FA Cup Final v Watford - Pre Match Thread

Loving them kits

Don’t know how much it came into his reckoning but bringing in Mahrez and Jesus for such important games sends a strong signal that marginal first team players are vital members of the squad...and wanted. By the same token, though, Sane must feel a bit left out. Hopefully he’ll get on as sub and do something special.

John Barnes is almost as wide as he is tall,quite an achievement

Just turned on the TV, Sportsnet and it’s f.....g Tyler ! FFS

Not sure how that got in there. That was something I started typing earlier and didn't post.

Trust Nike to bang out the best Nike top they have ever give us

Not sure about that the black stripes look like a stuck on afterthought.

Yes,very nice.

Nike would have had a winner there.

 

[hello]

is this on tv in the usa?

If not point your vpn to uk and watch on bbc.

Got to admit that is a nice strip they have on and good of the club to celebrate the team of 50 years ago

How short is sweep and Barnes

Just thought that about Barnes problem is he's 20 stone:)

Love them warm up tops, like that to be the away shirt next season.

 

[sir baconface]

Assume im the only one happy that Gabby is starting

Not at all. Brave choice by Pep. I’m sure Kun will get on the pitch at some stage.

I see the dickeads are out. Pep can do no wrong pricks.
Answer this.
Who would YOU start in a cup final?
Marhez and Jesus
Or Sane and Aguero.

Simple question.

- Sane is on his way out, has been terrible since the start of the year. Should be nowhere near the starting 11
- Aguero's half-arsed pressing is ineffective vs Watford, he'll do well coming from the bench when the oppos are tired
- Sterling is more dangerous on the left
- Jesus is one of the world's best forwards in terms of pressing/defending, rarely loses the ball

So the answer is obvious.

 

[SebastianBlue]

We lost 1-0
Vinny got sent off
Jesus got caught offside a record number of times in a single match
Mahrez was shit
and it was all Sterling’s fault
Oh...and the coaches the players paid for broke down

Enough with the BBC match report, how did we actually do?

Pity Nike couldn't have come up with a decent kit in the time they had with us

It's on ESPN+ (Gold) or whatever it's called

Simple question.

I'm okay with the team but admit I would have started Sane and Aguero but I am not a risk taker. I have been fuming and agreed with you many times over the season about Pep overthinking things but I have usually been proved wrong. After the last few weeks I don't have the energy to get too worked up about this selection and Gabby has played well in the cup. Happy to see how things pan out and things can be changed if it's not working.

I see bill is in full trolling mode
