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

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

They've been on the piss all week.

I think all of us were surprised at the timing and length of the celebrations following being crowned Premier League Champions.

 

[Stato]

Kovacic and Ake off, would not have taken aki off

They have been effective.

played to our weaknesses and been very organised, I was hoping we could keep it to one then when they tire pounce, martinez and verane hardly played this year so shouldnt be able to cope with 90 min but we arent hurting them enough

 

[Blue Llama]

First half we were playing 15 or so passes and creating little before losing the ball. We may as well try something even if we lose the ball after 3 or 4 passes. We might just get something from playing more adventuresly.

 

[TFC]

Be relatively simple for these now unless we get an early goal, it'll just be more of the same. Fucking come on City ffs

 

[Kinkladze 1]

Kova and ake off wtf??!

 

[dubblue]

Harsh on Kavacic.

I think part of the problem is that we retain the ball so much instead of sticking it in so it's like it's hard for Haaland to know when they're actually going to cross it. If he wastes all of his runs on possession where we just recycle it, then he's going to be knackered for one, but also he has no element of surprise on the defender.

It's like we're basically asking him to be psychic, which fortunately for us, he often is because he's really good at figuring it out. But I can't blame him for being like "oh right, so now you cross it in?"

We pass alot without attacking

 

[Gabriel]

This is worse

For the opponent and circumstances yes, but we really stank that night. Guardiola has rather reverted to big game tinkering again and unsurprisingly it’s not worked.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Tough sh1t, people hating on one of City greatest ever is just plain weird

Tough shit? I’m not arsed lol. Just feels like you’re happy about it. That’s even weirder. It’s like you’ve had these posts saved on your notes ready to fire away
