That's an annoyingly tough run now with Brighton.
To be fair we’ve had reasonable draws to date in the FA Cup and all at home. Hopefully players get their act together for Wembley.Again, we get the toughest draw.
If we want to win the FA Cup, we'll have to beat City.
I'd say Sheff Utd got the toughest draw. City is the best team left in the cup surely?Again, we get the toughest draw.

No, City get the easy draw, Sheffield are never getting to the final in any scenario.I'd say Sheff Utd got the toughest draw. City is the best team left in the cup surely?
the domestic draws so far have been ridiculously tame.Again, we get the toughest draw.
To be fair, City have had much more difficult draws than us in all competitions. Had to play Liverpool in the EFL Cup and then faced Chelsea and Arsenal in the FA Cup. Will be facing Bayern Munich in the CL as well, and are also in the much tougher path to the eventual final.Other than in Carabao Cup, we haven't had easy draws under ten Hag so far. Everton, West Ham, Fulham and Brighton aren't easy draws, even if first 3 were at Old Trafford.
April will be even tougher now but it is what it is.
I'd say we had favourable draws in Carabao Cup. Fa Cup - only in the way we played all the games at Old Trafford. Europa - not great, got Sevilla (after Barca and Betis) and Juve side of the draw if we beat Sevilla.To be fair, City have had much more difficult draws than us in all competitions.

I suppose we could have had better luck in the draws for the Europa League knockout stages, but our draws for the domestic cups have been extremely favourable.
That’s the spirit!These feckers are going to cook us at Wembley.
Ok I won’t bother going so , anyone want my ticket ?These feckers are going to cook us at Wembley.
I imagine McTominay will drop to centre back but he wasn’t even in the squad today. Going to be a tough one.Going to be a very tough game next weekend, no idea what kind of defence we'll be able to put out unless one of Varane or Shaw are back
Casemiro even more likely as he's already done it this season?I imagine McTominay will drop to centre back but he wasn’t even in the squad today. Going to be a tough one.
Yeh Sunday.Surely we will play Brighton on Sunday and not Saturday. Right?
That would leave our midfield weaker so would prefer him there really.Casemiro even more likely as he's already done it this season?
United lost their one match vs. Brighton and split the two matches vs. City. Brighton has lost 1 match vs. City. This (limited) data suggests that Brighton are more likely to win against United, but less likely to beat City than United are. Bookmakers/professional gamblers certainly have more complicated probability models than this, but for simplicity's sake let's say this data is heavily weighted compared to everything else.So just checked the odds on the game with one bookmaker. They got Brighton as favourites for the match but as outright winners of the Cup we are second favourites to City. Am I missing something?
Thank you for this
If there was ever a match I would bet my house on it would be this one. A minimum 3-0 victory.I have less than zero desire to watch the City semi, it’s such a forgone conclusion.
