FA Cup Semi Final - Pre Match Thread

[kaz7]

Pep Guardiola confirms the City squad will stay in London after tomorrow’s game “to avoid trains, planes, trains, planes, buses as much as possible.” “We’re not staying in a bad city.”

Pep Guardiola has stated Sergio Aguero is “almost fit” for tomorrow’s FA Cup Semi-Final.

Left back is the only question mark, the rest of the team picks itself. If Sergio is fit of course.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
?
Dinho
D. Silva
De Bruyne
Sterling
Aguero
Bernardo

PEP We will see (about squad selection). Not everybody fit but almost everyone is. @aguerosergiokun is almost fit. He is travelling with us.

PEP When I was young you saw the final of FA Cup more than a Premier League game. The tradition, the fans, the managers. I cannot deny how nice it would be for me personally. The club has won it five times and we want another one, so we will try.

Pep Guardiola on City failing to sell-out their allocation at Wembley: “I don’t know the reason why. I don’t know, maybe the club could answer better than me. When they [the fans] can go, they will and when they can’t, they don’t; maybe for different reasons.”

Did he say how long Zinchenko is out for?

Pep Guardiola on Oleksandr Zinchenko’s injury: “I think he said in a statement yesterday. 10 to 12 days he will be back hopefully.”

Pep Guardiola on who will start at left-back to cover for Oleksandr Zinchenko: “I’ve almost decided, of course I can’t give an indication as to who will play there.”

I think I've read 10 days. So he'll likely miss the Semi and the first leg against Spurs, but should be available after that assuming no setbacks.

The way the ticket question was asked was typical.

City fans not backing you in this competition.........

I wish someone would ask what exactly is wrong with Delph.

It’s not even a press conference any more it’s an extension of social media trolling from plastics who could not find Trafford or Liverpool on the map.

Yes. Another snidey, loaded, question from the Talksport reporter. No interest in covering the game just trying to undermine our club at every stage. As everyone knows in Manchester Dom McGuiness is a United fan (along with his creepy pal Simon Stone). He represents a disgraceful organisation that has run relentless negative coverage about our club. No balance or context to anything they report. No wonder the media industry is in a steep decline with these sort of standards.

he's currently struggling to follow his man, so much so he keeps losing his way to the matchday bus.

The irony of the question. It's the media including Talkshite that are going on about it...
