Plymouth Argyle (H) - Sat 1st Mar, 17:45 | FA Cup | Pre-Match Thread

[Legal Alien]

Today’s team: Ortega, Lewis, Reis, Ake, O’Reilly, Gundogan, Bernardo, KDB, Grealish, McAtee, Foden

I like that team, it gives everyone some needed minutes and should be more than good enough to win today.

I'm surprised Foden is playing, but he does need to get his form back.

3-0 to us.

COME ON CITY!!!!

 

[Impeccable One]

Going to mark this in my diary … the day that KDB, Grealish, Gundogan & even Bernardo are now part of our 2nd team for cup games against lower division teams [emoji15]

Any chance ITV can mention the charges?

 

[MellowJoe]

I’m not sure how betting works. So if you put a quid on Plymouth to win. If you’re a city fan does that mean you’re a ****?

Absolutely :)

 

[Craig]

Should be but is surprising given how strong Pep normally goes even when we’re still in the champs league and title race. Should have enough but it will be slow and boring

Some of the reactions to that line-up are a bit OTT. Should be more than enough to win the game, and gives some players much needed minutes.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Bench will get us out of the shit after the inevitable goal on the break from the opposition.

2-1 City after a frustrating struggle.

I remember when we swatted aside teams like this about 6-0. I miss those City teams.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Nowt wrong with that line up. It's stronger than I expected.

 

[ufo]

Echeverri on the bench?

Everready is not ready , he’s charging

 

[lionheart]

City are a juicy 33/1 to win the tie on penalties. Might be worth a flutter.

 

[Legal Alien]

Absolute disgrace of a line up

Eh?? you need to give your head a wobble lad and read the team again.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Any chance ITV can mention the charges?

and the comparable team + bench cost for both teams would be nice too

We’re shit at penalties !

 

[DJBusinesscake]

Zero pace. I don’t expect anything.

Lmao, grow up pal

 

[supercity88]

Good blend of youth and experience. 5 English players, 4 from academy and 4 under the age of 23. Then 5 players over 30! Goes to show why the rebuild was so desperately needed and makes you question why the club thought they could survive a further year without freshening things up.

Anyway, looks the perfect side to create chances against their low block with plenty on the bench if needed.

That's because they're all finished pretty much

 

[BringBackSwales]

Agreed mate, it gets so tiryesome the shit folk post before a game, looking forward to the match day tread already

I’m assuming this may be a deliberate typo Gaz?

 

[MillisleBlue]

Walking football and sideways passing it is then

Both before and after Plymouth inevitably score.

If you put a quid on Plymouth, that means that you lose your quid.




HOPEFULLY!

 

[mancityscot]

At least half of that starting 11 today are way off form. This will be a very tough game.

 

[PitchInvader BHA away1983]

And your point is?

As stated on this thread earlier!!

No legs in Midfield
No Strikers
A new back 4
Out of form players
Against a team that will run all day long!!!
Worst team selection since CL Final Porto!!

I could go on, back I need a strong drinks before the game!!!

I want them to win, back a better selection would have made it way more enjoyable and easier!!!

IMO :0)
