SteV Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Unpopular theory, but to win it you likely have to beat one, if not both, of Man City or Liverpool, and our best chance of doing so is at SJP rather than Wembley, so a HOME draw to either might not be the worst thing. Still take Coventry with them playing each other like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Man City away. Days of rightfully bigging them up, pointing out how difficult it will be and how the scoreline will be 3 or 4 to nil. Which is the norm these days when playing City. Only to be followed after the match with cries of "embarssing" as they go onto do what was expected of them.

Still take Coventry with them playing each other like. This is what I was thinking. However, at the moment, I don’t fancy us against anyone let alone one of those. Maybe playing one of them at Wembley with everyone back (including big Jow) could be better? Fuck knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Some tough games no matter what way you look at it. Home draw is massive. I’d take home to anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I’d take Liverpool at home right now, they’ve got loads of injuries and we should be able to beat the team they put on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let them draw each other, hope they get say Man Utd or Chelsea in the Semi who we know we're capable of beating, but are capable of upsetting Liverpool or Man City themselves.

If we’re doing ideal scenarios, then yeah, I think we’d all take that. Outside of that though, I genuinely don’t think getting one of them at home is the worst thing. Getting one of them away is an absolute disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 At the moment we need an easy draw or we'll most likely lose. I would take the easiest possible draw until we find some better performances in general. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggys First Goal Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Dream would be Coventry. But you know for a fact the first ball out will be 8 and the second ball out will be 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only two and a half weeks until the QF, so probably unrealistic to expect we’d have improved enough to beat Man City, even at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I don't think we'll get Liverpool, Klopp's final domestic game at Wembley is written in the stars. It will be Coventry away or Chelsea home I reckon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I honestly don't care who we get. If we're going to win this we'll need to see off one or two of the sky six. Even if it's only 2 and a half weeks away, as dodgy as we've been looking I am never surprised when we pull a random cracking performance out of our arse. We'll either manage it or we won't.

TRC Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Seems silly to have the draw before the games, if Man U get City away is it not best to just lose against Forest then tanked off their rivals? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouldy_uk Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I don’t subscribe to the ‘it doesn’t matter who we get we have to beat the big teams at some point’ theory. Sod that, give us an easy passage now whilst we are playing shit and then maybe we can spring a surprise later on when we are more likely to get a big team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
