Craig Burley

I mean, they were really good against Fulham yesterday, but the game was over in half an hour, wasn't it?

And I don't think Fulham's record is particularly good at the Etihad.

But I think they have more issues to solve, notwithstanding the points, within their squad, than Arsenal have.

And I think that'll be... Unless Arsenal get this... Unless they get so tense...

They drop another point or two and City, as I mentioned to you in the show, just keep chipping away and all of a sudden one or two players in the dressing room have a panic up and it starts to spread through, then that could be an issue.

But I don't think that will happen looking at the size of the squad and the experience of some of the players.

One of the interesting things is going to be for me, if there is still a three or four point gap by the time they play City at the Etihad,

One of the things he's been when he's played in some of the bigger games is really cautious.

you know, happy to soak up the pressure and maybe take a point.

I know a point would be good in that scenario, but if it's quite tight by the time it gets to the game in Manchester, is he going to go and try and put it to bed once and for all?

Or is he going to go there and be a little, you know, unsure and be worried, more worried about getting beat than winning the game?

I suppose if it's tight by the time it comes along, we'll find out, but it might not be, you know, by that time it could be quite a big gap.

Stop it.

Yeah, I think so.

It certainly wasn't one of the most swashbuckling games under Carrick.

There's been a couple of them, but they've had a home crowd behind them.

That's really pushed them on.

They've played some good stuff.

They were a little flat today and didn't quite look as sharp.

West Ham obviously fighting for their lives.
