Swansea (A) FA Cup | Pre-Match Thread

Going to be a tough tie this. We saw that a couple of years back and like us they are on good form.

Fucking hell, a talking penguin.

I trust in Peps judgement and if he plays him against Swansea I am sure he will do his best for the club on the pitch.

if Barcelona want him he can't be dud they believe he will improve their team.

I agree, and if he plays one of the first team Cbs cannot get injured. So benefits the TEAM.
A 19 year old full international is not as bad as some believe.
Still probably not good enough for us in PL going forward.

Nah, don’t be silly, penguins don’t talk. Have you never watched Pingu?

He’s a writing penguin and he might be right, Swansea are on a high and sat in 3rd in the Championships so should be as tough or tougher than some lower PL teams. They play again in 3days but are unlikely to need to rest players because they play Sheffield, who sit in 23rd place, and they should dispatch them with ease.

If us or Wolves win this midweek our league game home to Wolves 20th March will need rearanging.

 

[yerwot?]

with 5 subs, strong as possible, pass, pass and pass then a quick thrust, score early and mentally they will go into damage limitation mode. Despite the fine run they are on, they have not faced anyone like City, their game plan will be guesswork , apart from deadball situations, something we have been very good coping with. " Right lads watch out for that false 9, if they go without a striker our centre-half can roam at will as long as their inverted full-backs dont er er ah fuckit just do your best"

I think we will win 2-1

Feel confident on this one. I think we're on a roll now and once we get a run together we look unstoppable. I'm starting to feel like we won't lose another game all season.

As for the team, I'm not too bothered who we play but I wouldn't play Garcia again for the very simple reason, he wants to leave. He's nowhere near the same level as Sane was so he can enjoy the reserves until he leaves to go to Barcelona. He might be a model professional and be great in training but there's no point in playing him. I would rather see THB have go next to Laporte. At least we will get to see if THB is a good player and he wants to stay.

We will win 3-0 and another step closer to another trophy!

I doubt Blackburn will let THB play for us tomorrow

Doh! Course I forgot he's on loan :)

Anyone but Garcia though I'd bring up another youth player.

I think Garcia will start as I think Pep believes in him and still wants him to stay at the club
In the last round he took off Mendy and THB and kept Garcia on for the full 90 minutes.
I am sure Pep must be aware that Garcia wanting to leave does not go down well with the fans but he seems intent on playing him whenever he can.
