Match Thread | Man City vs. Man Utd FA CUP FINAL (25/05/24)

[69FACUPfinal]

Kovacic has been the only one doing anything today.

Doku for Bernado or De Bruyne.

Akanji for any of the back four.

Agree Kova has really tried.

 

[TB369]

Shameful performance and tactics today

 

[bluemoon32]

Sorry EB but Stones shouldn't be on the pitch

 

[WickyWain]

We're playing against a midfield of amrabat, mctominay and mainoo and getting battered. Wtf

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Never back against ours. Intensity needs to double tho

 

[heslops barnet]

Shit competition anyway.

Puts the rags back in Thursday night cup…..

 

[kanovic]

Sorry EB but Stones shouldn't be on the pitch

Neither should Walker

 

[Damien10]

Has Kevin found a city player with a pass yet.

 

[citymad]

Hmm. Back line isn’t working.

Tough from here, but it can still be done.

Doesn’t look like it. They are well set up to keep us out. They could really embarrass us today. Didn’t see this abysmal performance coming from us.

 

[MichaelBBack]

Could see after the first five minutes we were in trouble today. They've looked far more up for it. Only positives so far are that we're usually a lot better second half and I don't think they can sustain this high press for a full 90. It's not over, but big changes needed as we're creating sod all.

 

[jollylescott]

Akanji has to come on. I’d bring on Doku as well.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Why the Fook is akanji & Jack not playing ?

Stones isnt match sharp & Bernie is clearly fooked

Stones has been the problem all over the place

 

[RayCTID]

Being undone by hoofball

Not the first the time either

 

[Blu1]

We haven’t played this bad all season
I don’t even recognise our style of play

 

[Theengelbert]

We will win this.

I don’t feel quite so confident this time. They’re very well organised and were short on ideas on how to break them down. Doku second half. Maybe ortega isn’t quite up to eddies standard after all

 

[rickmcfc]

This is shocking. We need to pray we get in at half time 0-2 down and Pep needs to sort it out. Our first touch is a disgrace, no urgency, no passion or teamwork. We look like 11 players who have never played football together.

 

[jacko74]

What actual football have they played to get to this. Gifts.

I doubt they've scores a single goal this season that wasn't the result of a gift from a defensive clanger by the opposition.

Even for their supposed 'goal of the season' Garnacho was given all the time and space in the world to perform his circus acrobatics.

 

[Ederson1000YardDrive]

Stones, KDB, Foden and Bernado all struggling. Are the not fit?

 

[yankblue]

Need Phil to get in this game if we've got a chance. He's been anonymous

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

Too hungover, too sloopy, too casual lol expecting a strong comeback in the second half
