FA Cup Final | United (N) - Sat 3rd June 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Blue Til Death]

Fuck em.. Vile scum, the only thing that may save them from a serious tonking is the CL
Final a week layer

 

[Ducado]

The key to this game will be intent and energy, we can overwhelm most teams when we are top of our game

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

Rags best chance of winning is shithousery and playing for cards. Same applies to Inter.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Before the Everton game we thought we might need 8 points from the last 4 games. Due to Arsenal capsizing we have been able to coast home. So instead of being knackered approaching these two finals we should have everyone in peak shape.
They are cup games so anything could happen but we couldn't have asked for it to pan out better than this.

Agreed we are never going to have a better chance.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

If we can control possession and their counter, the game is ours, with the only question being by how much.

If we have an off day at the back or upfront, it’s a toss up.

On their day, they can beat anyone. On a bad day, we can beat most teams, and on an average day we can do it with our “Second Team.”

Finals, as we learned against Chelsea in the first CL Final we played, against Wigan in the FA Cup, and Watford, also in the FA Cup, are all about who shows up and performs. Everyone in the world knows that if we play our best, United have no chance. If they play their best, it depends which City team shows up.

THIS is why we play the game on grass, not paper!

COME ON CITY!!!

Just seen ten bobs rallying cry in the middle of old toilet. Lord above i pray we make them look silly

Three-Peat Champions 4-0 Trafford Athletic

We’re going to batter them, without a shadow of a doubt.

I believe Pep’s words today were nothing more than deception. Didn’t he say a few days ago he was selecting a full strength squad against Brentford?

 

[ManCityGR!]

I said that before but 2 days off before a final seems way too much for me. :(
I wanted them with zero off days and to train and train and train and again train as hard possible, I do not mean physically and spend all their energy of course, but physically and tactically. Be every day there hours and hours and analyze everything.
Pep claimed this approach is overrated and it's better for them to calm down and be disconnected from the team for 1-2 days.

I do not buy it but it's Pep for a reason that is a coach and the best one and not me :) Let's hope it works!!

And let's hope all players are fit on Wednesday so they will have time to prepare just fine!

 

[NoCompromise]

This threads been a long time coming.
SMASH THEM TO BITS.
Very confident, they don't want it.
Make history.

 

[Harrilew]

Ederson
Walker stones Dias Ake
Rodri
Gundo kdb
Foden haaland grealish

Would be my preference.......

.....but I think Ortega, Bernardo and possibly Akanji will all start

2 weeks ago I would go with Silva and definitely Grealish(not even a discussion to not choose him), but Foden seems on a great form right now so I would even prefer if he replaces any one of these 2.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Just win. There is no alternative, as this is our chance of footballing immortality. No matter what it takes we have to overcome these vile scum.

We have better players and play better football, but we have to be mentally right for this against not only the opposition but the decisions the FA’s favourite team will get, and the cheating, diving rats in their team that always somehow fool var and the officials.

COME ON CITY!!!! Nothing but a win will do!

 

[Dirty Harry]

We only ever lose when I stay the weekend at my girlfriends, so, the next two weekends, she’ll be staying over at mine, naturally.

 

[Victorinodennistua]

Agreed we are never going to have a better chance.

When you consider that Liverpool almost did the Quad last year and they were shit in both English finals. It’s a fine line we Can get right. We have been exceptional enough to see it through over the last few months. We are better than utd so let’s do the business.

And mine.

 

[PabZabb]

Two wins away from sporting immortality.

We aren't going to let these stop us.

They're going to get the Madrid treatment.

I’ve had a few and I read that as the ‘Mahrez treatment’

Thank god I squinted and read it again

 

[BLUE THUNDER]

Ederson will not be playing which I don't agree with.
Pep said he would be playing Ortega.
Problem with that is, Ortega's distribution is way inferior and can create uncertainty
plus Ederson will not have played for 2 weeks leading into Champs League Final

We are on the verge of history and should not be playing on sentiment

 

[City Raider]

Just keep showing them the Fernandes goal Pep

Don't be negative Ortega is the better keeper

 

[Ste1969]

Onwards and upwards boys we start the demolition at wembley, then dismantle and pull them apart in Instanbul.
