Was wondering the same. Also, how come we have 9 days recovery before the Bayern match?

I haven't checked but I'd assume FA Cup weekend...

Confidence is very high atm with pepe and his lads.

Bunch of Opec paid *****.

They'd already embarrassed the Burton lads at 6-0 but decided to carry on and humiliate them.

Can only hope their confidence is so high that it leads to complacency next time they play a team closer to their level.

It's not uncommon for players to get 2 recovery days between games. We had 2 recovery days before Burnley, Bournemouth and Napoli, and those games were back to back! There is a big difference between 2 and 3 recovery days but not so much between 3 and 4. So whenever it's 2 you'll likely see quite a bit of rotation.

I know the gap we have between Palace and Leicester is due to it being FA Cup weekend and I assume it's the same reason for the gap before Bayern.

My sentiments exactly. And I stuck a comment up on Facebook saying so. It's amazing that non-Citeh fans also lashed back at me, saying they should have gone for 10, or 15. I don't think they got my point about it being vulgar showboating, the haves Vs the have nots, that the game was over by half time.

Let City worry about us,they wouldn't be so loud if they weren't concerned,couldn't give a flying f*ck about them ,its all down to the manager and players now and how much they want it !

Bayern UCL(H)- 19/02

Man Utd(A)- 24/02

Watford(H)- 27/02

Everton(A) 03/03


I only pray we could get 9/9 for the Epl and a solid victory in the 1st leg.

I'd take a draw against Bayern as long as we win the league games. It'll be a though ask but we'll have to make right the two previous f*ck ups by beating both United and Everton (and Watford of course). Especially the United game, it will be crucial, cause if we lose there and City win against Chelsea today, we'll be behind them without having the game in hand.

We have plenty of time to prepare, 9 days before the Bayern game. Virgil won't plau in that one so might as well send him skiing somewhere.

Are the players going somewhere warm again? If yes, not sure if it's a good idea, last time they went it seemed like it had more of a negative than a positive effect.

City seems to be peaking. Thrashing Chelsea 6-0 and all wtf. Almost seems like some kind of conspiracy. Both Chelsea and Arsenal do not belong in top 4. The Man U game is so critical now and I just hope our players are firing on all cylinders for that game. Away at Old trafford won't be an easy game.

And I refuse to look ahead to the other games... take one game at a time...

A few games have been moved around so they can be on TV. An extra day to recover for Everton and Fulham but one less for the 2nd leg against Bayern as Burnley has been moved from Saturday to Sunday.

INTERNATIONAL BREAK

I'm not even @rsed about the Bayern game, that United game could well decide the title. I know there's still a long way to go but if we went there and won (especially given the form they are in) I think the momentum that would give us could well propel us to the title. The whole club - fans, players, manager etc - would be buzzing with excitement.
City have just come through a tricky spell on paper, beating Arsenal, Everton and Chelsea within the space of 7 days takes a bit of doing, ours is coming up now.

Man City also have to go to Old Trafford, in mid-March. It's the most difficult game left for both teams. Both host Spurs too.

Looks like Lingard and Martial will miss our game. Great news for us as both are a threat with their pace.
I feel more confident now going to old twatford.

Manure are flying high but it has little to do with Soljksaer and more to do with Pogba who decided to turn up when he got Mourinho sacked. Looking at Ole last week in the PSG game and he hadn't a fecking clue what to do when 2 down  If we can stop Pogba then we will shut them down.

A loss to them would be unthinkable considering what is at stake. The players need to be prepared and take them on like men possessed because the Crowd will be on them from the get go and it will be hostile.
