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

[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!!

Hmm after seeing this video with Pep about this(5:20) I changed my mind. I think his justification makes a lot of sense :)

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.

We appreciate your girlfriend's sacrifice...
That certainly is dedication to the cause.

Don't be negative Ortega is the better keeper

ok..i'll start convincing myself.
doesn't matter, we'll batter them anyway

Personally I just think this was Ederson’s warm up for the CL game. I think Ortega will play next week.

The only decisions for me are Akanji/Ake and Bernado/Foden.

I think Foden has played well last couple of weeks and could play but won’t start the CL final. Bernardo will be back for that.

Agree mate.

Grealish Haaland Foden for the FA Cup

Grealish Haaland Bernardo for the CL

Remember what happened last time we dropped the cup keeper in the FA Cup Final!
He won’t be playing Ederson at Wembley and personally I think it would be a mistake to put him in

Wigan? Yes but surely this is the perfect warm up match for the big one.

I don’t think it’s the time to be sentimental with Ortega. We could be on the cusp of greatness so I want the best team available and that includes Ederson.

I wonder what jiggery pokery PGMOL have got cooked up for this one?

We need to stay away from the Media for a week.
