Coventry City comment from CoventryLive as Sky Blues reporter Andy Turner looks at how the Championship club can mastermind an FA Cup semi-final upset against Manchester United

Accusations that the Coventry City players were keeping a watch on their big date at Wembley after losing their final genuine opportunity to stay in the play-off campaign were unavoidable during the weekend. Regardless of whether it is true or not, the league campaign is put on hold this week as the Sky Blues concentrate all of their energy on trying to compete against a Manchester United team that is going through some rough times.

In addition to the mounting injuries and social media discontent, manager Erik ten Hag is under intense pressure to prevent humiliation at the hands of a Championship club, so Mark will need to put in a tremendous effort in Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final.First and foremost, Robins’ players need to compete to stay in the match, much less pull off a great performance to win the draw.
Although City is adamant that they won’t go there only to make up the numbers, how precisely does a lower-tier team with a smaller budget and a smaller roster manage to pull off the surprise victory of the weekend, if not the entire season? They will undoubtedly have the support of the majority of the country. Although many football supporters detest Man United and neutrals enjoy an underdog, a wave of one-time support on game day will not help win the match. What thus would it take to defeat a top-tier Premier League team?

Arguably, the solution resides in having a brilliant football coach who can devise a strategy to overcome the obstacles. Adi Viveash, of course, is that man. He and Robins are responsible for giving the players the tactical knowledge they need to not just handle the challenges United presents, but also to return the favour.

In the past, especially against Leeds United at Elland Road earlier in the season and more recently against Wolves in the quarterfinal, they have devised incredibly successful game plans. In both cases, the element of surprise worked brilliantly as City caught the opposition off guard by deploying players out of position.
