Some people are way too overconfident.

We were the best team in the world when we played Everton in the 2009 semi, they had a worst squad than they do now and they still somehow managed to beat us.

Both managers under big pressure, neither can afford to lose as a sack is likely to follow.

[–]digitagCarrick 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah we're definitely firm favourites for this one. Given the trends of the last couple of seasons that makes me scared.

[–]D1794Viva Ronaldo[S] 9ポイント10ポイント  (2子コメント)

Everton's defence absolutely ravaged by injury and suspension.

Other Semi final is Watford vs Palace.

[–]pearlz176The Ginger Prince 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

Stones, Jagielka and Baines are expected to be fit for the game.

[–]doesnt_like_pantsHerrera 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Jagielka is the one I'm worried about being fit. He's the glue that holds their otherwise shite defence together. Stones has been very poor lately and Baines is past it.

[–]yiyiyiyiHerrera 12ポイント13ポイント  (4子コメント)

The idea that we should win this easily is making me think we're going to lose. Surely Everton can't be so bad again despite their injuries. Van Gaal's reign is basically a cycle of good results follow by a big letdown.

[–]D1794Viva Ronaldo[S] 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yes, confidence is too high and we're due a crash back to earth.

[–]DarmianLVG 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

The confidence of fans hardly affects the players though. It's the manager who needs to keep them focused, not us.

[–]Rolling_TomassiShaw 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think he means from a rational point of view. Just sod's law and all that.

[–]jbiresqHerrera 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Our record at the new Wembley in the FA Cup is pretty shit. Even in the League Cup it hasn't been great. Spurs was 0-0 and against Villa there was an argument Vidic should have gotten a red early on.

EDIT: Also the CL Final but that was more facing the greatest team ever.

[–]themajesticahad 3ポイント4ポイント  (5子コメント)

Has Rojo been injured or just dropped for Darmian at LB?

[–]ibelieve616 7ポイント8ポイント  (3子コメント)

I think just dropped. Rojo has looked suspect since coming back and Darmian was great against Palace so I don't see that changing.

[–]themajesticahad -2ポイント-1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Sad situation, then. I wonder if we may have seen the last of Rojo in a red shirt. We will have too many players capable at LB for him to get in the team next season. He did have a run of good performances at LCB before getting injured last season but we're likely to buy a new CB this summer.

[–]ibelieve616 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think there's a future for him at LCB. Blind's performances there this season have been excellent and I'm sure we're bringing in another CB this summer, but I think he can be a strong rotational player.

[–]Shadowbanned24601Formerly /u/colmshan1990 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Surely not.

We're short on defensive cover, can't see one of the senior players there being allowed to leave in the summer, especially when he can cover two positions.

[–]dededogMartial 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

He was injured but I believe he's fit and dropped not so much for his form but just that Valencia and Darmian have been playing well of late.

[–]CryoSunMartial 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

What does everyone think about a midfield 3 of Schniederlin, Fosu-Mensah and Rooney? Or Carrick, Fosu-Mensa & Rooney. Every bit of info I've ever watched about Fosu-Mensa says his best position is a box-to-box or D-midfielder. I'd like to see him there.

Basically:

-----------------------de Gea--------------------

----Tony-------Smalling---Blind-----Darmian---

--------------------Schneiderlin-------------------

----------Fosu-Mensah--------Rooney-----------

-------Lingard-------Rashford------Martial------

Everton form - LLDDDL

Worst form all season.. Cmon lads !

[–]iSubyPereira 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

2 games away from a FA Cup, been a long time coming

[–]JMusselsRooney 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

This should probably be a separate thread, but hypothetically, if United were to win the FA Cup and (Lord forbid) finish 5th, do you think Van Gaal deserves another season at Man Utd? What if United were to lose either FA Cup match, but finish in the top 4. What do you think would happen?

WE'RE ON THE MARCH WITH LOUIS' ARMY, WE'RE ALL GOING TO WINGS FOR TEA

[–]Crusty_Gammon_Flaps 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Everton have quite a few players out right now and they have also been pretty shit lately do I think we have a good chance of winning.

[–]DevilxAceRooney 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm hoping we play a 4-3-3 again. I don't want to see two DMs this time around! Also, a defence-less Everton would mean we could score 2-3!

[–]House_Of_LannisterLVG -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Seeing the worst Everton display I've ever seen on Wednesday, and how it gave the impression after 3-0 down and a red card - the players looked fed up and IMO looked like they were making a statement towards the manager.

They're in a shambles right now and i fully expect us to take full advantage of that. Can't see anything else but a win tomorrow and hopefully, a very nice comfortable win.

[–]number7legendsScholes -2ポイント-1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Everton are 0W 3L 3D since beating chelsea in the last round. They don't look to be playing for Martinez at all

[–]phrunkSAF 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Maybe, but they'll play for a cup final.

[–]KisomiScholes -3ポイント-2ポイント  (2子コメント)

just a heads up, you forgot to change

"Team news: No fresh injuries from Palace."

[–]D1794Viva Ronaldo[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

?

We have no fresh injuries from the Palace game.

[–]Rolling_TomassiShaw 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think he misunderstood that as you writing that palace have no fresh injuries.
