Match Thread | Man City vs Man Utd - FA Cup Final (03/06/23)

The ridiculously early goal might not have helped us.

Bar the subsequent 10 minutes, we looked passive and borderline complacent at times.

I'd stick Phil on for Jack.. Grealish isn't needed defensively vs Wan Bissaka and Phil is way better going forward.

 

[pride in battle]

THREE MAJOR incidents and they all go in the rags favour...corrupt as fuck !!!!

Apart from the goal, I can’t say we played particularly well in that first half.

Several players look out-of-rhythm, with Kev looking quite poor and Bernardo and Grealish both very quiet and/or sloppy.

That said, I think Rodri has put in his customary good shift, and our defence actually looks comfortable when they attack.

Even a subpar City team should be able to beat this United team in a fair match. Unfortunately, it looks as though we are going to get the same treatment as we did at Old Trafford, with suspect decisions (or non-decisions) going the way of United. We’re playing against 13 men.

PGMOL appears to be attempting to engineer a United win, as they have a few times this season, including against us. It is scandalous that they gave that handball on Jack and ignore an obvious foul in the box on Kev.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see United get a penalty for a similar challenge in the second half, just to really say “Fuck City” on the world stage.

I know Pep and co will be lighting a fire under the players and making adjustments to get us playing with more intent and thrust.

We have to murder them in the second half, otherwise the officials will murder us.

It is infuriating to constantly be in this position of having to be too good to give the officials a chance to manipulate the match outcome but it is what it is and, in this match, we have to play with that in mind.

I think we will improve considerably in the second half and put them to the sword, now that we know exactly how they are playing against us.

Up the blues!

Ask yourself this:

Would that have been given at the other end?

The answer is NO FUCKING WAY.

There's your answer.

not in a billion years

 

[Dialog]

That is why Foden should have started over Jack.

Clearly you want to be slaughtered by the fanboys

 

[buckshot]

As always it's open season on City players, nobody for them has any worries about challenges at this point. That yellow for Wan-Bissaka is the best thing that could have happened to him since there is zero chance they'll send one of them off. He can do what he wants over the last 45.

 

[liveandletdive]

We need Foden on, as he hates these red b@s#<÷=<£ more than most..

 

[SamTheGuru]

Let's all dig deep, we are going to war in this second half.

That singers arms must be a bit sweaty in that latex .

She’s been looking for rat boy’s bollocks where the sun don’t shine

BBC think Casemiro was a yellow, including Micah.

Fucking disgraceful. He makes NO attempt to play the ball. Clear as day.

and he feigns injury because HE KNOWS what he’s just done
