    Now I don't actually mind Romero, but I'd prefer Johnstone to get a go if we're going to rotate - for years we've been hearing that Johnstone has good potential and the club haven't seemed interested in selling him, so surely he needs to get a first team go at some stage before he retires?

    But of course I'd play De Gea - very apprehensive about making too many changes for this one.

    Johnstone is average. He should've started against Northampton
     
    Just be on the front foot and take the game to them, we are at home. Last time he picked his side thinking they would bring their fullbacks into the middle.
     
    Both teams aren't exactly in this best of places right now.
    City haven't won in 5 is it?
    Reckon it will be tight. Draw. 1-1

    Will there be a replay? Or is that FAcup only?

    When was the last time United won on penalties, again? Just curious.

    No clue.
    When was the last time you were involved in a penalty shootout?

    Still, a loss to either side is huge in terms of response from the media and backlash etc. A draw would be best but it's the cup so somebody has to win. I think the game will go the distance.

    League cup final vs spurs,09 I guess.

    After that we lost to Everton FA cup semi-09
    Sunderland-League cup semifinal 2013
    Middlesborough last season in league cup

    Lost to Boro last season I think. Before that was the dreadful shootout vs Sunderland in Moyes' season. We're shite at pens.

    Our record in shootouts is rubbish.

    2015/16: Middlesbrough League Cup Round of 16 - lost 3:1 on pens (Pereira scored while Rooney, Carrick and Young missed)
    2013/14: Sunderland League Cup Semi Final - lost 2:1 on penalties (Fletcher scored while Welbeck, Januzaj, Jones and Rafael missed)
    2009/10: Chelsea Community Shield - lost 4:1 on penalties (Carrick scored while Giggs and Evra missed)
    2008/09: Everton FA Cup Semi Final - lost 4:2 on penalties (Vidic and fecking Anderson scored while Berbatov and Rio missed)

    Then we won the League Cup final in 2008/09 against Spurs. Giggs, Tevez, Ronaldo and Anderson scored in 4:1 penalty win.
     
    City isnt in the best shape either. Let's smash them 5-0.

    I had too much coffee today.
     
    UNITED'S STARTING XI
    United: De Gea, Valencia, Rojo, Blind, Shaw, Carrick, Herrera, Rashford, Pogba, Mata, Ibrahimovic. Subs: Romero, Darmian, Fellaini, Schneiderlin, Lingard, Memphis, Young.

    Where has this boring football talk come from? We smashed Leicester, should have put loads past Stoke and then we set up to stifle Liverpool. We destroyed Fenerbache and then got hammered to Chelsea.

    I agree, we've been on an upward trajectory ever since that crap week. The world runs on a very short memory though, I guess thats the explanation.

    Ah. Was not aware of that. Crap. Okay.

    United to win in ET then.
    The reason why i think you'll win is because I think you have more to lose. Mourinho has been under more pressure than pep.
     
    City team confirmed
    No Aguero! Garcia starts!

    No Mkyhitariyan again. :lol:

    Too strong of a team imo. Some of the players should be rested for Saturday.
