As it stands, excluding International breaks, we won't have had a full week off between games from the 13th September until the 14th February, if we finish in the play-off in the Champions League, which we are very likely to do, that date goes to the 4th March, and it'll be the 7th March if we make it to the 5th round of the FA Cup, and if we make it to the last 16 of the Champions League, it'll be the start of April Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 We've won five of our last six with that ref. One was the Spurs Carabao game where Schar scored from the corner when the guy had his boot off or whatever they were complaining about. Some defeats going further back, but also the 1-0 win against Man City in the Carabao in 23/24 It's an omen! https://www.transfermarkt.co.in/chris-kavanagh/bilanzdetail/schiedsrichter/6345/saison_id/0/wettbewerb_id//funktion/1/land_id/0/heim_gast//verein_id/762/plus/1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our fixtures have been a little fortunate in the sense we play other teams who also have hectic schedules, i.e Liverpool, City, Villa and Spurs. Might see some very dull games in those with players suffering from fatigue on both sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 It's understandable given the amount of big games we've played in in the last couple of years, and this intense period of home fixtures we're in right now, but it would have been hard to imagine just a few years ago that the excitement levels would be so tepid on the eve of a cup semi final. It will ramp up once inside the stadium I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the end of this month we'll have played 13 cup games so far. Mackems played two with most midweeks off! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenlau88210 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Tonali will probably start, although should probably be rested this game having played 120 mins. I don't mind seeing Bruno play number 6 with Ramsey and Joelinton in front of him. Ramsey in particular deserves more game time with his recent showing.

SiLvOR Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Realistically how many do we need to win by at this fixture in order to get through at the Etihad? 3? 4? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Don't think a draw would be a disaster tbh. Makes the second leg a one off game albeit away. Plus, last season we'd a horrid record at the Emirates going into the 1st leg at Arsenal. Low and behold... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't take a draw because I believe we can win at SJP and hold them down there, but you probably don't sniff at anything that keeps you in the tie. Also never doubt this team's ability to step up. Burn will be a loss, mind. Fucking injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 It’s an odd response regardless. But the bloke phrased the question terribly. Howe is clearly paying them a compliment about playing them over 2 legs and mentioned how they make slight tactical changes every game. The guy has made out like Howe said City change their style and tactics purely to combat us and specifically, Eddie Howe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
