2018-19 FA Cup Thread

Looking forward to this weekend. Brighton has a nice draw and The Arsenal game should be fun.

Would also love to see Millwall go on a run after going to the den in the Fall, such a fun time!

Looks like Romero will start at keeper for United today. DeGea being rested for league play.

Not unusual as United have used Romero for cup games (and Europa) over the years.

 

[Jussi]

Who else!

That looked very tight on the offside, we'll see how it turns out.

 

[hatterson]

Nope, well on due to Maitland-Niles.

Not even close.

 

[hatterson]

Not even close.

Yea I was just looking at the central defenders.

 

[davemess]

Lovely pass from Lukaku

 

[Jussi]

Jesse! Lukaku 0+2 so far.

 

[hatterson]

What an excellent counter.

Shaw with some really great play out of the back to run that. So many times the FB would have just made a boring pass or boot that long.

2nd one was a little easier to make.

 

[The Abusement Park]

That’s bad from Koscielny...

If there ever was a case for secondary assists in football, that would be it. Without Shaw's work, that goal doesn't happen.

 

[YEM]

buhbye, Arse

 

[hatterson]

So VAR question. Let's say that Bailly play was a penalty, do the VAR officials stop the game to have the ref look at it if they think it's an obvious pen or does the game just keep going until the next stoppage and they review it then?

 

[Jussi]

Also credit to Sanchez for the classy celebration. Don Cherry would approve.

 

[hatterson]

Arsenal get one back. They were throwing a ton forward. Had 5 guys below the 6 yard box.

 

[Jussi]

Thanks for stopping your run, Pogba!

 

[Jussi]

I wouldn't be surprised if this went to a replay.

 

[hatterson]

Second half should be good.

 

[Jussi]

So that's about 5-6 minutes of guaranteed added time.

 

[hatterson]

Full 8 minute injury stoppage for the Koscielny injury, although Arsenal did two subs at the end of it. Could easily see 10 minutes of added time at the end of this game.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Lukaku...

 

[East Coast Bias]

Bring on Rashford and have him run the left side between Xhaka and Kolasanic

Him and Martial on for Sanchez and Lukaku. Going to be a busy half for Arsenal defenders.
