FA CUP 2020-2021

City is an awful draw like. The worst we could have got. As much as I’ve been impressed with our spirit the last two games we ain’t got want it takes to win a cup at the moment. Back in 95 there was only really Utd to be feared. If you went into game fearing Blackburn or Newcastle then you may as well of packed it in. Royle had Liverpools number in those times.

Spot on.

Knock off 4 of the "top 6" teams in successive rounds to win the cup?

IMO that's not happening. If we did it it'd be the best ever cup win in the club's history.

somebody has to and teams are now not relishing playing us. Unlikely granted, but I'm not giving up, stranger things have happened.

i noticed we beat man city 9-1 on 3rd September 1906, anyone on here go to that game?

Couldn’t get a ticket.

The more improved we become, the better the teams we will face

I would rather be having these types of matches instead of us getting knocked out in the 3rd round by an 'inferior' team

 

[Jim Hopper]

Just play them with confidence, pressure will be on City to win.

Whoever wins this cup is going to have to beat Man City so by getting a home tie we're in position A.

Maybe we'd be better off at the Etihad given our record!

You take one game at a time. City are massive favourites but we need to stop being so defeatist. They aren't invincible and they wouldn't have picked a trip to Goodison either.

Its over 5 weeks away so we can worry about it nearer the time. A lot can change in 5 weeks of football.

It's a cup game. Anything could happen (as we saw yesterday).

Plenty of games for them with champion league back... Confident of pushing these aside.

Ild like to have seen another team have to clear them out the way.

Our best chance was to avoid them and get minnows in the next round then prepare for 2 more big fights.

Nobody will be expecting us to win. They will have CL games and a League Cup Final and are hungry to get their title back.

There is a chance.

Put it this way lads, there's no way City weren't getting to the semis or the final so we'd have to play them anyway.

I'd much rather play them at Goodison rather than a big Wembley pitch where I think they'd rinse us tbh
