City v Arsenal semi-final pre-match thread

[taleofbluehalves]

I think we've played well in every round bar the first game at Huddersfield so hopefully another good performance today. Hopefully Vinny is fit and plays.

 

[Wolfkin]

With VK in the side i think we will smash them

 

[lonestay]

So Kun or Jesus this afternoon ? I think Pep is gonna go Jesus from the start, just a feeling I get with the way Pep has been talking about him .

 

[Blue Coop]

We'll smash these today. Chelsea in the final is the right side for us to play too. Spurs are far more dynamic in the middle where we can get overrun.

Am i right in thinking that Sane and Sterling are only a booking away from a suspension? I was told this yesterday.

With the derby coming up on Thursday I have this nasty feeling we won't be in a position to field our best 11.

Definitely Kun, Pep is just keeping arsenal guessing.

Wish I was fortunate enough to be there with the 33,000 lucky Blues who will be, but I'll be there in spirit!

All the best to those of you heading south and happy travels!!!

I'll give them a shout for you buddy. Some people on this forum not bothering because it's only a semi.

Not true.
Sane's only got 2 all season.
Sterling's 5 off suspension.

It's not ideal going to Wembley but fuck it it's a semi.

The bent fa should have built the new stadium in the Midlands it's balmy that the spurs fans who left early could be home before our lot get off the car park.

I genuinely look forward to that ;-)

Taleof and Llama I just think Pep will give Jesus the start , he still is effectively an unknown quantity to all the prem teams, we all saw the glimpse of what he can do before the injury but maybe other teams won't have formulated a plan for him this late in the season, Kun they know what they are gonna get, brilliant striker that he is but still a known quantity . I think with Sane, Sterling and Jesus he is gonna try and do the Arsenal defence with speed early , but hey who knows with Pep !

What happens if bravo starts and its heading to penos, does pep bring on willy or let Bravo have his chance?

Bravo will probably take one!!

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Bravo will probably take one!!

If it goes to penalties and i hope it doesn't, i would also hope that we would have won before Bravo was needed.

Need our best players to be big players.

Love these big games only trouble is its only 11.20 and my bottle is going, as it will be on Thursday Hoping for two victories but knowing City any success will come after adding 20 years on all of us
