FA Cup 2022-23

mid-table championship team...would obviously have preferred at home

 

[paxtonwolf]

Yes. City/Chelsea v Oxford/Arsenal

 

[paxtonwolf]

Brighton v Liverpool/Wolves

2 more PL set to bite the dust

 

[Lilbaz]

I'll take that draw.

 

[Rorschach]

Yes. City/Chelsea v Oxford/Arsenal

Assuming an Oxford loss, having 2 of those 3 out is great.

 

[Kandi1977]

Though draw for Oxford, who will face City or Cheatski after they've knocked out arsenal.

 

[markysimmo]

Yes. City/Chelsea v Oxford/Arsenal

Pleased with that as 2 big PL teams will be out from the 3

 

[AdamB]

only 12 PL teams left in

At least 2 more going out in the 4th round

plus a few PL teams like Villa, West Ham and Leicester arent going brilliantly and have away games

Could feasibly end up with only half the last 16 being PL teams

 

[paxtonwolf]

That is as good as it could have been.

Liverpool 2 tough away ties on the bounce if they want to progress.

Big chance of us getting into the last 16 with only 2 of the Big guns left in it, probably both Mancs.

 

[paxtonwolf]

It does now mean that after the NLD we have 5 out of the next 6 away from home, and the home game being City

Yes, though we can probably rotate a few players and still expect to get through more often than not. That's the main thing which I'd hope for from a cup draw

 

[Grays_1890]

Honestly, the draw is working in our favour for one....Up you Spurs

If Liverpool bite the dust at either Brighton or Wolves, and the winners of City/Chelsea v Oxford/Arsenal play United in the last 16 it could get really interesting

 

[Glenda's Legs]

if only we had someone who could take free kicks like that

 

[Yiddo]

The offside rule is such bollox, the only reason he plays the ball there is because Salah is behind him

That rule has always been gonads, Salah is clearly involved in play due to forcing the defender to defend the ball.

 

[Rorschach]

Some freekick that.

 

[Kandi1977]

We might have. Just never going to see it as long as Kane is on the pitch.

 

[Kandi1977]

2-0 City. Game over

 

[billyiddo]

We might have. Just never going to see it as long as Kane is on the pitch.

Kane has not been taking all of our freekicks lately and didn't when Eriksen was here - if there was someone who fancied themselves as a specialist no reason to think they wouldn't be taking them

 

[Rorschach]

He should have saved that.
