Hollyfox Posted 14 March 2021 Share Posted 14 March 2021 Utd don't really have bad players. We'll have to play very well and convert a much higher proportion of our chances than we did today. They'll have to go strong, which is a huge compliment to us and shows how far we've come. It'll be close but we're more than capable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw Dykes Posted 14 March 2021 Share Posted 14 March 2021 Normally, I'd much prefer a flat back 4, but I think 3 at the back allows us to get more of our best available players in currently. I think Perez is much better as a no.10. A back 4 with him in the team would mean putting him wide or dropping Nacho/Vardy or playing one of them out of position. I'd keep the same team as today. Hopefully, the bench will be a bit stronger, with Praet added to it. Vardy Nacho Perez Castagne Tielemans Ndidi Ricardo Soyuncu Evans Fofana Kasper Subs: Ward, Amartey, Fuchs, Thomas, Mendy, Hamza, Tavares/Leshabela, Praet, Albrighton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeg67 Posted 14 March 2021 Share Posted 14 March 2021 I don’t really care that much about this competition and even I’d go full strength here. A week off before (coming off our easiest game of the season), two weeks after. Just field the best 11 you have healthy and go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tom27111 Posted 14 March 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted 14 March 2021 (edited) When I was about 12, in the early 90's, sat in the Double Decker, week in, week out, mainly watching shite, I wanted 2 things in life. 1. To see Leicester City in the top division. 2. To see Leicester City win the FA Cup. I thought that would be the best it could ever get. I was wrong. But I still want the FA Cup to complete the full set. Please, please, please beat these. I was 2 the last time we reached even a semi-final in this competition. We last reached a final 10 years before I was born and my 69 year old dad was there, at Wembley, as a 17 year old kid. I've seen Sunderland, Millwall, Cardiff, Portsmouth and Wigan reach the final, thinking "why not us?" I want to be in tears singing 'Abide With Me' before kick-off. We've arguably got the best team we've ever had. Let's fvcking do this. Edited 14 March 2021 by tom27111 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeg67 Posted 15 March 2021 Share Posted 15 March 2021 (edited) Obviously MC will win this but you still have a 2/3 shot at missing them in the semis if you get through. And if we get really lucky we could even miss Chelski (who we could certainly beat on a good day). If the schedule crunch around this match were worse that'd be one thing, but it comes at a perfect time for us to have a go.

Man City have the league wrapped up, they will be aiming for a CL win at all costs. Potential for Pep to mess up one of the FA Cup games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Fox Posted 15 March 2021 Share Posted 15 March 2021 After watching Sheff United on the weekend, I really can’t see them putting up any sort of fight against Chelsea. Man City Everton will depend on which XI both teams put out, but can’t see Everton upsetting Man City without all of their best players. We win this and get a lucky draw against Southampton or Bournemouth and play Chelsea in the final! It’s out year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 15 March 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 15 March 2021 Just when you are convinced 3 at the back will never work because of how vulnerable and pedestrian we can look, the 3 up top play like that and it's about how we get the best combination in the attacking areas. We can't really get those 3 playing in their favoured positions without going 3-4-1-2. We could play the diamond but we've looked whiffy in that system as well at times. I'd stick with the same team but probably Albrighton for Ricardo, or put Thomas in and Castagne on the right. We have all slated Perez in the past but whenever he plays as a 10 in behind he looks infinitely better and scores and assists way more often. We have every chance of getting to the semi finals here, let's go and lay down a marker on them and tell them we're taking 2nd spot off them too the moaning, orrible bastards. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buce Posted 15 March 2021 Share Posted 15 March 2021 Sometimes when I awake I ponder on such things as the meaning of life. Today I'm finding myself wondering what the fvck is a threadup? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guvnor Posted 15 March 2021 Share Posted 15 March 2021 Perez was given the opportunity to play his preferred position and prove his point, he did that imo. Has to be Nacho, Vardy, Perez again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigstonWanderer Posted 15 March 2021 Share Posted 15 March 2021 (edited) Ricky doesn’t look quite the same since he came back from his ACL injury. Might be his hamstring issue, or might be a bit of a mental/confidence issue - hardly surprising with such a horrible injury. If there’s any doubt on fitness, better to leave him to recovery fully, otherwise give him at least some playing time (as we are have been doing).

I am inclined to agree, but he will not be afforded the luxury of that time and space to operate against any other team in the Premier League or any of our remaining fixtures.

An Away Move Posted 15 March 2021 Share Posted 15 March 2021 (edited) I just hope we don’t set up like Spurs or West Ham and offer them too much respect. It’s about time we showed them less and put a stake in the ground. Their defence is not as good as ours. Let’s get at them.

It's quite common to get hamstring issues after having an ACL operation. Isn't it because they use some of the hamstring to repair the knee ligament?
