City.

Bowen is a great palyer. Carrying Liverpool to the PL title all by himself.

Yeah, but if City lose this game and the last game becomes a must win, they'll collapse mentally. I don't trust those lot one bit in do or die games.

true that's why City needs to win this match !

Now all of a sudden Madrid comeback doesn't seem that special. These guys can't defend for shit.

3 shots 2 goals

That said, their last game is home against Aston Villa, isn't that usually the most obvious 4 goal win you can think of?

Not when it is a must win. Ironically, the last times where City performed well in a must win setting in the league (2018/2019), a lot of that was due to their stalwarts from 2012-2013 such as Kompany

At every team he's gone to, Pep has progressively overseen a decline in leaders/individuals with strong heads.

Gerrard will park the bus and play a 10-0-0, he will do everything to take points from City.

You guys forget Liverpool have a game in hand and -4 right now.

If they smash Southampton 4-0, they just need 1 goal more than City vs Villa.

Doesn't even matter if City beat Villa. They can get a 3-0 win while Liverpol get 4-0 vs Wolves. Wolves just conceded 5 vs City a few days ago.

This is setting up a tasty finale next week.

Eto'o sign was a worrying one for Pep. Probably his biggest red sign in all his nearly 15 years of management. Eto'o was a proven world-class clutch winner and team player that he just cut because of his own ego. Not like with Zlatan or Yaya, or other players. Eto'o had behavioral problems, but when it was game time, he was one you like in your corner all the time.

Eto'o was basically the best-proven striker of his generation, arguably the best African player of all time, and a serial winner and mental beast, and Guardiola still cut him off because he had a big personality and didn't bow to him and his methods.

If City actually bottle this, then they will look back at the Liverpool-games with regret, what should have been 6 points turned into two draws because of poor finishing, better side in both games.

 

[Devils]

Ommmmmmmfffffggggggggg those nasty Scousers are actually gonna win a quadruple.

Zlatan I don't care about, he's not a winner at the highest level.

But Toure was definitely worth keeping. The man did a number on United as a CB in the 09 final...against an attack of CR7 and Rooney. He and Busquets should have been rotated, and we wouldn't get trolled by those counters by Chelsea in 11/12 (like Busquets did in his role as a DM).

 

[Rassvet]

The order of tiebreakers is apparently goal difference, then goals scored, then h2h points, then h2h away goals. If those are all tied, it goes to a one off playoff.

Liverpool and City have the exact same goals conceded at the moment so if that stays it would go to a playoff if they finish on the same goal difference as both h2h matches finished 2-2.

Still very unlikely to reach that point but not beyond the realms of possibility.
