Fernandihno in as a striker, only for fullbacks to put crosses in and have your centerbacks to take pot shots from 25yards. No wonder Arsenal are making the defending look easy.
It would be stupid for them to buy Sancho. They need a new CB and a new CF to replace Aguero. Foden and Bernardo Silva looks to replace David Silva.Just had a look at City’s bench. Can’t think of anyone on there that can change a game other than Bernardo Silva.
I think selling Sané was a mistake. Unless they’re planning to get Sancho in.

This is not a foregone conclusionTomorrow just became the FA Cup Final effectively. Whoever wins that will win the FA Cup
We won't stop hearing Ole out here for a few months.Imagine if Arteta wins the cup.
He rose from the dead after being crucified.
Exactly. Silva was dreadful. In general City had no answers for Arsenal's shape. If they did game would have ended 5-2City fans blaming Mendy when their attack has done feck all
Great player but always seems to bottle it in the big games for me. Maybe I'm mistaken but I couldn't say he's the sort who would carry the team through.De Bruyne has been levels above his teammates for City this season. Not quite a one man team but it’s got to be a big concern for them.
I thought I'd nailed it.You'll get crucified for puns like that
Ask Pontius Pilate
It would be a tight match if we make it to the final.I think our front 3 would tear this Arsenal side apart. City just hoofing hopeful balls into midgets. It was too easy for them to sit back and defend.
Time for another billion to be spent?Would say this City team look done. Time for a rebuild.
They’ll probably pass on Kane and Neymar due to injury history. Cavani is a good shout but might be too old. Also can’t see Mourinho giving up a star man to Pep. Someone said Ferran Torres has been linked? Personally think Haaland and Sancho would give this City team a massive lift and a completely different dimension. 200mil for both probably but FFP is no longer relevant right.It would be stupid for them to buy Sancho. They need a new CB and a new CF to replace Aguero. Foden and Bernardo Silva looks to replace David Silva.
Whether it be Kane, Cavani on a free, Martinez, Neymar, whatever. Aguero's heir will be critical in City's future success because Jesus is not going to win them anything no matter how good KDB, Bernardo Silva, Foden, Mahrez, etc are.
The media are going to write clickbait stuff regardless of what happens. Fans of other clubs are going to deride United regardless of what happens. All that matters is our own progression. Once we get back into Europe, which would signal a definite improvement in terms of league finishing from last season, that's all that matters for us. Frank or Arteta winning an FA cup means very little in the grand scheme of things. Added to that, we still have a great chance to win the Europa league, which is a more valuable trophy IMO.Christ Arteta or Lampard are going to win a trophy before Ole aren't they and you can then just imagine what will be written
Defended like Rio vs barcaDavid Luiz was phenomenal.
What did he do today?De Bruyne has been levels above his teammates for City this season. Not quite a one man team but it’s got to be a big concern for them.
Mendy is a easy scapegoatCity fans blaming Mendy when their attack has done feck all
Maguire has played every minute and looked knocked out for a while last match. AWB was leggy as fook, probably his worst game for us. Pogba and Rashford are also playing a lot having come back from injuries, Matic cannot do more than a game a week if he's to be effective. I don't mind Dave playing, but Romero owns the cup games I guess. All these lads need resting. I don't even want to see them on the bench. It's not about disrespecting the FA Cup, it's the painfully obvious fact that we've got too many must-win games in too short a period, with no real quality depth.i had strongly advocated we rest entire first XI tomorrow in match thread but think Arsenal in final is too good an opportunity to resist.
maybe play DDG, AWB, Maguire, Matic, Pogba and Rashford and fill in around that.
