United (N) - Sat 25th May | 2024 FA Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

Preview of Saturday:

 

[Academica]

The one thing we haven’t done to them in this glorious era has been to inflict the sickening pain of a last minute defeat on them.

No better time or place than this weekend.

Think 93-20 inflicted quite a bit of last minute pain.

Rodri masterclass incoming

Rodri gets it. What a leader he is, our most important player.

This..reminds me of zabba

The Poznan to mock their team announcements at the semi-final in 2011 was terrific and it had to be repeated last year. But it feels a bit tired now, might be better to greet their team news with a loud chorus of "you're s**t and you know you are."

Expect the raggies will have something amusing of their own planned, probably referencing "115."

City 3-0 and Casimeiro sent off.

If Ten Hag is getting the boot this probably makes our task that little bit easier

potentially, shades of that 2013 final when all the players knew mancini would be sacked and we proceeded to turn in an absolute shitshow of a performance.

However, maybe their players will be on a high knowing their manager is off and put in a good performance.

Who knows!

Preview of Saturday:

I know Pep likes to play out from the back but that is a bit extreme.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

It’s not going to be as easy as we think it will be. United will be up for this match. With quite a few of their better players back in the 1st team.

Bang on. Far, far too much overconfidence from too many people

If it guarantees more consistent penetration, I welcome the intensified tactics.

Full kit wanker.

No, the rest of me was as nature intended.

Adidas? Rag

While i agree with you about the overconfidence and we should remain humble, there is a point where we shouldnt underplay how good the team that has just won the pl for the FOURTH time on the bounce is.

Adidas? Rag

They're Addoodas I think...Temu specials.
The Crocs are the real thing!

But can you play left back ?

 

[oldius]

But can you play left back ?

I was always left back when picking teams. Left back at the side of the pitch.

I looking forward to Sunday tbh, there has been too much football for years and with the Euros looming, I just want our lads to get a bit of a break. Obviously a win would normally seem very likely, but United will be well up for this so City need to keep the same focus they showed against the Spuds. If we lose, it will probably backfire on United because they will use it as another excuse to paper over the cracks. I think we need to keep our nerve and play to our strengths, we have had five and a half days between games, which is rare these days
