🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2023/2024

[BitcoinAccepted]

At the moment there are 4 matches played in the FA Cup and all 4 matches are 0-0 on the scoreboard. Often matches at this stage of the cup are not interesting because the power differences are far apart. A lot has been said and written about Liverpool, but at home against Wolverhampton they should be able to win quite easily, wouldn't you say? I can't imagine that they would field a B team with the risk of running into another failure. If they lose tonight or are out, it could also have consequences for Klopp. I think Klopp is someone who would eventually leave himself, he will not wait for his dismissal. But I don't know how the Liverpool board sees working with Klopp.

Blackpool 4:1 Nottingham Forest

I was just checking through the livescores and I saw that Blackpool humiliated Nottingham by scoring goals upto 4. This is not a good record for the premier league side. I really can say that since Nottingham Forest was promoted, I cannot just understand them. Sometimes they will surprise us and win Liverpool and most times they will play rubbish.
How can they have upto 63% possession and 20 shots and end up being defeated?

In as much as Arsenal are the kings of the FA cup, they've got a lot on their plates this season with the league, Europa, and FA cup. They do not have the squad depth to manage all these competitions to the end. They need to be careful or players can get injured or fatigued or worst, they can lose all trophies and go trophy less this season. I really do not want that to happen to them because they have been pretty impressive this season. It's a good thing they are no more in the Carabao cup. I think they shouldn't pay much attention to the FA cup since they've won it multiple times and focus on the EPL which they haven't won in about 20 years and the Europa which they've never won before.

It will not be easy for arsenal to be playing three different competitions because I don't think arsenal have better players than those are first 11 squad playing in the premier league competition and with this, the club just need to focus on two out of the three competitions the arsenal team is playing which is premier league, europa, and FA cup or the club to signal better player very soon because it wouldn't be easy when like 2 players go for injury.the player can even easily get weak if their playing too enough competition. Watching arsenal matches in premier league is only hard for them to even sub.

With Arsenals current form, they may want to try retain their performance by using more B team players in their FA games, seeing that they have more trophies there compared to the EPL and Champions league in total.

Yes, as for now it is second squad I am expecting arsenal to use in their FA cup match that is coming against Oxford united, I don't think that Oxford united squad will better than those arsenal second squad.checking Oxford Utd record this season I discovered their not in good form in league one competition,infact team squad is weak  for being position at 15 in league one table.

I was checking the results and so far I thought all the big teams and by big I mean any team playing in the Premier League to have won against lower division teams,apparently I did miss this defeat of Nottingham Forest and I thought at maximum maybe they will end in a draw and win in the return leg because if draws here the game is replayed in the home field of the team playing away.

I think they were defeated as most probably they did not play with their best eleven and most probably because they took it to easy thinking that we can win again a team of a lower division easily yet the surprise happened and they are not of the FA cup because of losing to such a low division team.

Another surprise today in the fa cup. Sheffield Wednesday was able to win against Newcastle 2:1 and one of the top teams in the premier league is knocked out. Some incredible saves from Sheffield wednesday goalkeeper and they are third league tier and have just advance into next phase

[Docnaster]

It's going to be an exciting match between the city and Chelsea FC. Yesterday reports have it that Benoit Badiashile and David Datro Fofana has officially resumed training with the blue squad at Cobham, and may probably join the team in clash against Manchester city in the English FA cup competition today. These two addition will make Chelsea squad a bit more rounded than it was, and as such Chelsea may completely return to its winning ways at the arrival of all the injury players. Now that the club has an additional central attacker, let's see what their subsequent matches will yield.

I don’t understand why you felt that Ten Hag would not field a strong team, because he had already indicated that he wishes to win a trophy in his first season hence that was a clear indication that he would field a very strong team.

Because I think Erik wants to focus on the EPL so as not to get out of a safe position to qualify for the champions league. If to win the EPL trophy in our opinion is only their dream this season. Lol
In fact when beating Everton, Erik ten Hag played all his main players instead of what we thought would be playing players who often sit on the bench.

Lastly Liverpool form is very difficult to predict and we’ll have to see if Gapko can revitalise them, otherwise the board should consider if it’s time to let Klopp go and allow a new manager to work on this current squad.

Liverpool's performance is indeed falling because of some things that are happening internally. But we still don't want to make excuses because Jurgen Klopp still can't bring Liverpool to a better direction this season.

It turns out that Erik ten Hag fielded the main players in Manchester United's match against Everton and as a result they won. I think ten Hag is very eager to be able to give trophies to Manchester United in his first season handling Manchester United even though it is only the FA Cup which is often ignored by many other coaches.

Well I dont think that is the case because if you look at the next Manchester United's fixture, their next game will be against Charlton on EFL Cup on 10th and their next EPL game against City is on 14th so there is no reason to keep his main player out of shape by benching them. If he wants to rest most of his players then he would do so on 10th

Charlton is not a worthy opponent for Manchester United and I will assume United will win, but if United lose and play a number of players outside Erik ten Hag's main squad, I assume Manchester United wants to prepare against Manchester City which is a difficult opponent to beat at the moment in the Premier League.
According to your analysis on the 14th at Old Trafford, can Pep Guardiola bring home the points?

The Newcastle coach took some decisions that he regretted about it but he didn't have many choices since the team will face Leicester in EFL Cup in Tuesday then Fulham in EPL Sunday. Such tight schedule made them less comfortable with letting the same players getting exhausted.
Liverpool also getting a draw vs Wolves is problematic especially for Klopp since playing a replay means additional game and less time for rest for his players.

Though not really impressed but I'm glad leads later equalized against Cardiff. It was quite too early to be 2 goals down against a Championship side. I wasn't sure of leads equalizing the whole two goals, but I knew Leeds will at least have a goal because they are a scoring team. But I'm beginning to think that championship teams are doing much more better than the EPL teams in the FA Cup competition, and I think this is as a result of under estimations and overconfidence from the EPL teams. They will continue losing if those two factors is not taken care of.

[swogerino]

Today the biggest surprise was Aston Villa as they were beaten in the last 5 minutes of the game and up until then they were leading 1-0 against a team of League Two which is three leagues below the Premier League,it comes Championship,League One and then League Two.

Leeds had a draw but at least Leeds will play again and I am sure in the return leg they will win in their home team while Aston Villa took it to easy tonight and they got an humiliating defeat in their home field made a bad name for the Premier League sides.

Really exciting Match today   . Chelsea are currently in deep shit because the more they try to come out of this bad form the harder it gets. Manchester City really out did this Chelsea team, a 4 nil Victory for Manchester City even with the likes of hallaand and some keys players absence Manchester City still managed to wound Chelsea really bad.

Since the leaving of former Chelsea coach thomas tushell the team  has lost all tenacity to play and win games. I think the team really has to do something really quick and this current coach is not blending at all so i think what this Chelsea team needs now is just a new coach with an experience of managing top team. If Chelsea continues with this current form i think they are going to finish the season in lower half of the premier league table.  

Manchester City just love winning Chelsea or what?
~They out of the fa cup
~out of position in the table. This team just needs a really big change.

Chelsea will be having sleepless nights anytime they get matched with Manchester City from now on because Manchester City showed their class against Chelsea today, what a humiliating defeat for the blues, I must say that I was expecting much better performance from Chelsea but that was not the case and if Potter continues with these kind of results he might get sacked sooner than later.

potter can't do anything to make chelsea better maybe it takes time for him to make chelsea a great team, but with the many defeats and bad results lately it's clear that it will make potter fired faster especially soon the UCL match will start against dortmund of course it will be hard work, the 4 - 0 defeat with manchester city should be a lesson for chelsea to be better

[Majestic-milf]

 Since Chelsea can't get any better result for them selves I think is better for them to go back and do there home work on there next game, if they had won it would have been Chelsea against Oxford or Arsenal. The Oxford UTD are not really match for the gunners after having a draw against Newcastle it will be a change of plan for Mikel Arteta's Arsenal team to trash this Oxford side, the Gunners are pretty much confidence in going head to head against the League one side talking about the Oxford UTD. To me, is going to be a much more like a shooting practice for the gunners, a big win to Arsenal and a bucket loads of goals.

4-0 is a bad score for Chelsea even though it is only an FA CUP class. Chelsea's poor results in this defeat remind me of the management's quick decision to sack Thomas Tuchel and hand over the coaching duties to Graham Potter. I think Potter is still stiff in handling a club as big as Chelsea. GP's strategy did not go smoothly with Chelsea even though when he became Brighton coach it looked so successful.

The total shots taken by the Blues throughout the game were almost nonexistent. Only 1 on target and 1 off target.
Against Manchester City, Graham Potter played almost all the main players, only the left-back and center-back were played by inexperienced players, namely Lewis Hall (RB) and Bashir Humphreys (CB).

What's wrong with Potter?

[Patrol69]

Manchester City's 4-0 win over Chelsea was truly remarkable.  From the beginning, Manchester City was playing a very aggressive game against Sales. Manchester City took the lead by scoring a goal in just 23 minutes.  R. Mahrez (23') gives Manchester City a 1-0 lead with a superb free-kick.  Later, Manchester City players scored consecutively.  But the most surprising thing in this match is that two of the four goals in this match were from penalty shots. J. Álvarez 30' (P) P. Foden 38' R. Mahrez ' 85' (P) The Manchester City players left the field with consecutive goals to ensure their victory 4-0. The goal I enjoyed the most in this match was R. Mahrez's free kick, that goal was really great.

It's an embarrassing defeat for Chelsea's class, their form in all competitions this season has been terrible and Graham Potter can't make Chlesea better after Thomas Tuchel, who I think is too early to be sacked by Chelsea.
and when Chelsea met Manchester City they really couldn't beat and even scored goals for Manchester City since the 2020/21 Champions League final and Abramovich's departure changed everything plus the departure of Thomas Tuchel Chelsea got even worse.

Only a few minutes at the start of the match Chelsea could put emphasis on Man City, but a free kick from Riyad Mahrez which managed to become a goal broke Chelsea's concentration and an error in the penalty box by a Chelsea player so that the referee awarded a penalty further exacerbated the situation, pressing at the start of the match what they did ended up being a depressing act, it's just that this 4-0 defeat was an absolute embarrassment, Chelsea didn't show that they are a team with good enough quality players and Potter will be the target of this defeat, and the sackers as you said are very likely to be done.

I don't want to get too far into the discussion of the change in the club's shareholding from Abramovich to Todd Boehly. But too quickly sacking Thomas Tuchel in my opinion was the Chelsea club owner's initial mistake because Tuchel when compared to Potter was still too good for the German passport coach.

It is understandable Chelsea's performance against Manchester City because it is only an FA CUP status, but what if these conditions occur in the biggest competition such as the UEFA Champion League later against Borussia Dortmund?
