Gael Clichy is determined to help Manchester City lift the Premier League title, claiming "the Capital One Cup won't be enough".The French full-back was disappointed that Manuel Pellegrini's men could not follow up their trophy success against Sunderland at Wembley earlier this month as they crashed out of the FA Cup and Champions League in the space of a week against Wigan and Barcelona respectively. A quadruple target has now been reduced to a double and Clichy insists the players are focused on their remaining 11 games as they know the Premier League title is in their hands. City are six points behind current leaders Chelsea, but with three games in hand, and face massive trips to derby rivals Manchester United and fellow title hopefuls Arsenal and Liverpool. But Clichy is confident that they can pick up the necessary points required to come out on top.
He said: "Just the Capital One Cup won't be enough. So if you don't have this energy and desire for winning every single game no matter who you play, then you have nothing to do in City. "So the project is fantastic, we are lucky to be here sharing this with the team-mates but, you know, its crunch time and we have to get the points until the end of the season."
He added: "A title is a title, this year is not in the pocket yet but we're going to try hard to give the fans and the kids who support City something to share at the end of the season because we've seen it two years ago, the emotion is really high and you cannot beat this. "So we have a fair chance if we keep winning like we did at Hull until the end of the season. It's basically if we win all the games we are going to be Champions, so it's easy to say but not easy to do but we're going to try really hard to make this happen." City face the Premier League's bottom club Fulham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday and punters can use their free bet to back them to put another three points the board.
