FA Cup 24/25 | 4th round: 7th-11th February

Crap draw for us to be honest. I mean yeah it’s a home game but it’s yet another PL team when we really could’ve done with getting a lower league side to progress. Can see us getting done by them.
 
Tough draw but could have been worse. I wouldn’t fancy us to beat most teams but certainly not Brighton, Bournemouth or Newcastle
 
Our performances at home have been terrible for 2 months now so getting a PL side at Old Trafford (and from top half of table) isn't great. Got 3 weeks to improve home form or Fulham will get their revenge for 2023.

Great draw for City and Villa. Bournemouth favorites to beat Wolves at home and I'd say the same about Newcastle against Brighton, though that should be closer one. If we do get to last 8, hopefully we get a decent draw for a change. If not then it's mostly on Amorim for making us so poor at home.
 
If we had to get a Premiere league team not in the relegation zone, this is the one I wanted. Think we match up with them the best, though I will sweat the rest of the game when they inevitably bring in Traore in the last 1/2 hour.

Hopefully we can get a body or 2 back by the time this game comes around. Even if its just Evans in the short term, we'll probably be back to 2 games a week by then, and we're down Licha for the season.

Bloody hell.

It's just the same thing every year - people will probably still be saying we're "lucky" because two of our three games have been at home again (setting aside how sh*t our home form has been).

But once again all three ties against PL sides. We never get a City type run - Salford, Orient, now Plymouth. Every year at least one of the big teams gets easy draws like that in various rounds, while we're getting PL teams - occasionally championship sides - every bloody round.

Another tough game. It's winnable - if we start getting our act together at Old Trafford. But another one that's going to be 50-50 and is once again also very loseable.

Huh?! We literally played three lower sides last year -- Wigan, Newport County, and Coventry City. Two of them were not even in the championship! We won the fricken title off the back of that easy run, and you've already forgot!?

It wasn't three in a row, but big whoop. Likely City doesn't play more than three non-Prem sides this year even if they go all the way. I have to just laugh at posts like this.
 
This going to be tough. Any home fixture against any half decent team has been hard work for us so far under Ruben. Fulham would also be out looking for revenge after what transpired in a cup fixture couple of seasons back.
