Bournemouth (A) - Sun 30th Mar, 16:30 | FA Cup | Pre-Match Thread

[KS55]

Massive potential.

I just had a look but Bournemouth never won any trophy like ever. Not even a semifinal for League Cup or FA cup. apart from maybe winning a league to get promoted...

so beating City would get them their best ever cup success by playing a cup semifinal. wow.

getting To Europe would also be the first time ever which they have a chance for if they win Fa cup or even if they do well in PL.

That, if anything, is exactly what worries me. We should have the beating of Bournemouth, even in this, an iffy season. But the prospect of even getting to a semi-final at Wembley will put stars in the eyes of the Bournemouth players. They will surely play out of their skins.
Does the prospect of getting to a Wembley semi-final put stars in the eyes of our players, now? Since 2011, how many times have City teams, in one guise or another, been to Wembley either at semi-final or final stage? It must be an absurd number. The question must be asked: how hungry are they?

I reckon we've been to Wembley every season at least once since the 2010/11 season .Be it FA Cup semis/finals , LC Finals and Community Shields

Massive potential.

I love him but I'm not getting my hopes up too much for him for the rest of this season. Never know though

 

[eyalluvitt]

We are due the rub of the green on Sunday, maybe even a refereeing decision will go our way

rumoured that hiujsen and kerkez suspended,not seen it myself either

They are both 100% suspended. 2 of their best players. Gives us half a chance :-)

Thank you for that information, you would have thought that the FA would show such news on their web site but couldn't find it.

 

[Marvin.]

BBC Football feed says Pep's Press conference is at 12.30 today.

We might find out if Gvardiol is available.

Arguably their 2 best players, so you’d think we can outscore them, despite a clean sheet being unlikely?

 

[LeonardoDaVnci]

One sure sign of a team in a good place is one that literally picks itself. We're so far off this now it's bizarre. Even if Rodri was back who else would be nailed on to start ? Haaland, Dias, Nico after that ?. RB is just our own Bermuda Triangle. LB Gvardiol is struggling atm. I like Marmoush so would include him. Would be surprised if we win but no so if we are knocked out. Fwiw my 11 in a 4-2-3-1

Eddy
Khusanov
Dias
Reiss (bit of guess)
Gvardiol

Nico
Nunes (over Gundo, Silva, Kova...)

Foden (assuming Bobb not ready)
Marmoush
Doku

Haaland

 

[BringBackSwales]

I assume the **** who just asked Pep about the charges, and then when Pep blanked him said “one more charge…… til the end of the season” was a snide piss taking rag?

 

[Fordyboy46]

Someone needs to tell Pep we play on Sunday

 

[BringBackSwales]

What has done **** just asked him about the cup final defeat against the rags? It was the best part of a year ago, let it go you ****, as bad as in here

Another tosser at the press conference to go with utter twat Stone

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Probably the most downbeat press conference I've ever seen
