Kelechi Iheanacho is determined to bring more FA Cup success to Manchester City this season.
Before Wednesday’s stalemate with Stoke, City had been in fine goal-scoring form having put five past Huddersfield in the FA Cup fifth round and Monaco in the Champions League last 16. The fiery star is one of the best strikers in the world and City’s fans will be hoping that he stays with them for a few more years to come.
“We’ve done it before and we were in the Championship then”.
Bigger fish to try remain ahead in the Premier League and it is the job of the manager to get his side up for the fight.
“I don’t need to feel that (confidence) every day”.
“It’s very hard to build solid defensive partnerships – it is something that takes a lot of time as you need to get into a routine and build trust”.
And for Clayton a trip to national stadium would be a chance to put right a couple of unhappy Wembley outings.
“But we have other options and we will do our best”.
“I’m not thinking about titles”.
The Boro players were using Gestede well as their main outlet, and he so almost leveled for Boro with a header from a Grant Leadbitter delivery that was fumbled by Claudio Bravo, only for Zabaleta to clear off the line. Normally that just happens in the final, but here it is in the semi-final too and of course we are so happy to be there, so happy.
“So it would be nice to go down there and improve on that record”.
Silva, 31, has scored seven goals so far this season.
Boro will also wait to see if midfielder Adam Clayton is charged with The FA after TV replays showed him appearing to stamp on Raheem Sterling, though the City player escaped uninjured.
