A 2-3 buildup then, what, Bernardo behind a front 4?

SU completely ignore Gomez when on the ball. Odd because he is pretty decent on it.

Strange system. Glad to have gotten the penalty in any event.

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.

Never see it when the rags get a dodgy pen!
 
Talk about the penalty decision all you want but Sheffield Utd will be absolutely kicking themselves for not taking that opportunity in the first couple of minutes.
 
All that shit about SU chance after 90 secs. It was a mile offside, 4 of them.
More bus parking shite second half then throw a few subs on with 10 left and have a go, revolutionary!
Haaland and Alvarez one each 2nd half 3 - 0.

Some ridiculous rag like comments in here calling it dinosaur football, what on earth do you want them to do, if they decided to be open they'll get torn about.

They did their job in the first half until the end, restricted us to any space and barely had a shot on target.

Too right. You shouldn't be moaning about another team's tactics, you should be moaning that your team can't break down these 'dinosaur' tactics.

Classic display of letting their fouls go and pinging ours.

Notice the play on when we had a fouls in a great position outside their box with us going backwards?

You think he waves play on for them in that position?

Lol

He let two of theirs get in free hits on Jack and then waived only when we complained.

And that happens a lot with us. His fouls-won-to-cards-won is insanely high.

Our problem isn’t really the attack imo, it’s the build up and midfield. It sounds defensive but if we brought Dias and Stones on for Gomez and Walker, who are both horrible, plus Rodri on for Bernardo, moving Gundo higher, it would transform us.

But we might have a knackered squad for Wednesday.

That has been a game of one team aiming to get the ball into the opposition penalty area and one team attempting to stop them. Mind, that's par for the course at The Etihad. We need to speed it up a bit, move the ball quicker. We need half an hour of the Son of Drongen!
 
Will finish 3 or 4 nil. We're doing the absolute bare minimum needed. Understandable considering what's coming up. Winning an FA Cup Semi without breaking a sweat.

The commentary is like somebody’s forgotten that the mic is on, and we’re having to listen to a bunch of old bitter bastards talking shit between themselves about a match their clearly not interested in.

Absolutely piss poor.
