Just curious. Apologies if this has already been mentioned but - how will our supporters be? Did we sell out our allotment of tickets?
 
This will be harder than expected. Gooners and RM showed how to beat/block us and anybody with half-decent defence can do the same.
Play 4 man defence between 12 yard and 25 yards, play 2 "wingers" as full backs when needed to make a 6 man defence. Play 3 midfield in front of defence 18-30 yards who will take on anybody in front of them to stifle their passes. Play Billy Whizz in attack for long ball to chase, hold for a runner, get "fouled" for set piece or lucky goal.

We pass it around side to side, too slow, stay mainly up the middle and give time for the opposition to form up.
We have maybe 80% possession and are limited to long shots.

Especially in cup tie when penalties are the way to beat us.
RM got fortunate with the goal, got outplayed, but won the tie.
Two draws versus Chelsea this season, doubt it will be a walkover.

Come on City!!!
