The FA CUP Fifth Round - 15/16/17 February 2014 *** Spoilers ***

The big difference has been no Luiz in midfield. In the last match he really hassled City. Matic was excellent positionally, but it was Luiz who pressed city into errors. Tonight City have the more mobile midfield and it's showing.

Aye, and no Demichelis being completely **** for City :p.
 
Cor Chelsea were rubbish. I was expecting something from them 2nd half but they were about as toothless as we were against Liverpool in the leauge last week. Hopefully we can have the same reversal of performances.

lol, I heard they were all long distance but not about the Husky. Good result at orient as well. 5 point gap and game in hand over 3rd, 19 point gap to 7th.

Have you heard anything about Yennaris, doing well in training or anything, expected he'll play some games or just making up the numbers for the moment?

He started last week but came off early in the second half with a dead leg. The general consensus is that he may be a little lightweight and I imagine he'll likely feature from the bench for the remainder of the season. Our midfield was awesome today, so can't see McCormack moving from RB back to CM.

I think he'll bulk up, ultimately how much players use their strength varies greatly between first team and training. Given games he'll get stronger, it's really why so many youngsters, particularly from prem league(or other top league teams) seem a bit lightweight because... the best route into your managers good book and first team starts isn't to injure first team players :p

THis is usually Arsenal's problem we don't give them at least some games from 18-22 which is the crucial ages really to get some games and learn how to use your weight out on the pitch against a fully committed opposition doing the same thing.

I do hope over time he gets a chance, so many players who show promise who then have 2-3 waste of space years before finally getting to move on.
 
Well I don't think we will beat arsenal by the same margin I'm confident that we would at least get a draw, we press then like before we should get couple goals :)
 
Agger in for Toure should help our defence but Henderson will be a big loss. Flamini will make a big difference to their team but if they play a high line again we can put a few past them with good finishing.
 
Allen has big shoes to fill today. Not sure where the engine is going to come from. I expect them to have learnt from their humiliation and show some energy in the middle.
 
Disappointed no Kolo, was excited for his own goal.

Looking forward to this and just enjoying a football game, nice break from the league
