***City v Dippers FA Cup Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

Early KO 12.45 for this one

Can we keep our record breaking run of semi final visits intact? Some to a few dipper mates this week and none were confident of going through.

Not so sure myself. I always hate games against these even though we have a good record at the Etihad against them. Hopefully we go full strength as we have no CL distractions in the offing.

Only Stones, rather predictably, picked up a knock on international duty I believe, so we have pretty much a full squad to choose from.

2-1 Silva Doku

What! John Stones is injured

Alisson being injured is a bonus, he is a top keeper and that will certainly impact their confidence at the back.

I fucking hate these twats. We're in Benalmadena with my Ma. Going to find an Irish bar ro watch it with the plastic scousers. No fucking around, Pep. Full team out.

Plus they have PSG away on Tuesday.

We are favourites at the bookies

[Indianablue]

Hopefully our Cup final win will give us confidence to beat them

[Kippax Sean]

Confident we'll score 3 or 4 today. I don't think it'll be as intense as other recent encounters and we'll control the game. Add a little showboating and a worldy into the mix for good measure. Come on you Blues.

I am oddly confident tonight and this season repeated false dawns has normally made me overly cautious.

Queue Pep playing Erling as a left back and no midfielders.

It’ll be all over by tonight.

One way or another. I'll relax tomorrow

[CBEM]

Quote me on this.

We will crush these bus chasing halfwits 4-1 today and life will be good.

COME ON CITY

[Sparklehorse]

Very happy with that side. Come on boys.

[zuricity]

I think Scouse2 will be concentrating on the cash cow that is the CL today. City must go at them from the off.

[stevefromdonny]

COME ON CITY

[carl_feedthegoat]

Perfect starting 11
Told you all Khus should be the first choice and isn’t a fucking ‘one for the future ‘ player - he’s the best defender we have and there should be no debate about it.

[Mase]

Strong team that. No complaints

J. Trafford
N. O'Reilly
M. Guéhi
A. Khusanov
Matheus Nunes
Bernardo Silva (c), Captain
