They will if they go 1-0 up early on. Some teams have us Sussed, ie Palace

Nope. Totally different game plan mate they can't come and just 'sit back'.

Would take anyone! This FA Cup is ours to lose. Haven't conceded a goal in the competition so far. I'm predicting us to beat Palace in the semi's and beat Watford in the final!

Palace please.

Of course they can. They get an early goal and they can shove 10 behind the ball. They have done it to us before along with other teams, just cos it's a semi doesn't mean teams are not going to use the one tactic they know we struggle with.

Anyone ever won it without conceding a goal? (Would be the most gloriously ironic ending to this season)

For some reason Wembley seems to favour teams better on the ball. The sort of game plans that you see teams like Palace Southampton and Liverpool doing doesn't always work as well at Wembley (disparity between the two Liverpool City games for one). There just seems to be more room for a side to get on the ball and as we found ourselves in 09, it's extremely difficult to defend a lead v a better side there.

not sure actually. Would be massively ironic if we managed that. Especially with how many goals we've conceded at home this season in the league

We almost did in 95 but for a dodgy Klinsmann penalty

To be honest, we should beat anyone and everyone left in the tournament. We are better than Palace and Watford, and I think we're better than West Ham. We played them off the park with 10 men. Man United are dross and in poor form, so same applies to them too.

The problem is that when I say we're better, I'm assuming it's the good side of Everton turning up. The FA/League Cup Everton. If Premier League Everton turns up then we should fear everyone equally. We're at least as likely to mess up against Palace or Watford as we are against United.
