FA Cup Final - Post Game thread

We all know the script.
It will be about their 10th pre season game and our 3rd or 4th so they will be more match fit than us. Pep will use it as purely a friendly game with lots of changes and they will win, as more or less everyone beats us now in the Charity Shield due to the nature of how we treat it as part of pre season and some of our players are likely to go further in the Euros so they will be given extra time off.
Headlines Rags are back, title challenge, are City all that etc.
Later in the season, we get stronger and go on a run because unlike others we have not flogged players to death in the 1st few months of the season inc a ton of pre season games.

Next year will be very different i think with Eddie mabe off. Bernie KDB.. could be a huge transition year.

Agree with all of this and like you had expressed the celebrations as a cause for concern to others on the lead up to the game.

To put some context to it. Yesterday I had roughly 4.5 pints spread out over the course of the day. Never felt pissed, went to bed at a reasonable hour and slept soundly. Woke up absolutely fine and felt good all day. Nothing to get stressed over apart from our performance yesterday. Today I had maybe a slightly reduced appetite and marginally elevated resting heart rate. Just got in from a 7ish mile run and my performance was down about 8 percent on where I'd usually be. 4.5 pints is something I'd have drunk in little over an hour in my 'prime' and drinking with my rugby mates. I felt perfectly fine at attempting that distance and still had a drop off of that significance in performance. If people don't think a heavy session a few days before the final had an impact yesterday then they have their head in the sand as opposed to the players that probably had their heads in a shed most of the week. They're never going to admit to it as what they did was that unprofessional and would rather deflect blame elsewhere to save face. A massive own goal and the decision to approve it is absolutely ridiculous.

I agree we looked like a load of lads playing on the beach of a stag do! First 20 mins all the ball and we were trying ridiculous stuff..1-2's in our own box..all of that.. we looked very unprofessional. My old man was saying this has complacency result all over this..we were 0 : 0 at the time and tried to score only aftee 20 odd passes..knew where this was going.

The frustrating thing about thr 2nd goal was the lack of urgency to track players.

Not just Walker......but Foden was a massive part of it. A 10 yard burst to get alongside Fernandes and the goal doesn't happen.

He can see the danger and has help Ake who can't be in two places at once.

Like you say....collectively poor.

Yes no fucker tracking back....
 
Well, that's the last time I ever go into a derby feeling confident!

Otoh, the FA Cup they really wanted to win was last season's. So there's that.
 
Well, I'm currently in Alicante and got absolutely fucking leathered yesterday. Was the only Blue in a bar, Welsh and Yorkshire reds abound. Ended up with a sound older Red from Wythenshawe and aside from the result actually had a decent afternoon with him. The mrs found me throwing up naked in the hotel room bog in the early hours. Had to go down this morning and check I hadn't been sick anywhere else as I genuinely don't remember how I got back.

Head it left....towards Ake

Head it right toward the touch line

The only way Skeletor could have scored or taking advantage is the way it panned out.

I'm not Gvardiol.....so wasn't in his head. Just an observation which is easy to make on replays.

No pace on a bouncing ball, all facing his own goal. Very difficult. What gvardiol did was correct and you'll see it in many games, what you wont see is many goalkeepers doing an Ortega committing Hari-Kari…..
