One of my all-time favourite chants v City at home about 4 seasons ago. Gallagher was spotted in the East Stand...."You're just a sh#t Chas'n'Dave"

It was reported yesterday that the record has gone now as they drew last night
Technically yes and technically no
The record is 11 wins from 11 competitive games
Difference being of course that Europe wasn't around then
Title decider.
They are capable of playing some sublime stuff but we are fortunate that Nolito and De Bruyne are out. They have plenty of quality that could still come in (Sane, Navas, Fernando etc).
Hope is that we can bring back our own big guns minus Kane.
Questions Poch must answer if all are fit; Dier or Wanyama to partner Dembele? Son to play up top instead of Janssen? Or which 3 play behind Janssen, Eriksen, Alli, Lamela, Son.
To be quite honest, Aguero, Silva, De Bruyne, Nolito, and now Sterling are fantastic players capable of ripping apart the best teams. We are going to need to be completely switched on and possibly need a bit of luck (like last season).Aguero is the biggest danger. But Sterling charging into the box is a big weapon for them too, would not surprise me if he cons a pen

But we too are a good team, should be a cracker.
I posted this in another thread, more relevant here though:
We have a lot of options, but I hope Poch goes for power. I think we can work them into the ground, win the ball from them in dangerous areas and be pretty direct when we get it (not just long passes, but players like Dembele, Son and Sissoko getting a good run at them).
I know a lot of people don't like it, but I'd pair Dier and Wanyama in this game. This allows Dembele to be used at number 10. I'd bring in the fresh players who didn't play v CSKA.

That is such a physically strong team with lots of athleticism and 3 players behind Janssen who can all dribble effectively.......With Alli, Eriksen, Lamela and GKN among the subs, we can introduce some guile and different attacking options if the game pans out that way.
Our record is 11 straight wins in LEAGUE games, so they could still well beat our 50+ year record
Sterling is a different player from last season........its black magic. Aguero up there with best in the world and together they have me hiding behind the sofa.....I would require medical sedation if I was at WHL.
I like watching City this season going forward they are on fire. I dont think we can stop them sadly. BUT their defence is a different matter.
they had Kolorov at CB and Zabeleta RB in defence yesterday - Zabeleta was finished at the top level a year or so ago and Kolorov is crap and always has been crap - different defence with Stones ( I know but compared to Kolorov) in so expect a tougher defence -
