No games are easy...We are the only team left in 4 competitions and will be hard to stay focused. Im confident we will WIN something but never take it for granted or it could bite you in the ass.

The most difficult game is the next one we're playing. Let's win that then move onto the next most difficult game and then the next etc.

arsenal, liverpool and everton away.

we play the rags away but that should be an easy win.

I also expect us to beat chelesa at home.

there should be no reason we don't beat everyone else and take the league.

I thought Saturday was pretty difficult and a lesson to all.

This thread topic is ridiculously arrogant and completely inaccurate.

The idea of dismissing games such as home to Chelsea, away to Spurs, away to United, not to mention several other tricky away fixtures as not difficult games is wrong and a bit embarassing attitude to have.

It is the type of thing I would expect from United fans when they were wearing 20 times t-shirts before they drew 4-4 with Everton in our title winning season. Would not expect it from City fans.

Some are more difficult than others.

Anfield and Goodison are the two I am looking at as our most problematic.

I think the last two games have shown we have work to do. The opos like to break on us Ferny has to come back in to add the bite and pace needed to get to the 3rd man runners. normal service at Spurs, sorry no Garcia, we need the bestt 11 out and that has to include the rested Ferny.

Spuds away, under the lights isnt going to be easy either. Unless its the likes of Norwich, West Ham etc at home then I will be on edge for the 90 minutes.

Discounting any of the remaining games,especially away games,is crass stupidity.Go into a game thinking a win is guaranteed is just nonsense and it isn't just a question of playing well either as Pellegrini found out big time in some of the early season away games.

It seemed to recur with Watford again for a while so a timely reminder to them all of the levels of application required.

The Spurs game this week is a massive challenge as they are playing very well.

This I know sounds mad for me Spurs is the game to make the statement after an amazing season so far,win here and I think we are going onto a great season. Nothing won in Jan blah blah, 3 points and all that , just a feeling this is a big week for us, move onto smashing egoman next week. Big game, tough game.

Spuds away isn't even easy to watch, let alone play in.

That shitty camera angle they have to use gives me vertigo.

I'm actually more confident we have the power and quality to win at places like Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal. I'm more worried about things like Hull and Palace away, especially if we beat Barca and have 'more important' games coming up.

Pellegrini played about with the team before the CL fixtures previously, as if playing away at a team he hadn't heard of would be easy. Hopefully he's learnt that lesson. Play the best team between now and May - they can rest in summer at the expense of their national sides for me.

We do have the power to win those and any games but we are bound to meet a quality side that place to their best and then we will see.It has to be one at a time.The trouble is losing to one of the other top 4 sides would hurt doubly.

I watched one of the spuds europa league fixtures earlier in the season and the camera angle was different. It was lower down and the picture seemed more zoomed in. Don't know what that was all about.
