Not bothered who we got...we got to have our A game for any of the 3. If we are up for it they are out.
Just got in and saw the draw. At the end of the day, anyone can beat anyone at this stage if they bring their A game - including ourselves. Arsenal look the weakest of the 4 but then again would've raised their game to play us so it's much of a muchness. I fancy City to beat Arsenal. Neither team can defend but City will have too much for them up front. Ours is one of the few defences in the world I'd trust to deal with De Bruyne, Sane and Aguero in the form they're in at the moment. If we have to face the scum in royal blue, I guess I'd rather now than in the final - by which point they'll have won the league and will be eager to complete the double by beating us.
Not complaining about getting Chelsea at all, but I'd like to see that (semi final) draw in detail, from behind the schemes (numbering of the balls etc.,) 'Something is slightly peculiar.' that's all I'm going the say.
I'd rather get City in the final tbh as I really think we've had the measure of them for a few seasons, and this is surely the best way for that to happen. I don't think them or Arsenal are strong enough to beat Chelsea, but we are - if we bring our A game. Facing Arsenal would've been a nightmare as they always manage to raise their game against us and losing to them would've been a unbearable. So all in all, I think drawing Chelsea now is actually the best option. We were the last team to beat them. They know that, we know that. Bring 'em on.
Who knows how anyone will be playing in 6 weeks? It's just as well we have the perfect scenario possible. Also, I've been thinking it's too bad we only got the 3 at the back going halfway through the season, because we've looked just a bit better than Chelsea since, IMO. This way we get to play a single elimination top four tournament. Either we show we are the best of the bunch and get a trophy, or show we aren't, in which case there's no reason to regret finding our best system late. I think if our players can get themselves in the right frame of mind, we'll be able to do it.
