Man United and, particularly Tottenham away, will provide the hardest tests I think, but who knows.
RE putting all the eggs in the European basket. I'm not sure. Half of me says he'll keep fielding a strong side to prevent any slowing of the momentum of a winning team..... Half thinks he may rest some top players when the League is wrapped up. He may even rest a few key players (or dlsend a few on for not a full match against Basel as 4 up is almost a given to have gone through already.

I can see us beating Utd, despite José bringing the biggest and longest bus he can find. Spurs will be a tough ask though especially if they’ve learnt from their last hiding from us..

I guess the answer is he will make some changes for the easier ties! Be interesting to see if he makes big changes for the PL once it's wrapped up to potentially help freshness for the CL.
It's brilliant that Man City have that luxury, I believe it will help them in the cup competitions as he will play the reserves like Yaya and the younger players in order to keep the main first teamers relatively fresh.thing which stood out for me was that the game bypasses yaya largely when the opposition have the ball, and when we have it he slows the game down and allows them to organise.
make no mistake, a city legend and the guy who took us to silverware. completely spent as a footballing force now sadly.

Really becoming a formality now.
So....possibility to win at United, possibility for most goals scored in a season, biggest goal difference in a season, most wins in a season and highest points tally in a season......

We're really in dreamland - some of the football last night was sublime.
I thought Sterling made a big difference - he's got so much more attacking threat then B Silva and carves open big spaces for Kyle Walker. When we get Mendy back we'll be able to do the same on the left too.
