    im worried, we havent really played well at all this season against pretty poor teams and struggled to get results and break teams down, is it the sign of a good team playing poorly and getting results? or weve just had the run of the ball at the right time, hope are defence improves at times weve looked an accident waiting to happen defensively, we wil lfind out tommorow. we got to improve 500% on what ive seen so far, lets hope we step up to the plate and put on a good show, can see it being the usual team 4-5-1 with no striker , park the bus and hope cahil can sneak his customary goal, they dont look great defensively but i think with our negative formation it will suit them, would like to see vellios upfront with cahill in behind and lets bombard them with decent service to them, and get people running beyond them, drenthe etc, i want barkley playing ahead of coleman, we need his qaulity on the ball,colemans service is poor, baines and barkley banging quality balls into vellios and cahill should unsettle them, but all i can see is osman and cahill struggling , and us being under the cosh, hope im wrong and we play like w ehave done in the past vs citeh.

    I find we quite often tend to play to the level of our opposition...

    It is not, and never has been our problem trying to break down teams who are actually trying to play us....see the 19 points we got against the top 6 last season

    Thinik you're slightly hard on our defense aswell coz we haven't given teams many chances at all.

    I agree we & many other teams often play to the level of lesser teams...........so we might be Lucky tomorrow (Only Joking).

    Man City's Team & Subs will be about £300M tomorrow ........... and ours total about £30!!!!!

    But 'Spirit' counts for a Lot.

    On 'match of the day' they ought to start the commentary by saying how much each team cost?

    £30 Million?
    Get off the stage!
    Baines is worth nearly that on his own!
