and where we are.They are far from invincible.

Would've been happy playing them about six weeks back.Less so now. They're on a pretty good run and conceded something ridiculous like three goals since mid November.And our away record there......if you thought Old Trafford was bad (and we've played well there last two visits and deserved far more than one point) Etihad record is off the scale! Think we've lost every single game since they moved in 2003 bar a win in 06/07 when Barton missed a penalty and they couldn't score any goals that season and also a random league cup win in 12/13. That's it so I don't even want to tot up the defeats.We also lost there in Maine Road final season and also in 95/96 when they made a Sheffield United type start to the season under Alan Ball.So after all that......I think we'll lose 3-1. We'll give them a game but unknown is what players aren't fully 100% yet due to covid and you need to be really alive over the 90 minutes to get a result off them so think that may just be beyond us.
