Rich_D Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 The fact that Blues won at the weekend may spur some of the players on tonight and for the rest of the season. Love us to win and think we have a good chance. We will want revenge after the battering at Eastlands last time. Rather lose and then concentrate on the league as opposed to having another game in the way of a reply. Just my view though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammy Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Rather lose and then concentrate on the league as opposed to having another game in the way of a reply. Just my view though :shock: But we could go on to beat them in the replay and go on to lift the cup! I'd be happy with a draw tonight and don't think it would affect our premier status.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 take a draw and get them back to ours. i predict 1-0 city though, they'll sit deep, keep possession and score from a set piece, as our defending has been gash this season.

dbsboots Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Even I am feeling confident about this one. I don't know if that is absolute stupidity or not. Guess we'll see tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormandyVillan Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Rather lose and then concentrate on the league as opposed to having another game in the way of a reply. Just my view though So, logically: If it's 1-0 to City but we get a 94th minute penalty: you hope we miss If it's 1-1 but City get a 94th minute penalty: you hope they score Is that really true?

jebsen Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 With a relative secure place in the league, I hope GH really wants to win this. Problem is that the same applies for Mancini. Suspect they run all over us in the first 15-20 minutes. Not feeling very confident, but being a pessismist at least I won't be too disappointed..

If you look at the teams Mancini's put out in all of the rounds of the cup so far this season, you'll see he's really going for it. For that reason I expect us to put our strongest available side out tonight. Apparently Silva's back which is a huge bonus for us, we really missed him againt Fulham at the weekend and is a big reason we didn't take 3 points. Even still I'm filled with apprehension because this is City and we never miss an opportunity, to miss an opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_D Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Downing at LB? Only joking. Dunne and Clark will play CB as they are our only choices. If we get an injury, it may be interesting having to have Heskey at the back. Push comes to shove and Walker can be LB with NRC at RB. Delph, imo, will start at LB as there is no other option, unless Herd steps in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
