Santiago. 1,500 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I personally have high hopes we can win. Something magical about the Fa Cup and wembly and it has worked in our favor and always pushed our players for top performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Gino 377 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Chicharito like Tevez seems to score for fun against Chelsea and I'm hoping Cech comes up with some great saves to deny Tevez the way he did Chichi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santiago. 1,500 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 We have big game players. City lack any true character and spine in comparrison to our domestic dominance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,959 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Silva was forced off late in Monday's 2-1 derby win over Manchester United and manager Roberto Mancini fears the Spaniard will not recover in time to face Chelsea at Wembley."I think it is a hamstring injury. Maybe it is not so bad but I don't think he will be ready for Chelsea," said the Italian. The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,492 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Same line-up as the Man Utd Replay. That is our most 'solid' XI imo. Ivanovic and Luiz have conceded just 2 goals in the 6 games they've paired up keeping 4 cleansheets including Man Utd and Man City. As good as Terry is, he'll be uncomfortable with forwards like Tevez and Aguero CechAzpilicueta Ivanovic Luiz BertrandMikel RamiresOscar Mata Hazard BaBench: Turnbull Terry, Cahill, Lampard, Moses, Marin, Torres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 One of those tits on talksport just said that Mata is good but Silva is just that bit special...BOLLOCKS! Mata has been head and shoulders above Silva this season. Strike and Rambo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic weeds 446 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Ba and Torres upfront maybe? a 442 is worth experimenting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Ba and Torres upfront maybe? a 442 is worth experimentingDon't see the point in this. Why should we play a formation that forces our two best players (Mata & Hazard) to play out of position just to accomodate a Torres-Ba partnership up front? Doesn't make much sense.

Ollie 4,400 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I just worry that our cup run has to end eventually. I remember Arsenal were in the Final of the FA Cup in 2001, 2002, 2003, Semi 2004 and Final again in 2005 winning 3 of them. This does seem the likely game for our run to end but i really hope not. We've had so much heartache in finals this season though and in later stages of tournaments so maybe we can use that as our own motivation, especially the Community Shield defeat to them in August. I'd love it if we won this FA Cup. I'd be in heaven if we won the Europa League and finished top 4 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Looking forward to it! Hopefully Silva will miss the game. City have been shit for most of the season. Sure, they won against United, but they practically live for games against them so it's not really a true showing of their current form and ability.We have a decent chance of going through and I can't wait to watch the game! Those twats get on my tits too fucking much...especially Tevez. Hopefully we will finally prevent him from scoring against us It would be great to hear Mancini after they are kicked out, come out and say, "Ittt iss FUTEEBAAALL" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I don't think it's about the line-up we put out but rather the mentality of the team. If we go in there to park the bus like we did in both games in the league, our chances will be very low. We need to attack City, fight for the midfield, not just hand it to them.

Mata has been head and shoulders above Silva this season.Its not even worth mentioning.Mata has been 20 times better then silva hell i will even say that this season's mata is better then last season's silva.Tbh as good a player silva is i find him a bit over rated.

Every game I have seen City lose this season, and particularly in the Champions League, the opposition have taken the game to them, pressed them hard and didn't allow them time and space on the ball. Three times we've played them this season and each time we have played on the back foot and have almost been afraid of them which is sad to watch.
