Seeing as my last post did not attract controversy J will now go step further and instead if Coleman on the right use King so that we have pace on both flanks thus negating their adventurous defenders

Sorry just realised King is cup tied

That's true. This team is just incapable of attacking for any sustained period. Even when we do set up to attack, like Newcastle at home, we're no more effective with the ball and we just look weaker at the back.

Best chance of getting a result is a freak Allardycey 1-0 from our only corner.

No team has anything like an equal share of possession against City, even those that are hugely successful like United do it by being decent without the ball

(66% possession for City for NO goals against only 34% United for TWO goals)

You can't attack without the ball, if City have it most of the time you find another way. United had Harry Maguire marshalling a solid defence with Martial, Rashford and James ready to hit them with pace when they did actually get a look in. That proved more than enough.

To beat City you have to do it by being efficient and solid without the ball, you just won't get possession that often but when you do attack with pace.

Not really sure on that one Ring master, no problem with her sex, just that she has made some very poor decisions, couple at Goodison as well, mind you it would be incredible if these officials never made such mistakes. Can you see the day when she takes charge of a game, that would be something wouldn’t it.
 
Made a decision that I’m not even watching this, it will be pure torture with the inevitable outcome.
Nobody kid yourselves that we have a cat in hells chance of winning this game, just don’t do it to yourself and you will have a much better weekend.

not for me, she has been very good and been spot on so much more than the others, she actually does the odd game been a ref and is very good at that as well. off course the prem league etc is totally different
 

Positive vibes only (until it's clear during the game we can't win), magic of the cup and all that. Let's get our cardboard tin foil FA Cup templates out and shout the blue boys on from the comfort of our floors behind our sofas / curtains. We just need to set up to spoil their play rather than try and match them, and just hit them on the counter once we've frustrated them sufficiently enough.
COYB, a semi is at stake
