Sheffield United (N) - FA Cup SF - Sat 22nd April, 16:45 | Pre-Match Thread

[BringBackSwales]

Saturday is the only time we have to rest a few for the rest of the season. I’d take a risk and rest Stones, Ake, Rodri, Gundogan, KDB & Haaland.

Walker
Akanji
Laporte
Lewis
Phillips
Bernie
Foden
Palmer
Mahrez
Alvarez

If we don’t play a keeper I will be very cross

 

[ftg89]

With the subs tonight, you can pretty much make a team out of them. Kept Dias in…

Ortega
Walker
Laporte
Dias
Lewis
Palmer
Philips
Perrone
Mahrez
Alvarez
Foden


Obviously Pep won’t go with this but it certainly keep things fresh for arsenal.

Bloody hell folks, we've just beaten Bayern fairly comfortably over two legs, we will beat these lot in which ever way we wish

No doubt we will make 3 or 4 changes, and the game will be over by half time

That's not being arrogant, it's because we are a phenomenal side who are flying, whilst Sheff United are missing two of their best players, and are up against the best team in Europe

3 or 4 nil and we will win at a canter

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Pep will go with

---------------Ortega
Walker---Stones---Laporte…Lewis
--------------Phillips
--------KDB---Gundogan
Mahrez--------Alvarez--------Foden

I think it will be close to this but think he will rest Stones who needs managing more than some others.

 

[SamTheGuru]

They can't start together (but will do). I think Palmer does have good feet and maybe in a year or 2. About time we kept and developed a good squad player. Those days of having "staff player' have sadly gone.

 

[MadchesterCity]

---------------Ortega
Walker---Stones---Laporte…Lewis
--------------Rodri
---------Gundog—Foden
Mahrez------Alvarez----------Grealish

 

[MCFC ISRAEL]

Ortega
Walker
Akanji
Laporte
Gomez
Philips
Gundogan
Bernardo
Mahrez
Grealish
Alvarez

Definitely not our best possible line up but should be good enough to win Sheffield and gives important rest to Ederson, Kevin, Rodri, Dias, Haaland.

Phillips has to play over Rodri.

Can see quite a patched up team with Arsenal on the horizon.

We never get the opportunity to play our best side in the FA cup semi-final. Every single time.

 

[vmsuhail]

My team for this would be

Ortega

Walker
Laporte
Akanji
Lewis

Phillips
Gundogan
Bernardo

Mahrez
Alvarez
Foden


Think pep may go out try blitz them earlier and make changes though

Bernardo needs to be rested for Arsenal. He has played every game recently
