He beat Palace twice too this season. Definitely starting him now.
How many would we need against Palace to make the job against Newcastle realistic? At least 5?
What you're trying to day is "If Sturridge isn't fit then he shouldn't start against Palace".
If he is fit - then he starts because regardless if his form pre-injury it's still infinitely better than Moses.
Or Moyes for that matter 🙂
Well we need a minimum of 11 goals in 2 games.
So 6 would be the basic minimum, I'd have thought.
We have to make up the 8 goals we are behind them, and then whatever margins they pick up against Everton, Villa and West Ham - that will be somwhere between 3 to 9 goals, depending on your level of optimism / pessimism; 6 wouldn't be too far off I think.
So, say, 14 goals for us to make up. We can run up the score against Newcastle at home, but Pulis' Palace is a different story. If we score 4, we'll need to score 10 against Newcastle - and I think, be the first team in the Premier League to score 10 on an opponent. And we'll still need to make sure we keep clean sheets.
There's more chance of Everton, Villa or West Ham nicking a point from City. I still believe that one of them has a surprise in store for City.
According to Maureen the Chavs have no chance of winning the title, and Pelligrini says they are not favourites.
Does that mean we can still win it? Let's snot Palace and see what happens.

Pellegrini says it's in their own hands now (again):

The controller has changed hands a couple of times now. It was City's, then ours, and now it's back to them. Hopefully there's one more change yet to come in our favour. We have to beat Palace regardless of the Everton result and believe that something good will come out of our own result.
You are never gonna get more than 2 past CPFC
Still got one ticket going

I think 6 points in our last 2 will end up being enough to win the league, but we may as well put 6 or 7 past Palace just in case.
Yeah. If City win their remaining games, it's done. All those goals conceded against the likes of Norwich and Swansea are looking pretty costly now.
All we can do is try and win our last two and hope for the best.
Ming, Johnson, Flannagan, Sakho, Skrtel, Allen, Gerrard, Coutinho, Sterling, Sturridge, Suarez
Team picks itself really if Sturridge is fit.

Villa look horrendous at the moment, but to be fair you can never predict how they'll perform, they go from the sublime to the ridiculous game by game.
At this stage I'd just love us to take it into the last day. Go in level on 83 points and just see what happens.
It if City drop points in the meantime, all the better!!!
They're nothing without Benteke though.
To cloggypop are you NOT forgetting this win
I think it's goals scored.
That would be a dream if we did like 10-0 in the last two games. Can it be done - if we have the ball like we did im chelsea game.
That's the spirit!
That's what I thought too. Then I checked... and they beat City this season without Benteke. Fucking strange things have happened all season.
I like what Neville said about Villa - they do stupid, daft things. I initially thought he was going to scythe them, but then he went on to talk about how the likes of Agbonlahor and another I can't remember would do crazy things sometimes with their pace and score on you, and went on to cite some examples of big teams (including us) who have been on the wrong end of that before.
For what it's worth, Agbonlahor was missing from that team which beat City too. Strange shit is strange.
