I so hope we don’t blow it. We could have done so with the first leg though tbh Come on City, turn the magic on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 My worry is we seem to have a soft underbelly when it comes to big occasions. We've choked on several fronts this season when presented with a mental test. Villa will be absolutely up for this. We've got to step up, they will come out of the traps flying and try to overwhelm us in the opening exchanges. We've got to be smart, we know man for man we're better than them, they will try to use pure emotion and Grealish to overwhelm us, we need to remain calm, and catch them when we can. We turn up with wobbly knees we get beaten. I worry that we don't have the minerals to win a game like this, even though we should beat Villa every time we face them, but cup competitions are a different animal, I just hope we're ready for it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Eatfood Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 When the draw was made, I was glad we were away in the second leg. We'll have more space to play in tonight, Ndidi is back, we'll do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les-TA-Jon Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 In the first leg Villa and particularly Grealish were pretty adept at breaking up the play with tactical fouls and 'buying' cheap freekicks. I imagine they'll be even better at it with 'home' advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultrafox Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 The thought of this going to penalties is giving me heart palpitations already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 (edited) Its almost good that we don't have a single goal lead, as that way I'd be worried we would sit back and protect. Yes I am trying to put a positive spin on not winning the first leg. With it level we can treat it as a one off game, we are better than them in most areas so hopefully our quality will shine through but they will give it a good go I'm sure. I hope Brendan doesn't try and be too clever with playing back 3 etc in order to play Perez and Iheanacho centrally. Stick to 4231/433, Barnes could be the key with directness and pace. They've done ok since they've gone to back 3, lets not play into their hands by going through the middle. Ricardo and Barnes to do the damage on the wings. 3-1 win I reckon. Avoid penalties, feels like we've won too many recently and that's bound to change. Edited 28 January 2020 by RowlattsFox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack1993 Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 I keep making myself nervous by skipping over everything that's going for us and focusing on shite like this : "Each of the last six teams to draw the first leg of the League Cup semi-final at home have then gone on to be eliminated in the second leg." And now you can do the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverandEver Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 They’re a one man team. Just need to do a Pontus Kåmark job on Grealish. Having said that, their new striker is set to be unleashed on us tonight - hope we don’t give any gifts away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose2010 Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 I know there are no away goals but is there extra time if its a drew? I know there hasnt been any in previous rounds but is there any in the semis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, we will break that trend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cujek Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 Has the Ref been announced? cant find it anywhere. Hope it isnt someone that will put up with Grealish' ballerina impressions. if that kid put as much effort into playing football as he does play acting then he would be one hell of a player.
