Makes no sense. Why couldn’t it go to penalties? Last time we played them at Wembley in went to extra time, they might not be wolves or Leicester but a cup final is a cup final. Anything can happen.

I'd be happy if it goes to penalties as Bravo is at least good at saving penalties. Would even be better if Cech played as can't remember the last time he saved a penalty.

I am just not confident that's all. To me Ederson is about 1/3 of the team.

I live in hope that this game will be decided by football and not at the behest of a referee like last time we played at Wembley. Although I hold little hope that this will be the case.

Yep, I bet he refuses to consult with the VAR ref on Sunday when no amount of time was too long for him to waste on VAR and watching the screen for himself at Liverpool in that match he nearly ruined.

We have nothing to fear really ... it’s just nerves before the final settling in amongst most ...

Two of their Fab Four aren’t even going to play ...

Mikhytarian - Cup tied
Lacazette - Post op, long term injury out

Only Ozil and Abumayang will play. Ozil sometimes goes to sleep in his defensive side of game so all his genius attaching wise levels out at his ability to vacate spaces at times which KdB and Silva will no doubt take advantage of.

Abumayang is new, hasn’t played that many games with them so I’m not too worried about it.

And they have lost their best plan A (in Sanchez) and best plan B (in Giroud) ... what else? Oh, Ramsey who has been their Wembley hero many a times in recent years is a major injury doubt with an ongoing groin strain ...

So I’m very confident ... our boys will be hurting from Wigan defeat ... Aguero well up for it, Sterling well rested and refreshed, Sane has had many a below his par games but always come back strong so would be looking forward to putting it right ... that’s the front three ... I don’t think I need to say a single word about the next three behind them, Silva, Ferna and KdB ...

I don’t see any Arsenal player getting in our XI ... so c’mon City ... and c’mon all of you, let’s go support our team and lift the first cup of the season and first of many of our Pep era!!!

Ramsey injured too
 
ffs - VAR - wavy yellow lines - still think Mata's goal was OK last Saturday -
Can't believe I said that - Loathe anything Rags....
Come On City......stuff 'em up the Arse....
 
Back to a first class football pitch will help our passing qualities for sure, compared to the poor Wigan turf.
Raz back to the right wing should be a positive element, too.

As we can only beat ourselves, I hope the lads are ready for a strong answer to the Wigan match.
Character will win this final.

Expect a tight match and Arsenal rushing into the match from the go. Hope the Blues are prepared.

I've been predicting Willy's heroic save and do it again for Claudio: he will save at least one penalty.
From Aubameyang. Or Ozil. Or both.
If possible get Yaya in before shootout. If he is on the bench at all.
