Sam3773 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Five games unbeaten in all competitions and we've come up against Man City. A win or a draw here would keep the confidence up and hopefully let us push on a bit more in the PL on Tuesday. It's a funny old game, football. Never know what may happen with the wind behind us. Downhill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Not too fussed about this but a win or a spirited draw can be an immense confidence boost. Imagine going into the West Ham game 6 games unbeaten having knocked out City out of the cup and possibly a new star striker? Could be just the shot in the arm we need to save our season. If we lose it's not really a big deal either unless we get destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Over forty years been a fan of this club. I give a **** about every result, friendly, cup, league, every game we have played in. Add to that the fact that I am so desperate for us to win the FA Cup and have been since I was a kid. To see us win the FA CUP at Wembley immense. So bearing that in mind you'll understand how strange it is for me to say I could not actually give two **** about this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 A solid performance will do for me. Bunn Bacuna/Richards - Okore - Lescott - Cissohko Lyden - Sanchez - Gana Vertout - Ayew Kozak subs any of GK - No Guzan Richards/Bacuna Clark Westwood Gil Sellers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2016 I doubt we'll win. I'm not really too bothered. There's a chance that City won't turn up and be more focused on the league, but even then it will be a big ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyvilla Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 No sure what to make of the decision to give man city the whole north and leave the away end empty , strange decision to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Not really sure how strong of a lineup we should put out but hopefully lyden gets a start again. Really need a young guy to come through and this would be a big match to see how he handles the pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Bit of a freebie really. Great if we win, though zero expectation, and there are bigger fish to fry so no particular downer if we lose. No injuries is the probably most important thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 26, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2016 This is a free hit as they say. It's possible that Citeh won't take it 100% seriously, so in that sense whether it be down to team selection, motivation or both, we have more of a sniff here than if it was a league game. I say use the full team and see what happens. If they can somehow maintain an unbeaten run or better, progress, then it could be a great fillip for the rest of the season. If we go out then we were expected to anyway. It's like the anti-Wycombe game. And as we've seen over and over again this season, Man City really do fail to show up quite often these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Their 3rd string side would comfortably beat us. And on that basis. We're out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 26, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2016 On that basis we would be out, but football doesn't work like that. Especially given the way this particular collection of superstars are sitting 3rd in the league having just laboured to a draw with West Ham. Add in the fact that it's a cup (and they'll hopefully rest Aguero ...) and I don't think it's quite the foregone conclusion that it would be. Obviously we're still hooj outsiders. That goes without saying. But stranger things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I think we'll win this and the whole competition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 They will make a load of changes and struggle for an hour before bringing aguero on and heading back up the m6 with a 2-0 win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 No idea what to do for the best in this one. Maybe play a Freaks & Rejects XI like against Wycombe and just take the loss. Definitely need to rest Ayew though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
