Opposition Viewpoint – Manchester City

A bit about you:

Name: Rod Norburn

Current home town:  Stockport

Birthplace: Moss Side (facing the gates of Maine Road)

How long have you supported your team? 1968 that I can remember back too.

Overview of your club:

Favourite thing about your home ground: City Square – great place to meet friends watch live bands and chat with away fans in a friendly environment before the game

Favourite match played by your team & why: QPR when we won the premier league –  Agueeeeerrrro – you will never see a game like that again.

Favourite player of all time who played for your club:  Colin Bell – a fantastic person, player and role model for CIty

About our forthcoming match against you:

Your favourite current player in your squad and why?  Yaya Toure – big time player, scores big time goals and was the catalyst for the current success

Player in your squad we should most fear and why?  David Silva (AKA Merlin the Magician)- when he is on it, this team moves up a gear. 

Player in our squad you most fear and why? Mahrez – he has been a great find for Leicester, pace and goals from midfield will frighten the best.

Up and coming prospect in your squad? Ineaacho – great young prospect who knows where the net is. He will be a household name in next few years

How do you think you’ll do against us? It won't be easy but if we turn up, I predict us to win 3-1 . Sorry…

General Questions:

What do you think of the summer transfer activity both in and out of your club? Kevin De Bryne and Sterling were good buys. I would have liked to see Edin Dzeko remain.

Do you think you need any further additions in January? Think we need another striker as Sergio is struggling with injury and a centre half as Kompany is also injured again. 

Where do you think you’ll finish this season? I have to say Champions 

Which three teams do you think will get relegated from the Premiership ? Villa, Sunderland and Norwich

Any other comments? Well done to Leicester this year, if you keep all your players in January I believe qualifying for Europe will be a success. Can you win the title? Yes, keep the dream in your heart, just like we did.  Genuine good luck to you and enjoy the ride.
