Everton (A) FA Cup QF | Pre-Match Thread

This is going to be tough for me. My Dad died two days ago and it will be the first City match without him.

He grew up in Moss Side and as a kid would 'jib in' underneath peoples legs to get in the ground. A regular at the old Kippax. Said the greatest moment was the roar when Colin Bell returned from injury.

The first City match I wasn't by his side watching. Fucking hurts.

Hope City win for him. Though it would be typical if they didn't. Xx

Sorry for your loss. We will win for you and your dad today.

Is the extra time as well as pens ?

Yep. ET in which a 6th sub can be used and then pens

Of course..just trying to be positive.

imagine match day thread meltdown - goal down and pep not making a single sub in 75 minutes with 6 on the bench:)

Clean sheet blues a controlled 2-0

One thing about typical City was losing the last match before the international break. Hopefully this won’t be the case this evening.

Effectively this is the last match in a very intense run of fixtures going back to December. We’ll start 2 big months after the international break. Some of our players may even get a bit of a rest, Fernandinho, Jesus, Ederson, Aguero, Laporte and Mendy so they should be recharged for the run win.

Just hope we get ourselves through this evening and set ourselves up for a big finish

Mendy needs a good long break alright. From now until the transfer window.

It’s a cup game so this will be very tough and can go either way. Will be taking City to go through hopefully.
