Like others have said, a full strength side will beat these. They looked very average today

after this if we can score the first goal it could really knock the suffing out of em

We also want Chelsea to secure CL before we play them. A win on Tuesday against Leicester would help.

I can often be pessimistic but watching that FA cup I'm gonna go out on a limb here for the first time and say if our players turn up mentally and play our own game (as Pep has alluded to not long ago), we'll smash Chelsea. City to to win 3-1. Feel free to bookmark :)

They play awful football for how expensive their squad is and kind of force the opposition to play the same way. Arsenal and Leicester gave them a taste of their own medicine with waiting for mistakes and lobbing it into channels. With our centre back selection yesterday was wondering if it might hint at Pep using all 3 of Stones_Dias_Laporte in the final, we always look a bit lost playing 3/5 at the back though.

I think we need Walker just for his pace against Werner, but with instructions not to tackle in the box

Is anyone else struggling to understand the logic in reducing the two finalist prize fund because of Covid? We already know UEFA are off their tits, but this takes it up a notch.

Terry Christian has tweeted his condolences to Chelsea but reassured them that the whole of humanity will be supporting them in the final against you!

Yeah ok mate, if you say so

Honestly you look at the bigger picture and they ain’t the big bad wolf everyone is thinking they are ........... would you have lost to them twice had Pep played his strongest team ??????? They beat a Madrid that was probably the poorest side in a hell of a long side ........I mean had they lost today and created chance after chance then fair enough but they created very little........... if City turn up in 2 weeks time then I can see it being a comfortable victory ........... Chelsea still have to go hard out in the next two games they could still end up with a few injuries .........Would you really wanna face that Leicester team again ????? They are gonna be well up for it

Every game is different.

If we’d played our strongest side in both recent games with them we still might have lost but then still beaten them in the final.
