Good thing about Reading is they aren't a massive side, smaller squad. They are in the relegation zone. You have to ask what kind of a squad they are going to put out, is it worth getting a key player injured to probably still lose to United or keep them for the league and give themselves the best chance of beating the drop. I doubt we will be seeing the first XI of a barely PL side.
They netted five against an almost full strength Arsenal team.
But then again, Arsenal aren't a fine example of a good defending team.
Don't think this is an easy game, no FA cup games are easy.
Real Madrid seem to have picked up form at just the wrong time, 5-0 and 4-0 wins in the league and won a tough cup tie (with 10 men for 70 mins and 9 for 10 minutes). Still fancy our chances though, will definitely be a couple of good games.

Our form hasn't been poor tho has it? I think casilas will be a big miss for them. I can see us putting a couple of goals past their reserve goal keeper. They have a big cup game against Barca before they face up for both legs i believe. Only a couple more weeks!
The goalkeeper won't be a problem, they're buying diego lopez from sevilla, he's a castilla product like casillas and used to play for the villareal side that were constantly in the top 4 under pellegrini.

Agreed Lopez was a very good signing for Madrid. May not be Casillas but only maybe 2 other keepers are on his level.
Agreed, I really really don't rate Valdes. He's a keeper who is in the side for having good feet, not being a good goalkeeper. He's exceptional with his passing and such, average at best for his actual standard of goalkeeping.

Even his passing is overrated. He screws up passing quite often and my oh my does he like to do it against Madrid...
