Wow City really weren't good today. They looked devoid of ideas going forward, don't think I noticed Aguero apart from his yellow. Their defense was shaky as well. I'm hoping for a Kompany-Demichelis partnership against us. I know Kompany is a good cb but at times he's so so rash in his play.
Definitely shouldn't underestimate them but I think we can be confident playing them, especially without Yaya. Let's keep the run going!

Suddenly we've got a 5 point lead, and our goal difference is 9 goals better. Happy days!
Okay guys let's breath no need to get too excited, still a long way to go, we are sitting pretty yesss, sorry almost got carried away, okay so beat city at the bridge and then we are staring the beautiful trophy right in the eyes Okay. Gooners did good but from me and every other blue out there hope they lose their next game. :) Come on Chelsea.
Breath, breath. :)
Yeah I know, it's only January so early days yet. However, when we're on form and clicking, then we're a tough team to beat.
One worry for us is that our rotation players have to pick up some kind of decent form. Still competing in 4 competitions so we need everyone. Ramires especially could be a key player in the bigger games. His energy is crucial in certain games.
We have to make it our year, let's get some trophies! :)
PS: also maybe Varane or Pogba ;-)

I'm dumb founded why more teams don't play city this way. We did last year at the etihad and controlled the game. Stoke did it earlier in the year. It seems most teams play this way against us but not city for whatever reason.
Yaya Toure is at ACN.I've wrote about month ago this will happen when he is not around.
Let's hope Cote d'Ivoire go deep into the Africa Cup then :)
So happy about it, but we lost an 8 point lead. So 5 point lead needs to turn into more and more. I'll rest when were 12 points clear lol
We will play both Manchester and Liverpool teams on Stamford Bridge! Huge advantage! Man.City will have to play at Old Trafford, so if we win on 31.January we will have great opportunity to win PL.
Toure is obviously their main man. Our problem could be absence of Fabregas & Matic, hopefully it won't happen.
I believe Jose will set up to counter, a win would be nice for us, but a draw would suffice, whereas, they need the W.

I agree with Aron on how we set up. We don't need a win and they're getting to that point. I'd also argue we are at our best when teams allow us to counterattack with space.
