Dave Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Swansea have been f***ing crap in this group, Valencia away aside. They've been tired from the Europa league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Anzhi missing out on CL last season by 1 point, was their Leeds moment. If they'd got that extra point, none of this excudos would have happened. Anzhi shoe-in for relegation winless after 18 games, Tromso relegated, Sheriff from Moldovan league. It's a beauty of a group to be fair ! Ridiculously easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 AVB finally got Soldado running onto balls and facing the goal, more importantly in the 6 yard box and some width to the game and surprise, they actually look a little dangerous! Shock and Horror! shame we never had the players to do the same with Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yeah, I want all opposition players to have their legs blown off if possible, but in the absence of that, I don't mind seeing a good player getting unfair stick getting a few goals.

They treat these games as though they were literally 6 points, as opposed to the regular three you lose from dropping points away at Cardiff for example.

Being clear at the top irrespective of the result after having faced Citeh, Liverpool, Man Utd and Everton obviously won't count if they lose optics of it really, letting in a late goal to Everton (and generally being 2nd best in the game despite the draw) screwing up vs Napoli and thus have a far more difficult CL draw that if they'd just drawn with them and follow it up by losing to City (heavily maybe given Citys home form) just doesn't look great for them and kills the momentum they had previously not to mention it makes them look like the Arsenal of the last few years screwing this up (relatively speaking). Get any kind though and its a real lift for Arsenal and shows a bit of fight in them and that they won't be making the same screw ups as before.

I'd agree with City but not with Chelsea, too many weaknesses in the side to win the title imho. Strikers past it (Torres and Eto) or have no faith from the manager (Ba) shaky defense and a keeper whos more prone to screw ups than a side competing for the title should have. Fantastic options for the 3 behind the striker mind. Compare to City who are the complete package once they get over the ridiculous away form they've been having which makes absolutely no sense.

Deuce Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Just don't see City being quite the complete package. Pretty average away from home this season. Defense is a bit shaky as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've beaten Liverpool & Spurs at home but you'd expect that. Even we've got 4 points there, one against 10 men, one away from home. If they come away from the next two with 3 points, then I'll start looking at them as title contenders because City & Chelsea are the two teams to beat imo. If they don't win, how they react from a potential run of 4 without a win (Everton, Napoli, City, Chelsea), in an away derby then up here in 3 days will be interesting.
