FA Cup Semi Final - Pre Match Thread

[Newman Noggs]

Ffs, another dreadful game coming up and no fault of City's. Even if we go two up Brighton won't open up and will still be defending in numbers.

In a league game you'd be absolutely correct but, hopefully, in a cup tie a two goal lead will force them to come out. If they take the lead, however...

what an absolute bastards trick. Just flaunting his wealth in the faces of the kids that attend his old school - how on earth can that be warranted?

The strange thing about this BBC report is that it carries a direct link to the Daily Mail website which slags us off for not selling out. Why the hell would a so-called public service website funded by taxpayers do that?

that front 5 is so technically able and quick it would be too much on a big wembley pitch....i 5hink fidden would relish the chance.

dont get me wrong, Merl8n is still yhe stand out premier league player above anyone for me but there are a lot of important games to play....keep him fresh

---------------------Jesus
Sane-----Bernardo--------KDB-------Raheem
-------------------Gundogan

Laporte---Kompany----Otamendi---Walker

------------------Ederson

Although if Mendy's fit I'd play him.

No chance of that Pep is taking the cup seriously...imagine the 'disrespect' abuse we'd get putting Jesus in goals & Eddie up top.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

I think the Alty Tit might, with the aid of VAR, chalk off three of those!

He may struggle in this one, remember unless there is an electrical problem replays for VAR are going to be shown on the big screens....I'll believe it literally when I see it.

 

[GX Blue]

I think KDB won’t start. Played twice in 4 days since his injury.
No Kun either as we won’t risk him. Maybe Sterling gets a full week off too?
Fernandinho also just coming back from an injury.
I’ll go...

Ederson

Walker Kompany Laporte Danilo

Gundogan

Bernardo D.Silva Foden Sane

Jesus



Then for Spurs


Ederson

Walker Stones Laporte Danilo

Fernandinho

Sterling KDB D.Silva Bernardo

Aguero

I'm getting confused here, is this young lad from Stocky called Fodden or Fidden?

I think we need a targetman up top.

 

[Trojan1962]

I wouldn’t play Danilo at left back with the exception of last night it has been a disaster, as he is so one footed

Always liked Fidden but think Fodden would perform better.
