Save for Foden and Doku, as the game wore on there was nobody in midfield who could inject pace when play got stretched. We’re fine when we keep the ball and suffocate the opponent, but we won’t want to open the game up against them. Just like they did against Newcastle, they’ll go long from the off to stretch our shape.

You speak as if you think that we'll allow them to dictate the game to us !?!
Might want to rethink that one.
 
This is their cup final
Arf
I recall the route one stuff in the recent derby
They could have scored two or three before we scored
Wembley of course is a leveller of sorts
I'll just be grateful for any win
 
We're in a similar situation to the Watford cup final
It's our last game of the season and we're in a fabulous run of form with a fully fit squad, Ederson excepted
Looking back at the Watford final, KDB and Stones didn't start, so again there are going to be some very disappointed players
I know Doku had a terrific game yesterday, but I wouldn't start him against utd and I'm hoping Kovecic comes back into the team
Let's get ahead and when the rags have to start chasing the game, then bring Doku on to exploit the space
Bernardo Haaland, Foden, KDB. They all love playing against the rags
 
If we play like we did for the first 40 minutes yesterday we won’t just beat the cunts we will absolutely humiliate them. Their 2 biggest dangers were Andy Madley and Ortega getting injured yesterday. Just Madley to worry about now

Pep commented that he went with Doku vs W Ham precisely because he's good in tight spaces.

That's the only real conundrum for Pep. I agree he's more likely to go with Kova, but Doku was so good yesterday that Pep might be tempted to reconsider.

Whereas Ten Bob will have the dilemma of whether to play Casimero or Jonny Fucking Evans at centre back lol
 
We'll smash them

I think we would have last season in the final but players had one eye on the champions league final, not in a unprofessional way but knew they had to keep plenty in the tank, not pick up knocks etc. It was more of a professional job.

On Saturday we'll let loose on them

Doku was brilliant, tied Coufal up in knots at times
 
I can’t wait…. I have a feeling that every shot from Haaland goes in, he will score a hat trick

He certainly did that.
The only thing he did wrong yesterday is have no awareness of where Coufal was for those long crossfield passes.
Just prior to their goal he must have been 30 yards away from Coufal, allowing a dangerous cross that led to their corner.
I'm sure its something Pep will work on.

I think too he will go with that selection. I'm not sure I prefer this though as Doku can turn them upside down.
BTW how did you manage to choose the 4-3-2-1 formation in that site? I only see 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1.

you can shift players wherever you want , just long click on the player when you select him , with the mouse cursor
