Look at the City team that started the League cup semi final and you get an idea of what they might do, its a very strong side though so it might change, the starting team that night was

Caballero
zabaleta Otamendi Demichelis Clichy
Fernandinho Toure
Delph Silva Sterling
Aguero

I'd say a few of that team would be rested for the FA cup but theyve got Navas that could come in, the young Nigerian thats got a few important goals and Fernandinhos carbon copy, Fernando.

Navas injured so hes a no go.Lads relax we are going to be fielding a young side,there not bad but Chelsea at home should beat us.
Iheanacho Celina Kolorov/clichy and Fernando inlcuding the keeper there 5/6 players to go from the U21s.

FA should be fined for devaluing the competition, City should not be in that position. We have often been in City's position in the past and it is really a nonsense.

Game should have been played Friday or Saturday, I imagine the BBC/BT/ITV or whoever is showing it, pushed for a Sunday game but it should have been taken into consideration for Citys UCL away game, had it being played today it would have been good time for us to come back for Paris and to allow City an extra days rest too.

Surely he could have at least make the bench. City have 5 players making their debut today

Well done on reaching the QF fellas (and ladies). Go easy on us though, eh; they're young lads, and they bruise easily.

BBC1.

It's not showing up on my Chanel listings, might have to do a rescan.

kev1.3s

It is too, sometimes the software needs a kick in the arse.

peteeeed

Very well worked goal

rottie 11

This is like a training match for us. You'd expect us to win comfortably in the 2nd half

cowboyBuilder

hahaha what a joke !!
blows the whistle before the corner ...

sick of this ref v Chelsea crap ..would have given another 2 mins if that was united or barca playing.

the game is rotten to the core.

I actually taught hazard looked ok today, not setting the world alight but at least he looks interested. Pedro looks to be having a ball alright.

rottie 11

Another assist for hazard

GET IN

duploelabs

peteeeed

He enjoyed that

HalloweenJack

Hazard, Fab and Pedro all looking very good today, Hazard the best I've seen him all season.

GavRedKing

I dont know what Guus is playing at not giving RLC game time over matic.

His contract still isnt sotted AFAIK and hes bern left on the bench with the game well and truly over.

Guus has no clue about the bench at times Im sure.

GavRedKing

Weve missed a penalty and 3 chances from a few yards out this game could and should have been 6 or 7 at this stage.

Still though, handy win and into the 6th round.

GavRedKing

Good hand from Tbo

peteeeed

What a header

GavRedKing

Great finish from Traore.

Hes a natural goal poacher.

GavRedKing

Shocking from Hazard again. Behind oscar.

Johner

Why bring Oscar and Matic on? Especially Oscar when he's going to stroll around half arsed, also a disgraceful penalty from him.

GavRedKing

Vesc is right in the interview, if hazard wants the peno he should take it

Hazard made the wrong decision at the end alright but it was at the end of his best performance of the season. Traore having a dream start to his senior career.

rottie 11

Disappointed not to see Rlc or Kennedy

Lukker-

Good game, nice tune up for the players.

Delighted for Traore, Hiddink has done wonders for him. It suits him playing through the middle far more.

The youth will get a chance in the league, people need patience.

There was no point playing oscar or matic over RLC though it was 4-1 and nothing to play for.

kev1.3s

I do agree that there is a time and a place for bringing on the youth but this was the time and the place in fairness. I suspect that Guus really wants to lift the FA cup.

Lukker-

Everton at goodison

Johner

Tough but winnable game.
