FA Cup Final v Watford - Pre Match Thread

[The Riot Club]

Agreed. It’s becoming more like a game of non contact or ‘how can we con the referee’. The officials and FA need to clamp down on this blatant cheating. It’s disgusting and embarrassing. Rolling round like they’ve been hit by a train. Salah is the prime example, throwing his arms in the air and chucking himself to the ground like petulant two year old.
If this can be ‘policed’ out of the game, it will be for the good of all.

Soft bastards need a few training sessions with a rugby team. Roll around for no reason then and see how long til they get a real fucking injury.

I'd give Jesus and Sane a run out. They have been peripheral in during this amazing run-in so I think they deserve a game

An FA Cup final with a domestic treble on the line I doubt is the time to give players a game because they "deserve" a game because they have been on the peripheral.
With Sane's recent performances he is lucky to make the bench in my opinion.

Same team as Sunday for me.

They are Brazilian and German internationals, I'm not talking about picking up lads from Wythenshawe Park!

It's a squad game, we need to give squad members a reason to believe in the collective

Looking forward to this never tire of Wembley

I remember as a young lad writing to every football league team begging for a ticket for the Spurs game
Never got a ticket but sure making up for it now

Since we are going to be binned from CL(according to someone), will we qualify for EL if we win this ? :)

Last game of the season, no 'resting' for other matches...90 minute performance..................................................... should just sneak home.

Isn't it vice versa?
Players have to show Pep their burning desire in training and if they don't,
they won't play.

Look at Danilo. Pep is refusing to give him a reason to believe in the collective. Danilo has to be better than Kyle or Zin.

Pep wants success, it works quite well and our key is a very competitve squad.
No presents to anybody and no special treatment for nobody.
Besides tactical moves - only performance counts.

Pep wants to win that glorious FA Cup for his first time. He has talked about it so many times.
Whoever will be in the starting XI will have Pep's total backing to be the best option available for that match.

We need to stop the opposition isolating Zinchenko, our smallest player in defence, on set pieces. It happened twice on Sunday, they scored from one and went close from the other. Watford and Deeney will be all over this at the weekend

Was he one of the gobby fuckers before the match who was spouting about how they were going to stop us.

Yeah he was one, he said they're going to put their bodies on the line to stop us winning
