FA Cup Semi-Final | City v Chelsea pre-match thread

That line up is more like it.

I'd be well happy with that line up, c'mon City, another chance of beating the rags in a final ha

They wouldn't be amused if things in the league went south due to fatigue and Liverpool/Arsenal won it.

Pep should field a good side *and* rest some players. The league is far more important now. To win 4 titles in a row is great in itself.

I think the likes of Nunes and Bobb are good enough to do a job for say 60 minutes vs Chelsea.

I wouldn't even have Nunes on the bench. He's abysmal. If he plays, we are big trouble.

My thoughts exactly.

Should be looking to move him on IMO

Come on Blues, let's just beat this shower of bastards. They're pump. Even that win against Everton, did you see the chances Everton created. Apart from that through I quite like Chelsea......but it's time we beat them.

Doubt over Haaland from press conference? Doubt he’d start anyway but not having him on the bench would be a blow.

Muscular injury I think.

He's abysmal.

Pep doesn't start abysmal players.

We've got a squad loaded with experience. Players who will not let a penalty shootout loss affect them. As fans we're over it pretty quick, we won it last year and we were the better side. Focus on what we can do, not what's happened.

Win tomorrow and the mood all changes. 6 league games to go for history.

We need to balance those completely fucked from Wednesday with a team that can get the job done. 8 games left this season and then you can all rest...after the Euro's of course! But that's the message.

Brighton is on Thursday so plenty of rest before then and midweek breaks to come now too.

De Bruyne and Haaland aside I think the rest will be fine to start. A few might need to come off earlier, but they'll want to go out there and get the job done.

What is wrong with some blues not being bothered about the most famous cup competition in the world. All very strange to me.

Oh how our fan base seems to have changed from that day in 2011 when we put Utd to the sword, a day that changed football in this country for the better.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

No chance Haaland plays tomorrow. Muscular issue? No chance it’ll resolve in a couple of days.
