FA Cup Semi Final - Pre Match Thread

Always liked Fidden but think Fodden would perform better.

Both good players but Foden is even better.

Brighton manager Chris Hughton on facing City: "It's foolish to go toe to toe. I'm not embarrassed to try and contain them. If you play open they have options and strategies to open you up, starting with a goalkeeper who can play a pass from 70 yards."

"We want to start well. The last thing you need is to be out of the game quickly. If we are concentated, determined - and City have an off-day - we have a chance. If we are defeatist from the moment we walk on the pitch there's only one outcome."

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

Plus Danilo looked shattered at the end, play 3 at back with Laporte left side we have donw before lets face it they don't need to defend much, thats extra midfielder may help break them down.

Zinchenko is an attacking midfielder who become reliable LB.

I am sure Foden can match Zinchenko's performance.

That’s been in the past though, I can’t remember the last time he had anything other than a good game, hence the clamour for him to get more game time.

If Mendy or Delph are fit he may go with one of them though as it was a worry last night when both Danilo and Kyle picked up knocks. The burden needs to be shared.

I think Kompany will play if he can manage the 90 for that reason.

Brilliant lol

Not like our favourite WUM to post a load of bollocks.....

Surely he goes strongest team possible win the game, avoid extra time and move on.
Too many changes is not always good.

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

Always liked Fidden but think Fodden would perform better.

It’s Foden ffs.

The way Pep is managing Foden's game time (as well as Fidden's & Fodden's..)
makes me doubt he will start again only 3 days after his first full PL match.

Gundogan, Bernardo, David and Sterling have had a rest and surely would be able to start Brighton AND spurs.
After that we have 5 days before Palace kicks off. That's some good rest.

Danilo wasn't shattered, he took a late body check and couldn't breathe deeply. Should be ok.

Is Otamendi injured? Otherwise he should get a start, also to give Laporte a rest as a potential cover for LB post Brighton.

I am completely in the Mendy-is-in-the-doghouse camp. Before Pep gives him a shirt he would try any other possible option for LB.
Besides that I personally doubt Mendy is fully fit like once was. And far from being match fit at all.

I hope Vinnie is fit for Wembley.
