On my knees in a Belfast Garden!

So, I miss watching another game this time due to work as I fly to Belfast to install a Garden lighting scheme and only have Forza on my phone to keep me informed of the dreadful events that were unfolding the other side of the Irish Sea! I couldn't believe it as notification after notification came in, what the hell was happening I asked?!

Since looking at the team sheet and some of the reports it wasn't hard to understand!

1. I repeat again I don't rate Fernandho as a city player and never have. Yes Fernandhinio is suspended but why not play Gundogan holding, play Silva and Kev in the middle and start either Sane or Sterling on the other wing instead, keeping us exciting in the middle.

2. With Zaba roaming it seems like a 3 at the back again like Chelsea, don't play this at the moment after the Chelsea 2nd half crumble and our suspensions/injuries play a normal back 4 and stay solid and safe.



For life is about momentum and our media won't give any team a minutes rest-bite least of all us. I continue to beat the drum that we are the best team in the league, it was only a few weeks ago we tore Barcelona apart in that second half! But poor timing, not taking our chances, and bad luck are putting pay to us getting on a role. Again I emphasise fine lines and narrow margins between success and failure for we tore Chelsea a new one for 60 minutes of that game last week but we didn't take our chances and now there manager is a God in the medias eyes and ours can't cope with the premiership! Piss off you narrow minded pundits we are still the best team in the league and to date have played the best football we just can't get momentum because of a few questionable team sheets, loads of missed opportunities, and as a result a lack of consistency. Pep's still the man for me though, we just need to focus, ride it out and catch a break.

Finally. my prediction at this point in the season is no league, top 3, but we win the champions league. For we can beat anyone on our day and string together a couple of performances in a row and that title can be ours, but I fear missed opportunities and a lack of consistency will prevent the league being ours this year. Watch this space!

Muddy Belfast flower bed, on my knees!
