Semi Final - Post Match Thread

[scousemanc]

People are massively overreacting here.
We're 55 games into the season, we've made 7 changes, bringing KDB, Mendy and Fernadinho back from injury, Walker getting injured and Jesus is still playing like a guy who's on the bench 80% of the time.
If a team like Brighton are going to play conservatively and make things scrappy, we're going to have scrappy games.

Completely agree with this take on the game. We shouldn't underestimate the ability of our players and manager to play to the opposition. Having gone one up, we were in control. As a supporter it doesn't feel like that, but the players understand it. If the opposition are at say, level 6, our players play at level 7. This is absolutely the correct approach at this stage in the season. I admire it and most importantly, it works. Look at City's record in 2019.

Walker looked like he had just been told he would be shot at dawn after he came off. Think Pep will have ripped him a new one at half time because of his stupidity.

Pep almost never makes a substitution at half time, so unless he had a knock, he must have been really pissed off with him.

In fairness we did something similar in a CL semi.

It was more that none of those players will have a better chance to win silverware.

For the first time ever I will say that I am not sure if David Silva makes our first eleven. My favourite ever City player just isn't cutting it at the moment....really hope this is a temporary blip.

He shirks responsibility every time he gets the ball....”here Otamendi, you have it, I want nothing to do with it”.

Garbage,he plays to his strengths which is athleticism and power.

I think Phil Foden would be a better option than David Silva now.

He’s not far away, I agree

 

[bavarian blue]

I’d like to agree but the passing and tempo were poor today

No ,we were very poor.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Am I the only one who thinks Mendy was okish?

For someone who hasn’t played for months he was absolutely fine.

He’ll come in handy in the attacking phase over the remainder of the season.

Its been a wish to lift the FA cup again for a few seasons now, glad we made it.

Their players went down at slight contact but credit to jahanbakhsh for not going down where he could have or it would have easily resulted in a red card.

They're both ugly diving ****s so it's understandable that you got confused, but it was Jahakanbash that stamped on Walker. Just as disgraceful but on the opposite wing.

Was it?? Bloody hell age is catching up with me lol!!
