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

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.

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.
 
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.
