Brendan Rodgers. Sean Dyche. Chris Hughton. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

I'm not feeling that confident at the mo to be honest. But who knows.
3 midfielders minimum in the next window. And probably another young CB to boot.

Anything else is negligent.

They're not Spurs, they can more than afford not getting CL football.

They still want to play in the CL if there's a chance to do so.

If they dont beat Everton tomorrow theyll all be on the beach for the City game.

Solskjaer won't want them not trying in his first Manchester derby as manager.

Wednesday's gonna be fun though.

When was the last time Man City fans, Man Utd fans, and Everton fans were supporting Man City and Liverpool fans were supporting Man Utd?

Which is?

I’ve no idea what they’re going to call themselves when they merge together. There may as well only be one club in manchester on Wednesday. Both clubs are an embarrassment to the league.

My thoughts after today are that they look rattled after Wednesday night. Would love to see an early United goal because I'm not sure they've got the reaction in them. On the flip side if they do win on Wednesday then I'd be very surprised if they drop any more points; reacting to that defeat in Europe with back to back wins against spurs and United would have the belief flowing again and I don't see them losing it again.

That being said, titles have been won and lost in mad ways and you just never know. We just have to keep winning and making it as difficult as we can for them. Huge pressure on them if we do the job tomorrow.

Don't think about the managers, think about the key players in the squad how can produce at any time

Leicester: Vardy, Maddison
Burnley: Woods
Utd: Pogba, Rashford
Brighton: Murray

The PL is the hardest league in the world and hopefully a time will stop City. Making sure they don't score in the 1st 15 mins will help.

Cant  believe I'm praying for a United win  or draw at  very worst.  Please let them drop points here it will be just the sight of blood that will have us go for the jugular. Even as the table stands now, we are 1 point  behind and well in the fight. Just win the games.

Hope you’re right mate but they get through the United game unscathed then it’s game over. Absolutely not a cat in hells chance they drop points to Leicester or Burnley.

1 point between us, 12 points to play for, we don't need any miracles here, we just need to win our  games and hope they maybe draw a game. Its possible it's 50:50. Believe. 

Oh yes, and we are going to Barcelona.

It's a fucker of a thing hope isn't it. I can genuinely see every team left taking something from them. Rodgers in particular. But it's so tight now.

Don't agree with any of it. Even if City beats United, they have 3 to play we have 3 to play. They still have to go and do the job in those games for this to be over. If at the end, we win all and they win all, then by all means, they'll deserve it. But the only way this could look remotely over to me is if we drop points tomorrow.

If you're banking a title win on. Dyche, Rodgers and Houghton then God help you

As the saying goes, all we can do is win all our games.

Win all our games and we’re European champions absolute minimum. Worst case scenario, we win the European Cup and finish 2nd in the league, a touch of 77/78 about it. Best case scenario we do the double.

7 games, 7 wins.

Because football doesn’t work like that.

It’s 1 point if we win tomorrow mate. Why throw the towel in or be pessimistic about matches that will be played in a few weeks. We just need to keep winning our matches and see where it gets us.

Realistic rather than pessimistic.

My opinion and hope I'm completely wrong, but if they beat United, they'll destroy the other 3

So if you met Klopp, you'd basically tell him to forget about the league as there is no chance City will drop any points anymore?

You have to look at the threats. Burnley and Brighton carry fuck all threat. They will not beat or draw with Man city.

Man Utd and Leicester have a chance but Leicester play them after a weeks break and at the Etihad. It will be a tough challenge and cannot see Man city doing anything but win.
