Was this the same bravery that forced us to watch Almunia in a Champions League final?

Surely pride should be enough of a driver. But, yeah, you are correct- Sp**s are cr@pSp**s are actually rubbish aren’t they?
No chance they get a win at Anfield. Villa beating Brighton this weekend secures 4th for them.
All is not lost because if Sp**s do drop points at Anfield they’ve got Newcastle and United breathing down their necks.
However both play each other at Anfield second to last game so y’kno, they’ll probably be fine but maybe a little incentive to beat City?

If City gets Musiala he will revitalize their attack. But there is the lingering 115 charges is lingering over them if that case ever gets to a decisionIndeed, we need to start strong like 22/23 season (50 points in 19 games or better) whilst the remaining 19 games we need to replicate 23/24 season or better (as we dropped points to Fulham at Craven Cottage/lost to Villa at emirates this 2nd half of the season).
Pep only lost 1 title race which is Mourinho 100 point record breaking Madrid team, other than Klopp lost 2 titles whilst on 90+ points and Conte won the title in Pep's first season in the prem with 93 points.
Need to be aiming 100 points next season as this is City's transitional season with key players leaving (Mahrez/Gundogan), integrating new players like Doku/Kovacic/Gvardiol and rotating between their academy like Oscar Bob/Rico Lewis whilst having key injuries to Grealish, Haaland, Stones and KDB missing many games.
City targeting the likes of Bruno Guimares/Musiala/Paqueta does make me nervous for next season, it's why our recruitment has to be excellent, simply level raisers and actual genuine Left back.
It comes down to Sp.rs doing us a giant favor; despite City’s record there why is it hard to believe City will drop anymore? They virtually never drop in these situations
Ange is too open they will cut them up is my feeling alsoIt doesn’t matter where Sp**s are in the table, or where their top 4 hopes are. Ange will force them to play hard and look to win against City.
Motivation won’t be the problem for Sp**s, quality is. Sp**s don’t have quality and know how when competing with equal and better teams, most of the time.
That is the issue against City, City will expose them and all their weaknesses.
Ange is trying to instill a fighting spirit in them. Time will tell if he gets that right.

Sp**s are definitely very open and shaky defensively. But on the other hand they somehow came out with a 2-2 draw at the Etihad playing like that and City's record against the big 6 this season has been terrible bar United so idk what to expect.
First simple thing they can do is start workng on their set piece defense, 4 goals in the last 2 matches ffs.It doesn’t matter where Sp**s are in the table, or where their top 4 hopes are. Ange will force them to play hard and look to win against City.

Really doubt it, i think Sp**s are cooked for this year.I still think Sp**s will have an outside shot at top 4 going into that City game.They will get beat by Liverpool this weekend but IMO Villa will at best get one point from their next two games which are Brighton (a), Liverpool (h). If Sp**s beat Burnley next weekend they could go into the City game 5 points behind with the chance to go 2 behind with one game to play.
