Bazly Posted 15 March 2021 Share Posted 15 March 2021 MU have been so lucky this season with opp players sent off and friendly refs and super helpful VAR. Even with all that rub they won't win anything so we might as well instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one hand I'm not bothered about the FA cup this year and if we were to get to the final and we not able to go would be a real gut plus I'd rather we not add to the schedule and concentrate on top 4. On the other hand my sheer hatred for the scum that is the king of all scum, its fans, its players, its whole club, the elitism, arrogance all of that makes me want to annihilate them with a passion! I'd love another 5 nil! I read this, or similar, a lot here,as if getting to the FA Cup final and having to watch it on tv is somehow worse than not getting to the final at all.

OntarioFox Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 I confess that at this stage, I would really rather the three points against these fvchers in our league fixture than progress here. That said, who says we have to choose? Let's smash 'em and win the cup. We've gone from mad fixture congestion to the luxury of a game a week overnight, and if yesterday is anything to go by the players will be that bit more raring to go for each game we do play. Sick of Man Utd. getting their way every time they kick a ball against us. Let's start their much-deserved decline. 3-1, Vardy, Iheanacho, Tavares. Obligatory ratface penalty for them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 I think they will exploit us, sadly. It will be a very tough game, but we can win. Rodgers needs to focus on McTominay. If we can nullify his attacking threat, and deal with the rest of their forwards, we should be solid defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would usually agree but the chance to beat these bar stewards and get to the Semi final of the cup in nearly 40 years would be fantastic. I'd still absolutely love us to win the cup even more than a top 4 personally as it's a trophy we've been so close to in over 70 years although I appreciate this won't be everyones view. Extra Time win for them on Thursday night, at least a couple of injuries would be ideal. Up for this one already - COYB 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 Obviously beating them in the league game would be vastly preferable, but I don't see winning both matches as mutually exclusive. Beat them once, shows you can beat them twice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange. I'm not sure why you think this is strange? For someone who is used to going to the stadium and enjoying what that brings and the first time in recent history we get to the FA cup final and we cannot go to Wembley and see our team from the stands? I guess if you are used to watching us on TV pre lockdown then you wouldn't notice anything different. But if you're used to going to the games then you'll get it.

Getting to the final with fans in attendance is obviously the preferred option but I'd rather win it, fans or not than not win it. A massive disappointment not to be able not attend though, the experience would be immense but it would still be winning the FA Cup. Isn't the FA Cup one of the test events for a number of fans to be attending? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I’d much rather be at the stadium,but surely it’s better to see your team in an FA cup final for the first time in over 50 years and have to watch it on tv than not get there at all. If we get knocked out but finish top 4, would you only want us to get to the final of that if you were guaranteed a ticket? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 I'll be honest, I'm pretty apathetic towards the FA Cup without fans. The thought of getting to a semi-final or final behind closed doors or with limited fans doesn't appeal to me. Maybe I'll get more excited if we make it that far. Top 4 should be the priority, not only from a financial and reputation perspective but also because we have a greater chance of enjoying those matches next season in the stadium. I know the two aren't mutually exclusive, but if we do get to the final that is two extra matches and also two league matches that need to be shifted to a mid week. We then go from playing 9 matches in 8 weeks to playing 11 matches in 8 weeks. With the injuries we have/had, that might prove to be an important factor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that puts me off slightly is the distraction of the semi finals and final as we approach the final few very tough league games. However, I still want us to beat them on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfoxes Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 Manure have a Tough trip to AC Milan on Thursday could go to Extra time ( Hopefully!!) we’ve got a nice week of rest recharging the batteries & a bit of training, Utd then have only 2 days to get over the Milan trip so hoping Utd have a few heavy legs a few injury problems the hobbit OGS will probably complain & whinge about the timing of the fixture following a tough European trip ??😂 Then hoping for a great win for the Foxes Sunday great performances all round by the lads !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy about them having let in an away goal. Will have to work harder now, hopefully Milan can either tire them out or even dishearten them by nicking it.

gurru991 Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 As a City fan since 1962 the FA Cup still has a huge importance for me & beating Manchester U on the way to winning the Cup would be the icing on the cake. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxinNotts Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 I feel that we should, should, be able to take the momentum into this game. Keep it the same in terms of formation and tactics (maybe rest Ricardo for Marc). it was so encouraging to see our front three click against Sheff Utd, albeit only Sheffield United.

HybridFox Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 (edited) Let's not repeat the mistake of Europa League and go with the strongest team available. Would have had a whole week off whereas United play again midweek. Personally, I wouldn't change anything from the team that started at the weekend Tavares and Praet if fit can be options from the bench Edited 16 March 2021 by TK95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
