Man City (N) - FAC Semi Final, Sat 16th Apr 2022 (3:30pm)

[3 Stacks]

It's a rotated, beatable City team, but there's still enough talent in there to hurt us. Plus, their bench is strong.

Im hoping De Bruyne is just there for show really, if he was fit he'd be playing.

That's probably our slowest midfield we can put out. I hope we are setting up to play a little bit more on the counter here

It will also give us a lot more breaks given Keita's ability to win the ball. Foden ran rings around Hendo last time out, so was the obvious change (along with bringing Bobby into the side).

[niallers]

Their front 5 is still very good. Just concentrate on no silly errors and not giving them any help in creating chances. 

[Bjornebye]

I just hope we can defend them throws if he chucks Delap on 

[gkmacca]

We especially need a really pacy and intense first 20 minutes or so. Don't let them settle into their usual groove.

[magicrat]

Not surprised Matip on the bench . 

[magicrat]

That fucking Arsehole Richards is guaranteed to talk non stop shite . 

[waddy78]

How come we have that jibbering fucker Micah Richards on BBC ? i thought that cunt was only on BT.

Ha. But speaking of 'that sort of thing...': Weird that Gomez seems to have stopped using his long throw since he came back. Our throw-in coach singled him out as the most improved at the job -

 

Quote

What makes him a good thrower, he had learned most of the things I wanted to teach him about technique very seriously; he’s taken the training seriously. You know, you can say that he has good technique now, but we are still trying to improve him even more, he’s a good player, he has some fast muscles when he’s running against strikers, he’s very fast but also very flexible. With Joe, it’s good technique but also a good physique. He can throw very hard but he can also throw far, it’s very difficult to defend against because he can throw very dangerously to the far post: that’s a big area you have to defend. Joe’s throw is very dangerous because of the constant threat.

It would've been his 3rd straight game. We avoid doing that.

Micah Richards will get where water can't.

They often say people are full of shit, but this bulbous bufoon really LOOKS like he is. He looks like the Mr Creosote of shit opinions.

I like Shearer as a pundit but Richards and Murphy really are shite. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Anybody been watching the LFC TV build up would've seen the massive City flag taking up a few sections of the upper tier, because the fucking soft cunts failed to sell out their ticket allocation.

 

Pathetic oil cheats.

Richards Murphy - so close to being a naff electrical goods combo.

 

It's fair to say the bluebird of happiness has never perched on poor Murphy's shoulder. Even Scotsmen find him somewhat dour.

His missus is tidy tho.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Just tear into the bastards, use our pace and pressing up front to terrorise them.

 

Midfield, just keep it tight, contest everything and win those 2nd balls.

 

Big Virg and Konate to bully them from set pieces.

 

Come on Red men, let's win this convincingly in 90.

Well, she has to have something to do.

[Chairman Meow]

"High line" is the current equivalent of all the bullshit pundits spouted about zonal marking under Rafa.

 

They waffle on about it all the time, while failing to actually accept that our defensive record is really good. 

 

 

[halewood pete]

Am I alone in thinking Danny Murphy has an uncanny resemblance to uncle fester ?

[magicrat]

Foden worries me more than any of the others. Not just the fact he looks like he steals bikes on his day off.

It’s a long travel after all for their supporters, all the way from Abu Dhabi.

Grealish looks like a Philly Burkhill drawing of David Beckham.
