FA Cup 5th Round Draw 2019 - Newport (a)

[Zubrman]

The pitch looked like a bit of a bog to be honest. Still not as bad as I'vecseen them, but playing pass and move football on that pitch will be a bit on the difficult side.

Ederson with six assists then.

Yeah. Surprise them. Shoot on sight and pump it in to the box.

Shssssh! They may be reading.

Shssssh! They may be reading.

They are Welsh. Still call electricity the work of the devil.

Totally not looking forward to this game. I fear another Halifax on the horizon with that pitch.

Don’t remind me!
I was that upset I ran out of the house after listening to it on the radio. Mum drove around looking for me found me wandering 3 miles up the road.
Hopefully if we do crash out It’ll be the Mrs that will come looking. Haha

I was there apart from being typical city the other thing I remember is some city fans had the match ball and was playing football up a street

In an ideal world..some of our players are simply not used to playing on a farmers field in Wales in February.
But it is what it is! aslong as nobody gets injured. Hey Ho!

You say that but they have been children and I am sure that not all kiddies football pitches are like prem pitches, I do think there is to much made of it and we wouldn't want to be seen to be making excuses, fuck me it's Newport in the bottom division lol

I just hope our players, without getting complacent, don't go onto the field worrying about a cup upset like their fans do.

Mentality will be as key as physical strength in a contest like this. City need to be up for it and start by pressing the life out of Newport.

We gwt past tonight and Sunday and we are looking healthy to take control of the league again, with another cup final coming up.

A mix of best team and 2nd string to get us through.

Muric
Danilo
Zivchenko
Stones
Otter
Delph
Foden
Kev
Mahrez
Jesus
Sane
