FA Cup Final v Watford - Pre Match Thread

[MAG]

As Pep and Kompany said ... tonight we celebrate but tomorrow we go again!

Five days to go ... win this and we complete the domestic clean sweep!

Some would call it a treble, and some the domestic quad, call it whatever you like ... it’ll be unprecedented and this team deserves it!

KdB back today off the bench was a great sight and is a nailed on starter for Saturday now ... Kompany would want to play too and who’s going to stop him, not even Pep would do that surely ... there’s no debate on second goalie as Pep has played Ederson throughout this competition ...

Watford got a silly red today for one of their key players ... so that’s a plus ...

Let’s do this too ... c’mon Champions!

Did Watford rest any players today ?

 

[Ban-jani]

Did Watford rest any players today ?

Holebas, one of their best players, got sent off so is banned.

Come on City, one more game to make history.

 

[RandomJ]

They got spanked by West Ham and have Holebas suspended. They will obviously raise their game for the final and we need to watch out for Deulofeu. No doubt Foster will have his usual worldie against us as well. But as always if our players turn up there is no one that can stop us.

I almost don’t care, it’ll be party time in London next weekend :-)

Not really, Deulofeu was subbed at 59 mins so can call it resting him early ... Holebas saw straight red so would miss the final.

Just seen it on motd did look harsh,they are appealing against it so if it gets overturned he’s nailed on to score then. ;-)

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Think Holebas will get that red overturned, and rightly so.

 

[Eaglechief]

Our players should be relaxed now they've won the title again, I expect them to put on a great display in the cup final, in front of a national tv audience.

The motd chaps were pushing for the card to be over turned by fa, because...well, y'know, just because!

Thought reds counted in the competition they were given in only these days?

 

[Glauber Berti]

That applies to Yellow card bans but there’s still a competition cross over for red cards.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Ederson
Walker
Zinchenko
Kompany
Laporte
Gundogan
Silva
De Bruyne
Sterling
Silva
Aguero

 

[masterwig]

Sane will start the cup final I think.

Cheers...all good then.

 

[denTTony]

I would hope Sane gets a start, harsh not to start Mahrez too after yesterday.

Think Raheem hasnt looked himself last 3 or 4 games, probably all the games he has played now and fatigue, maybe he is on the bench instead ?

pudits are saying highly unlikely to get recinded and tbh i think would set a a bad precedent if was recinded so he could play in the final.

 

[Neville Kneville]

I never realised that red cards in league games counted as a ban for cup finals.

Bit harsh.

 

[jrb]

Same team bar Sane and De Bruyne in.

Let’s win the FA Cup and make domestic history.
