Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted March 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2020 "Any team news,Stubbs?" "Really,Sir?" "Yes really. Why ever not?" "Well, is there any point,Sir?" "What do you mean is there any point?! Of course there's a point! This is a big game,I want to know who's in the side." "Well the early indicators are that Wednesday will be playing a 5-4-1 and...and... uhm, heh, heh,heh," "And what? Spit it out man!" "Trying to keep it tight. Heh...heheheheh." "Well what's so funny about that?" "Keep it tight,Sir? You cant keep it tight against Barnsley or Luton who are going to be in the third division next season. Never mind the Champions of England with a billion pound squad and the best manager in World Football!" "Blimey Stubbs, what ever happened to the old 'anything can happen' spirit. You know, the 'it's eleven against eleven'?" "It vanished a long time ago, Sir, along with the Policeman on the white horse." "Ah yes. The old days. When the Cup actually meant something and teams went out Gung-ho. Five forwards! None of this clogging it up at the back jobby. Yes, the glory days of the Cup. In fact that's what we should do! Go out all guns blazing old school style! Don't you think?" Dawson Iorfa Borner Palmer Lee Bannan Murphy Da Cruz Nuhiu Forestieri Harris "I think you should leave the brandy alone, Sir. With the best will in the World, there's no way you can win this game." "Of course we can! That's the beauty of the Cup,Stubbs. You just need a little bit of luck, a bit of gung-ho, a drop of the ball, and anything can happen. We can get a result here. Crack on. Crack on with the match facts!" "Very well,Sir" --------------------------------- SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY -V- MANCHESTER CITY The FA Cup Wednesday 4th March Kick off : 19:45pm Owlerton THE TEAM NEWS --------------------------------- Wednesday Boss Garry Monk is unlikely to go back to a 2-3-5 formation in a nod to the glory age of the cup and will likely flood the defence or midfield areas. He will have to do this without Connor Wickham and Josh Windass as they are cup tied . Massimo Luongo is currently missing on planet Almen Abdi . Steven Fletcher was withdrawn against Derby with a tight hamstring and may be rested. Adam Reach is still struggling with a toe injury. Westwood and Hutchinson ..well..you know the rest. Dawson Palmer Iorfa Lees Borner Fox Murphy Lee Bannan Harris Fletcher ----------------------------------------- MAN CITY City Boss Pep Guardiola -who once enquired about the Wednesday job and was told it was a skint basket-case of a club and to stay well away- has top scorer Sergio Aguero is fit despite being forced off in the Carabao Cup final with a cut. Back-up goalkeeper Claudio Bravo will keep his place but long-term absentee Leroy Sane is not yet ready to return. . Bravo Cancelo Otamendi Stones Mendy Gundogan De Bruyne Foden Mahrez Jesus Silva. B MATCH FACTS (Look away now Owls fans this is your last chance) The Owls last reached the FA Cup quarter-finals in 1997 and have lost five successive fifth-round ties. City have never lost to a Championship side under Pep Guardiola. Wednesday went 63 years without facing the reigning FA Cup holders in the competition, but will now do so in back-to-back seasons; last year they lost 3-0 away to 2018 winners Chelsea in round four. Guardiola's side have won their last five FA Cup games against clubs from a lower division, scoring 22 goals in the process. Their last such defeat was the fifth-round loss to Wigan in 2018. The Owls have scored 16 goals at home this season, the lowest figure of any Championship club Gabriel Jesus has been directly involved in 11 goals in his eight FA Cup appearances (scoring seven and assisting four), including six in his last three (five goals and one assist). Wednesday's most recent victory against City was 3-1 in a Premier League game at Maine Road in November 1993. Bernardo Silva has four goals and four assists in his last nine FA Cup appearances. Wednesday have won just two of their last 13 league games. ------------------------------------------------------- "Sir? Sir? are you ok, Sir?"
