Well that's Newcastle, Everton, Burnley, West Ham and of course arse knocked out. Palace and Spurs tomorrow. Paddy Power have City as the favourites at 2/1, United as 2nd favourites at 7/2, Chelsea at 9/2 and Spurs at 15/2.
Our record in the FA Cup has been pretty embarrassing for a while tbh, we should have won more of these things than we have with the players we've had. Hopefully we'll be able to win it this year!
We'll probably end up with City, Chelsea or Spurs in the next round knowing our luck lol
Now we're playing positive, fast-paced attacking football again though we're scoring plenty of goals so I'm A LOT more confident than I ever was of beating those other big three sides under Maureen.
There's still a lot more work for Ollie and his team to do, particularly with regards to defending and general fitness, but they seem to be on top of things after a month and 10 days work so we should see improvements in those two things during the next few weeks I think.
And even if we lose a few and get knocked out of both Cup competitions that we're still in and don't get a top four place I still think that Ollie should get the permanent job. He's brought us back to playing like Manchester United for the first time since Giggsy took over as caretaker manager after Moyes got booted out and that's worth its weight in gold imo.
There's talk from a few people that we need a defender and right winger, and I agree with the former but there's no way that we need the latter with Rashford, Lukaku, Mata, Lingard, Sanchez and Martial there as well as the likes of Chong, Gomes and Greenwood coming through the ranks.
