Man City played average football for most of the match and yet came away with all the three points against an unlucky Blackpool side. Tevez led the Man City attack with a couple of goals and then David Silva came off the bench to grab a fantastic third goal. The victory takes Man City to the second place on the table just two points behind Chelsea. Do you think they can stay there or may be even go on to win the title this year? Cheers! Ram

Man City is looking strong and lucky for now. But things will hot up after March. They are relatively new to their current status and the players might feel the pressure then.

Yes, but this year they seem to have the strongest bench strength. I think the real test is going to be in the mentality of the players!! Cheers! Ram

i think it make us aware now that manchester city, slow but sure is hard opponent for big fours in EPL united, chelsea, arsenal must give seriously attention to city... teves is more dangerous..he must be guarded when play with ball.. david silva is too...make a first goal...wow

to be fair, i dont think man city deserve the point, but as we can see, blackpool is punished for the lack of bite in its attack. yes , they create many chances but their finishing is seriously lacking. from the match i believed man city midfield is somewhat lacking of strength, maybe due to the fact they field in a reserve-team ? with likes of silva and toure out of the squad. i believe they can give chelsea a run for their title if man city is to keep up the good work they did up till now.

But I think that is the first sign that Man City is ready for the big league when it starts winning matches from which it deserves nothing. With the likes of Arsenal and Man U slipping up, it is a great chance for Man City to step up to the plate. Cheers! Ram
