United (A) - Semi Final | Pre-Match Thread

Not easy this game. They will defend & hit us on the break. Score first we win

Disagree. If Manure score first, we win. Hoping Pep has them taking penalties in training. Yes it can go to extra time.

Hopefully Pep won't instruct the team to let them score first as part of his tactical masterplan.

Changing the laws of the competition as they go along. Either the whole competition plays with VAR or none at all.

Nothing has changed, and it isn't possible to have VAR at every ground in every round just like goal line technology is not available. We could have lost our last match there if it wasn't for VAR.

An FA cup first round game only had one linesman in the 2nd half as 2 officials were injured. Maybe play all matched like that to make it fair.

Well, well, well ... if this doesn’t motivate them further what will?

(referring to scousers losing to Saints 1-0 tonight)

I think this game has become more important than a normal league cup semi. If we play these off the park it will ruin their confidence and I can see them dropping off in the league. We need a big performance.

Utd will probably win on penalties ... and I don't mean after a drawn game.

How good would it be if we beat the rags with a dubious penalty

Not in my lifetime, as a horrible **** once said

Not sure if this is the right forum but, we need to sort out Kevin's contract and give him what he wants. Reports are that he is not happy with his first offer from the club.

That’s made me think of something. I’ve watched City for 45 years and I can only remember one penalty against United, that Vassell missed. There must have been others surely?
