FA Cup semi-final v Man City

[Buzzo]

Who is ****face? so many options????

[Buzzo]

I saw that both Walker and KDB are out from Twitter - no official confirmation though

KDB out would be huge for us, more for the League games he could miss than the semi final.

I’m almost as bothered about Saturday in a ‘don’t want to lost to city’ way than I am ‘there’s a final to be played if we win’ way… if that makes sense.

The FA Cup is easily the trophy I’m least bothered about…. However….. don’t want to lost to City.

Same

The thought of them knocking us out in the semi, stealing the league by a point or two and then beating us in Paris is enough to make me want to give up football and go and live in a remote cabin somewhere for the rest of my days.

To be one of the best teams in the history of English football and have not that much to show for it. literally cant imagine how nerve wracking a CL Final against them would be.

If we were to win the lot, or even two then the same applies. It will never get any better than that. Ever.

I quite liked that VVD was talking about the mentality should we fail, that we go again next season. I dont see that as defeatist, I see that as being the mentality that might help us, we dont need this next 6 weeks built into anything more than it is. One game at a time.

If we had gone out the fa cup early doors as well as the nice rest, we've had 3 opportunities to go above city whilst they play the cup. United Tuesday could have put us 5 ahead.

Ali

TAA
Matip
VVD
Robbo

Fab
Thiago
Hendo

Salah
Mane
Diaz

I like that team and it would be great against any other opposition. However, we really struggled in midfield against City. They seemed to have an extra player. Fab, Thiago and Henderson were all over the place. It's never going to happen, but I'd be tempted to play

Fab
Henderson Thiago
Keita

Salah Mane

From seeing some of still images of citys press last week, I thought that formation and personal would best to counter it.

Starting as a false 9 Keita dropping into midfield, Fab into a back 3 when playing out from the back. Giving us a bit more security and options to bring it out. I'd leave Salah up top when defending and have the others do the work.

I almost don't want us to do it Saturday incase we get to the CL final against them.

Agree


I see that as supreme confidence. It is basically saying we are going to take the hits and keep coming at you.

We are the Michael Myers (not the Waynes World one) of footy.

They do have strength in depth in that position

[Charly]

I am going... and I am also dreading it.

Even if we go two up Ill be bricking it the whole time. It is like submitting yourself for torture . And yeah, who gives a **** about the FA cup. I just dont want to lose to those bumholes.

For anyone in Australia that wants to watch - get a 7 day trial of Paramount+ and watch the FA Cup semi final for free!

If we make the final, just sign up for a further trail under a new email address (and probably credit card number).

Remember to cancel!

City half?

Absolutely not, Block 238!

I think whatever happens we should bring on the Ox with a few minutes left and tell him to level as many of their players as possible before he gets red carded.
