Strong line to for this one obviously we need to rest some key players though.

Will be a tough game. they made some problem for us 2 years ago.

No fans this time we should smash them.

That’s 14 games in a row I’ve put lose and we’ve won, not going to break the habit so the “lose machine” rolls on again.

Swansea has conceded 15 in 27 games. By far the best defensive record in the Championship. Stones, Dias, Cancelo, Rodri, Gundo, Bernardo and Foden should get a rest with only 2 days rest before Swansea and then 2 days before Spurs. With lots of rotation this will be very very hard

Steffen
Walker Garcia Laporte Mendy
Doyle Dinho B.Kidd
Mahrez Jesus Torres​

No idea who the third man in midfield should be. Can’t see him going with both Doyle and Palmer in midfield. Play Brian Kidd for his experience

And put Kidd on penalties.

Myself and TINY did that all through 17/18 and 18/19 and the fucking whinging that happened.

Don’t under estimate Swansea.. they are playing really well at the moment..

I'd love to see Palmer but I just don't see Pep doing it now. In fact I wouldn't be surprised to see Doyle not start, although it'd upset to me. Agreed that we should give our midfield options as much rest as possible, especially until KdB is out.

I think we will see one of Palmer and Doyle in midfield. Pep started Garcia, THB, Bernabe, Doyle and Delap against Bournemouth, and there’s only 2 days of rest before and after Swansea, so I think we’ll see one of them

Hope you don't mind a visit from Swansea in the midst of your celebrations from today! Suspect both of us are thinking Wednesday is a distraction we can do without and hopefully we will be back up with you in the league next season (division wise not league position wise! )

Just a small plug for our own pre-match thread which covers some features of matches from the past as well as some of our classic 5th Round ties (we haven't had many over the years!) and of course some generic discussion

Season 20/21: The Swansea City v Manchester City FA Cup 5th Round Match Thread - Planet Swans

Any thoughts as to what kind of team you may field on Wednesday? Clearly there is some discussion around these parts of the quarter final game a couple of years back - less said about some ref decisions the better, I'm still convinced we'd have won the cup had we got past you!

Anyway, hope to see a couple visit the discussion over there as well but let's see what Wednesday brings (is it wrong to fancy penalties after the one you took today...? ;-) )

We did look today at our first Premier League game back in 2011 which of course was the first one for a certain Mr Aguero...

I would imagine Doyle and Garcia will start and, if we are ahead then others like Palmer and Bernabe may get a chance.

Whenever I say something isn’t going to happen. It does.

Said at Half time in my work group chat, to a scouser, that we’ll never win at their place, then said at 2-1 we’d throw it away.

Ive started doing it on purpose, think I’ve lost my marbles but it’s working!
