FA Cup 6th round: Pompey draw United… Away!
By: b-man | February 18th, 2008Pompey fans everywhere have had dreams of the FA Cup take a massive blow today when we were drawn against Manchester United away earlier.
We went there a few weeks ago and were dominated from first to last.
However this draw could have some advantages. If we were to win this game and reach the semi-final then we’d have such confidence. Even Chelsea wouldn’t frighten us. Also it means that if we win then us and Chelsea will be the only other Premiership team in it (well maybe Middelsbrough but I’m sure we’d beat them even if they do make it that far). This would give us a 2/3 chance of drawing a non-Premiership team. And when/if we make it to the final then anything is possible.
Wait, I seem to have built myself up into some sort of frenzy. I think I’ve forgotten that first we have to actually beat Man Utd at Old Trafford.
But it is possible. If we go there with the same team that we put out against Preston then we have a chance. As I’ve said before; if our midfield trio of Diarra, Muntari and Diop play to their potential then they can dominate the game. Also Krancjar on the left can add the creative spark, Utaka will throw in a dash of pace and the experienced Kanu up front can hold the ball up brilliantly.
Add to this a sturdy defence and a keeper in top form and it becomes clear that we CAN win this game.
