View from the Home End...FA Cup edition
Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2023 9:16 pmSorry, its bare bones again for this one. As usual with these games the home fans spend a lot of time discussing ticket allocation. On the plus side there are no real negative comments about City, plus it will be a VAR free evening.
COME ON CITY !!!
Referee: Andre Marriner
Assistant referees: Adam Nunn and Sam Lewis
Fourth official: James Linington
Team Selection
O'Leary; Tanner, Vyner, Kalas, Pring; James, Williams; Sykes, Scott, Bell; Wells
And the rest...
Brilliant draw for us
At least City have been playing full strength teams, so all the stars should be on show. Will be amazing to see Haaland live to be fair. Lets hope we can find a performance like last time we played them, 2 of my favourite ever games watching City
If it was any other team in the Prem I would have said we have a chance, but I just don’t see it. Just want to give them a game, I do think we will score however I’m going with a 4-1 defeat.
I expect a 4-5-1. Defending in numbers . But to me the key is when we get the ball we have to hit at pace in numbers . We have the pace. Play forward through Scotty who has to find those pin point balls to our forwards. We not got much of a chance . But we do have a chance. It's the FA cup shocks do happen.
Have fun to meet one of the best team in the world. We have nothing to lose.
So long as we give them a game and not sit back.....losing by 3 or less would be a decent result imo.
Special occasion tomorrow night for the club. We have beaten Chelsea and Liverpool in years gone by in the FA Cup and it’s created fantastic memories, will tomorrow night be another. It will be extremely difficult. But enjoy it ladies and gentlemen, these moments are very few and far between.
