Plymouth Argyle (H) - Sat 1st Mar, 17:45 | FA Cup | Pre-Match Thread

All we are saying, is give Reis a chance.....

 

[Gray]

Will be interesting to see what team Pep starts with, I can see Grealish, Gundo, Lewis and Reis getting some game time. Looking forward to this, decent weather and early evening kick off and 8000 away fans should be a good atmosphere..

And the Metrolink being repaired, wonderful.

 

[Gray]

We have to take it seriously and win.

But... I still want Gvardiol and Savinho to get a rest, they have played TOO many games in a row.

Play O Reilly or Ake LB.

McAtee/Foden RW, but inverting (like Marmoush did on LW) and let Nunes hold the width on the right.

Bloody hell they are trained professional athletes, they don’t need a rest. They have a whole week after this game, will they go home and put their feet up. No they bloody well won’t they will be flat out training.

Best team possible, get the game won.

Starting Echeverri will give us HUGE lift , All what is needed is a spark (bit of a skill ) of him to light the fans and the rest of the team.

My bet is Pep puts Echeverri on the bench and gives him a debut @60 mins if things have gone well.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Bog rolls being thrown on the pitch brings back some memories.

Wasn't it,hey! Jumpers for goalposts, being shouted in for your tea, next goal wins, Marvellous!! :)

Coming over from Boston, UK today. First time with our son, son in law and Grandson. CTID. Keeping it going through the generations. My old man would have been proud. Thanks Dad for making me a blue.

Didn’t the Mayflower set off from Boston to Plymouth before setting sail for the new world?
Plymouth you say?
Proof that Argyle fans are infiltrating our areas!!

 

[denTTony]

I would think Ortega, Lewis, Kushanov, Oreilly, McAtee, Grealish, are all definite starters. I think we will also see Ake, Gundogan, Marmoush then 2 from Foden, KDB and Nico

 

[AshtonBlueMooner]

Hopefully a decent performance today. A strong team selection will take us into the next round. Really want to be down at Wembley come Saturday 17th May to banish the memories of last years woeful (drunk) performance.
However, one game at a time.
Come on you blue boys.

Plymouth have shown they can raise their game and must be given the respect they’ve earned. Hopefully they’ve had their days in the sun and we see a fairly comfortable City victory this evening! Then again do City ever do things the easy way?

Every time my lad comes back from school and takes his trainers off, there are little bits of rubber everywhere.

People get injured when they play too much.

Haven't you been paying attention this season?

 

[Bluesince1979]

We have a week off after tomorrow play full strength team.

Im with you

The FA cup is very important this season. Top 4 and a trophy would be an amazing achievement

Absolutely, no way can we disrespect Plymouth they've earned this chance. But realistically we should have too much for them, Liverpool with a weakened team we're pressuring them non stop but just couldn't score. Plymouth one chance one goal

And the Metrolink being repaired, wonderful.

You can’t have everything :0(

But a good City win will make up for it?? :0)

 

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

Really looking forward to seeing Claudio Echeverri play.

There’s always hope that day will come and it will be TODAY :0)

Keep it positive

CTID :0)

The state of the pitches back in the day, probably the game would be canceled these days.

Remember my first match for the cubs, in the rain, circa 1969 - brown leather/suede ball the shape of a Revel, weight of a medicine ball.

I headed a ball for the first time - I was knocked back two yards, flat on my back and the ball didn't move from the point where it hit me. It was a close game - 12-5 or something.

"Aye, but you tell youngsters that today, and they won't believe you..."

 

[BringBackSwales]

Really looking forward to seeing Claudio Echeverri play.

Is he actually in the squad?
