***Luton v Treble Winners FA Cup Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

Cup game tonight. No replay. Extra time and penalties if required to determine the result

Imagine both sides will rotate given the PL is a priority for both parties albeit for different reasons. And our squad is better than theirs. Shitty ground and facilities but we won there in December so have experienced what Luton have to offer

Think we will progress

A tentative 2-0 as the side chosen may well result in a different prediction!!!

Come on Jack!!

Come on Jack!!

Saw a piece on thw beeb wirh them highlighting that Pep has had a bit of a go at him. Imagine he will play tonight with the red shite up next

[sheblue]

Come on Jack!!

Don't faint if he's named in the lineup

[Indianablue]

Ever the optimist, i can see us going out tonight. 2-1 to Luton

Pep will fuck about with the team and formation as i really don't think he wants an FA Cup run .

If he didn't want an FA Cup run i think we might have seen a different team at Tottenham.

[blues2win]

Pep wants a win but he certainly won’t play anything like a first 11.

[Original Dub]

If a manager didn't want a cup run, surely he'd want out early, rather than after beating our bogey side on their turf

I think his attitude is if we win great, if we don't ah well cant win them all. He'd take a win but he's not arsed . His priorities are the Prem and CL.

[Original Dub]

I get your point, there's no doubt he'd take the prem and champs league over the fa cup and we'd all agree I'm sure.

I also just think that with this long unbeaten run about to bring us into a really bogey, season defining march, he won't want Luton to bring it to an end.

I certainly hope not anyway.

A win tonight will set us up nicely.

Come on city !!!

He'd take the PL and CL every year as priorities but we've not lost an FA Cup match outside Wembley for years.
Quarter Final here we come.

COME ON CITY

[CTID Hants]

Your City squad tonight!

SUBS | Ederson, Dias, Doku, Rodrigo, Alvarez, Gomez, Foden, Bobb, Lewis

[Mase]

A shame for Bobb and Lewis.

[sheblue]

It would be nice to win a game without Rodri.
Here's hoping.

[Sparklehorse]

With the exception of Nunes, that’s a good line up. I’ve lost my patience with him, he’s lazy, doesn’t look for the ball and is not dynamic in any way. Now prove me wrong !!!!

[nottsblue]

Manchester City's last eight games in the FA Cup:

Tottenham (away) W 1-0

Huddersfield (home) W 5-0

Man Utd (Wembley) W 2-1

Sheff Utd (Wembley) W 3-0

Burnley (home) W 6-0

Bristol City (away) W 3-0

Arsenal (home) W 1-0

Chelsea (home) W 4-0

Only the dogshit penalty that never was in the final last year is the only goal we’ve conceded in the run

Fuck me, was not expecting that line up.

Be very surprised to not go through to be honest

[salford city]

A shame for Bobb and Lewis.

Agreed. I had them both starting. Expect to see them both at some point tonight. Strong lineup

I would have thought Bobb was nailed on to start. Pep eh.
