The FA Cup 2018 Thread
« on: January 07, 2017, 03:07:41 AM »
Thought someone had better start one seeing as the Third Round is starting tomorrow ;D

Maureen will probably field a weakened side tomorrow at home against Reading. De Gea is being rested and the Roonster is back from his thigh injury. Am expecting Zlatan to be given a rest too. No Schneiderlin or Memphis either apparently due to them being expected to leave the club this transfer window.

My predicted lineup:

Romero

Fosu-Mensa Smalling Tuanzebe Darmian

Basti Fellaini

Lingard Roonster Young

Rashford

Will probably be miles off though lol ;D

Yup, I was miles off lmfao, although Fosu-Mensah and Basti did make substitute appearances.

An easy win for United as expected, the Roonster equalled Bobby Charlton's goalscoring record with the first goal then Martial scored number 2 and Rashford got the last 2.

4-0 final score. ;D

5 Premiership knocked out this round so far and arse are a goal behind to Preston. Hope the dodgy fuckers get hammered lol ;D ;D ;D

Could be a difficult derby match for United this afternoon. Plenty of changes from the last match:

Romero

Young Smalling Rojo Darmian

Herrera Carrick

Lingard Micki Martial

Rashford

Subs: Henderson, Bailly, Shaw, Basti, Pogba, Mata, Zlatan


We're going to see more squad rotation as the season goes on if we can remain in the FA Cup and Europa League until those finals but we've got arguably the strongest squad in English football so it shouldn't be a problem hopefully. Henderson aside that bench this afternoon is crazy  :o

1-1 at halftime and both sides deserve to go in even. It's been a great match so far, very entertaining.

Hopefully with our fixtures piling up we won't have to have a replay, I'd rather get knocked out than have another fixture to add to our list. :-\ :o :-\

An outstanding ball from Pogba and a sublime finish from Zlatan puts United 1-2 up. Still plenty of time to go yet though, 13 minutes plus injury time.

1-2 final score, outstanding defending from Rovers at times and they certainly created a good few chances. They probably did enough to deserve a replay but that's football. Another couple of good substitutions from Maureen too. Love him or hate him he does tend to get these decisions right.

The draw is in 15 minutes. ;D

Rashford had a poor game today, I'm convinced that he isn't suited to playing up front on his own. He either needs to play as a winger or in partnership with another forward. Today though his passing and first touch were bloody awful. :o

My prediction is Chelsea away in the next round. 8)

Still can't believe that we haven't successfully defended the Cup yet though, although we came close to winning 3 on the trot between 94 and 96, only to get beat by Everton in the Final in 95.

Well we'll have to wait and see. United are playing some decent football since November and we have Zlatan. 8)

United could be up for a Cup Treble and a top four finish with a bit of luck :P
