Obviously City was going to win, can people stop wetting themselves over Haaland, this is a Utd forum not a City one,
You tell em!Obviously City was going to win, can people stop wetting themselves over Haaland, this is a Utd forum not a City one,
Thats because Arsenal arent that good. I still maintain their League position is them overachieving. They showed near enough no fight in any of the cups and it would be damn near hilarious if they fail to win the league. But, if they get a few injuries to key players, they will fold. They've been very lucky with injuries so far.This City team is so much better than Arsenal.
They beat Fleetwood (in injury time).How did Burnley get to the Quarter Finals?
The same City that scored 99 goals without him last season? Yeah I don't think that would be a huge problem for them.I know we’ve done it this season at old Trafford but how on earth can haaland be stopped? He’s actually in frightening form! If he gets injured though city have no one to replace his goals.
They're having a great season, to be fair. They're gonna win the Championship, where they've so far only lost twice.How did Burnley get to the Quarter Finals?
Very sure Alvarez would put in enough goals as well.The same City that scored 99 goals without him last season? Yeah I don't think that would be a huge problem for them.
It's also a great football forum and there are great players to respect and think of because they make the game entertaining. Yes, most dislike and hate their clubs as should be, but can't deny great players are great players.Obviously City was going to win, can people stop wetting themselves over Haaland, this is a Utd forum not a City one,
Why aren't they putting up more of a fight then? Intimidation seems to be playing a big part here as well.They're having a great season, to be fair. They're gonna win the Championship, where they've so far only lost twice.
Usually by beating the opponent they were playingHow did Burnley get to the Quarter Finals?
They did in the first half. They refuse to compromise on their principles and when that happens sometimes you get a bit of a hiding.Why aren't they putting up more of a fight then? Intimidation seems to be playing a big part here as well.
All that and then they just bend over for City.Usually by beating the opponent they were playing
They lacked too much quality to be real challenge, especially when Man City are on it. They tried all they could, it was simply too much for them.All that and then they just bend over for City.
That was last season. They’ve not been at their best completely this season. Haaland probably has about 90% of there goals this season.The same City that scored 99 goals without him last season? Yeah I don't think that would be a huge problem for them.
Why? if United win I'd prefer the semi final line up to be Brighton v City and Man United v Sheff United or Blackburn.If we beat Fulham I hope we get City in the semi.
Early final. We know City is the biggest threat. There is no positive difference in losing in final or semi. Rather meet the biggest contender early. If we lose, then it save us an extra game from the thick schedule.Why? if United win I'd prefer the semi final line up to be Brighton v City and Man United v Sheff United or Blackburn.
But they'll be bottom 5 in the Prem.They're having a great season, to be fair. They're gonna win the Championship, where they've so far only lost twice.
Brighton will be tough to beat whoever they face. If United are to reach the semi final and draw City it would be this schedule (thanks but no thanks)Early final. We know City is the biggest threat. There is no positive difference in losing in final or semi. Rather meet the biggest contender early. If we lose, then it save us an extra game from the thick schedule.
However, if we beat City in semi, then we almost have one hand on the Cup heading into final.
The alternative is FA Cup final close to potential EL final.Brighton will be tough to beat whoever they face. If United are to reach the semi final and draw City it would be this schedule (thanks but no thanks)
April 20th - Sevilla (A)
April 23rd - City in the Fa Cup semi final
April 27th - Tottenham (A)
You say that now but it might be different by the time that game actually comes around.Even losing to Tottenham, doesn't make or break our top 4 finish chance.
They had a better chance this time last season.City have a very decent chance of the treble.
It may, but very unlikely to go tits up for us because Brighton, Newcastle, Liverpool, Tottenham all play against each other or against tough oppositions (Arsenal, City, Chelsea)prior/during/around this period.You say that now but it might be different by the time that game actually comes around.
I think they'll be mostly distracted and somewhat complacent v Brighton if paired with them in the semi final. They'll be focused for a Manchester Derby and can and probably rotate without weakening the teamThe alternative is FA Cup final close to potential EL final.
Brighton is decent, but they're no where to be afraid of. They're tough to beat, but they're beatable. We're talking about cup game here. They can't just play for draw.
Similarly Sevilla right now is not a team that you would need a lesser team in FA Cup semi to get a breather.
Edit:
Manchester City would have Bayern second leg; then us, then Arsenal if we're to meet in semi. If you ask me, we have a better chance to mess their season/Treble ambition this way, even if we're to bow out of FA Cup. Even losing to Tottenham, doesn't make or break our top 4 ambition. Unlike City's potential title decider game against Arsenal. City may be distracted in FA Cup, we would be in better position to beat them in FA Cup semi, than in final.
Exactly this.Early final. We know City is the biggest threat. There is no positive difference in losing in final or semi. Rather meet the biggest contender early. If we lose, then it save us an extra game from the thick schedule.
However, if we beat City in semi, then we almost have one hand on the Cup heading into final.
They wont get through Bayern and then Real Madrid. If they do they could also get Napoli then in the final. I dont think they get the CL. And also its probably up to us to stop them winning the FA Cup.City have a very decent chance of the treble.
We will only have ourselves to blame if this comes to pass.City have a very decent chance of the treble.
I think we should feel free to blame Arsenal and City's Champions League opponents as well.We will only have ourselves to blame if this comes to pass.
Thing is though, the real treble doesn't belong to Arsenal, it's gonna hurt us the most if they get it.I think we should feel free to blame Arsenal and City's Champions League opponents as well.
Really, blaming Arsenal is never wrong.
Exactly.Why? if United win I'd prefer the semi final line up to be Brighton v City and Man United v Sheff United or Blackburn.
Yes exactly. Some need reminding hereObviously City was going to win, can people stop wetting themselves over Haaland, this is a Utd forum not a City one,
Arsenal should win the league.City have a very decent chance of the treble.
