Everton v Man City FA Cup Quarter Final

bet365 odds: Everton (15/2) Draw (4/1) Man City (1/3)*

I suppose Everton would be silly to even show up

My money is on Everton 2 man city 1

Is that because you're a United fan, John?

No, I just think Everton will be a bit more steely eyed and refreshed than city this weekend.

Hope you're right

Congratulations to Man City.
They seem quite unstoppable at the moment.

I thought Everton did well, they looked organised and well drilled, City just kept at them and at them till they found a chink and went for it.

Just another day at the office.

indeed

I didn't enjoy the game as it looked like a game of chess.
Where has all the blood and thunder gone out of many of our premier league matches these days?
I notice it happening with many matches.
It seems like nobody really wants to win and that they just don't want to lose.
As you're a Man Utd fan, these games are nothing like the energy that United had in previous years when McClair, Ruud VN, Scholes, Giggs, Ronaldo, Cantona etc.

However the Leicester v United game on now looks exciting.

Not with the striker (DCL) we have at the moment and with James Rodriguez and Doucouré out, we had no teeth.
DCL is OK but I wish we had a player like Saurez, Keegan - a fox in the box.

We held City off for 83 minutes but they found a way, and I have never seen a team who dominates possession like them.
Also, they can bring on quality towards the end of a game and finish off stubborn teams.

Oh, a Manchester derby in the final wouldn't bother me.
As long as Liverpool don't do well, I'm a happy man.

"We competed well for 80 minutes against, in my opinion, the best team in the world," said Everton boss Ancelotti.

We beat you at Goodison Park and you beat us at Stamford Bridge and, to be honest, even though Chelsea are a very good side I feel you are streets behind City at the moment.
Things can change in the cup of course but the omens are pointing in the direction of a City win in the semi's and lifting the FA Cup as well as the Premier League.

City's priority is winning the UEFA Champions League but anything else that comes along is a bonus. Strength in depth what City have and was able to rest some players. Kane coming to City would would fill a void, need a striker, relying on midfield players to score.

Should be a cracking semi-final, hope Chelsea don't play 5 at the back.
CTID.
