Crystal Palace (N) - Sat 17th May, 16:30 | FA Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

[Pedestrian]

Cup final and he plays an 11 that’s never played together. Cant wait for this season to end. Nico needs moving on in the summer.

 

[SilvaisSkyBlue]

Usual predictable negative boring cunts on here, fucking pathetic…

 

[cookster]

Could be playing Doku and Savinho as wingbacks

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Very harsh on Rico not to make the bench. McAtee too, but especially Rico after the semi final.

 

[deano ou812]

It looks bonkers and wide open to the counter….

Yes you’d think so especially with doku and savinho who aren’t the greatest at tracking back,but let’s see ..

 

[Gabriel]

No way Glasner can have prepared for our set up. Must have had eyes like Nookie Bear when he saw the teamsheet.

 

[MCFC1993]

KDB not good enough for a contract but starting yet again. Strange…

Financial decision.

Good enough to start in this current version of City but not enough to justify 2+ years on similar wages.

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue never give in, they fight to the end. Come on City, Come on City. Show 'em lads, show 'em all. Especially the so called Eagles who will just fly away when they see our line up. Their bravado will disappear. (fingers crossed)

Especially the know nowt alleged media types who wouldn't know a curling stone from a football. The silly billies haven't a clue, they are just a bunch of death's head on a mop stick. Addle pated buffoons.

Especially the Specsavers needing, whistle blowing nonentities who call themselves officials. Yes official jelly bellied saddle geese! Do you STILL not know who we are??
WE ARE, MANCHESTER CITY, THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.

Come on team do it for KDB (& John Boy!!)

In Pep I trust, in this team I trust. Great team by the way today. We are going in there all guns blazing. :-) :-)

 

[jonny485]

So going for it then?

 

[TFC]

If everyone puts a shift in we'll be fine. Fucking come on City

 

[ChicagoBlue]

……………….Ortega
……Akanji…Dias….Gvardiol
…KDB….Bernardo…O’Reilly
Savinho..Marmoush..Doku
……….……Haaland

Good to see Echeverri on the bench, as well as an entire new midfield for late in the game to help with Tuesday!

 

[youngbob]

Bernardo

That's... it? Just Bernardo in midfield on his own?

 

[Jwoody19]

Why did we sign Nico Gonzalez?

 

[Bri1975]

Very harsh on Rico not to make the bench. McAtee too, but especially Rico after the semi final.

Have to assume he's injured with khusanov on the bench

 

[flook]

No way Glasner can have prepared for our set up. Must have had eyes like Nookie Bear when he saw the teamsheet.

no fucker was prepared for that line up, when was the last time we played without a holding midfielder......oh wait

 

[pbueno16]

If we can actually keep the ball and press high and early when we lose it, good lineup. Just hope the subs come out early if we lose control or lose legs.

 

[northendenton]

Bad omen

What are the runes telling you woe woe and thrice woe lol

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Yes you’d think so especially with doku and savinho who aren’t the greatest at tracking back,but let’s see ..

That was my first thought. Who the hell is gonna track back.

I sincerely hope I am really really wrong but this feels like disaster writ large all over it. Why Pep. Why.

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

What happened the last time that we didn’t play with a midfielder in a cup final and it was one of a club legend’s last games?

 

[Tb1981]

Go on pep!
Fuck all to lose, everything to gain
Come to a shootout, may as well bring the big guns
