Match Thread | Man City vs Sheff Utd FA Cup @ 4.45pm (22/04/23)

The empty seats in the Wembley club area are embarrassing. Pundits desperately wanting City beaten here.

 

[malg]

What are these pricks trying to forensically pick apart here? Clear penalty. Legs swept away shut the fuck up you desperate narrative building has been fucktards

To paraphrase a favourite film of mine (Tropic Thunder):

They've gone full idiot

 

[Theengelbert]

Sheffield held their own? Boring as fuck eleven men behind the ball.anti football.

That’s how I’d play if I were playing us. What would you do? All out attack?

 

[wolviedinho]

McCoist and Dickson absolutely terrible on commentary, stonewall pen but they are desperate to find a reason to disallow it.

Who cares? Fuck them all. Feel their pain

 

[01cravend]

Had to pull the the tv guide up and make sure I wasn't watching on Sheffield United TV

 

[plattlanebenches]

This is the worst display of the most biased commentary and co commentary I have ever heard. Way worse than even sky an bt.

 

[youngbob]

What are ITV going on about. It's a stonewall penalty.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Held their fucking own???

They’ve done fuck all since that great chance in the first minute.

It’s fucking dreadful listening to this.

No they're not. They've been fair.

That Norwood had free reign to twat our players then

Atwell has generally given them the signal they can go in hard and either not get anything or a simple foul at most.

And he’ll go bigger in the second half.

 

[stan bowles]

Our usual fluid passing game is absent today. We look like we're in game management mode already and would be quite happy if the game finished as it currently stands.

 

[heslops barnet]

wonder if foden is fit enough for some Minutes? Could do with jack getting a break second half

Foden would get a good kicking from these twats

 

[GornikDaze]

Notice how when we might get a penalty, they micro-analyse whether there’s a feather of a touch on the ball, then they go back as many phases of play as they like to look for an offside, then they go back to the Quarter Final to look for a foul, then and only then do they settle on it being a penalty.

I think the wrong ball came out in the draw ;)

 

[Bigga]

The ball changes direction….

Yes because Bernardo kicked it you thick twat!

Being objective the ball does spin from the second contact, but not far enough in a different 'direction'.

Way more contact on man than ball.

Already looking forward to playing them next season…..

Walker is driving me nuts. What is he doing

Sheff utd fan, playing for them today

 

[city warrior]

Walker has been awful so far, what a drop off from last couple of seasons

Why? He has not been dribbled all night. Some good passes to Alvarez breaking the lines and it's the only plauer going behind the line. Are his crosses shit? Yrah, but they have always been. Some bad passes? Sure, but he is the only one trying some dofficult passes

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Why the in depth analysis about whether he touches the ball?… That isn’t the criteria for what is considered a foul?

He’s behind the man, he’s clearly clattered him. If he gets a touch it’s by coming round the back of him. It’s an obvious foul literally anywhere else on the pitch. Absurd that anybody is even suggesting it’s contentious. If you need a fucking microscope to tell if he’s touched the ball then it’s a foul.

 

[Shaffer92]

I’m in the minority I feel but I fuckin’ love Akanji.

MOTM in that half by a MILE
