Manchester City 1:2 Manchester United

NICanRed · May 20, 2024

I am surprised that no-one seems to have come up with a "115 charges'" song/chant for special occasions like this.
Get the United fans singing this at Wembley for 30-90 mins and someone has to take notice.

UAE in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons
With all the money they got…
115 Blue Balloons go by

Onana
Varane - Evans - Martinez
AWB - Casemiro - Mainoo - Dalot
Amad - Hojlund - Garnacho

Hope for the best. Expect the worst.

No Bruno

if you wanted to start experimenting with a back 3 in a cup final, then you could've easily opted for benching Evans, playing Casemiro where he's been playing for the past few weeks and starting Bruno. I almost admire the stubbornness.

LawCharltonBest · May 20, 2024

I still personally find it unfair that UAE employee Michael Oliver is the VAR man again

It’s obvious that if city need a boost, hell supply it. Like he did while on VAR in the league fixture, giving them a penalty for literally nothing.

Our win rate over about 11/12 years with him refereeing our games is 39%. Sorry but it’s clear something is amiss with him

I don't think it can save this season. It's been a lot worse than the 60 points suggests.

It would simply give it a nice ending. A bonus.

I don’t think that it can save the season either. All I meant was that if we made Europa thanks to winning the cup then it won’t be a disastrous season like it currently looks like

mitchmouse · May 20, 2024

I'm less interested in winning a trophy than I am of qualifying for the Europa: we'll need the money from the competition plus it's the most likely route right now into the CL. Of course one can't come without the other...

... and neither is coming. One last humiliation incoming: City don't need to worry about a CL final this year

United winning will be a bigger shock than Wigan over City in 2013.

Stop ffs

Wigan went down that season. We've been sh*t this season but us beating City is nowhwere near being bigger than Wigan in 2013

I’m more confident for this game now than I was a week ago, but still expecting a loss

No Bruno? Are you feeling ok?

When have you seen Amad sh1t his pants? He's cool as a cucumber

Exactly. I rate him highly and see no reason not to start him v City.

padzilla · May 20, 2024

They'll be going for (11)5 in a row next season.

I'd wager odds-wise he's not too off.

On Flashscore it says that the pre-odds for that game back in 2013 at Bet365 was 9.50 on Wigan.

Right now it's 8.00 if we win it.

Cantonagotmehere · May 20, 2024

Any chance Maguire plays?

No idea who we put with Martinez? Casemiro as a middie or CB is worth a couple goals for them.

Bruno should play. But starting just Mainoo in CM would be disastrous. You can't expect Casemiro to cover CM and CB, and Bruno doesn't offer enough cover.

That's why I think he'll go with Bruno as a false 9 with a midfield 3 of Casemiro, Amrabat and Mainoo.

Big Andy · May 20, 2024

Martial off the bench to score the winner.

Red_toad · May 20, 2024

Be good if we had Shaw back, but near enough Ten Hag's best starting 11 available.
Let's hope City continue to celebrate their tainted 4 in a row.

Nice. It will be as plastic as the other times.

padzilla · May 20, 2024

I do hope we see some tactical plan from ETH rather than send out the same formation and hope we miraculously get a victory.
Even Ole was able to adapt a tactic that got under City's skin.

NLunited · May 21, 2024

We need a song about the 115 charges, baldd fraud Pep and work in Oliver too.

Heck can we fly a plane with banner over the stadium?

Think it's a bigger game for Eth than the club.

Journalist continually assimilating that INEOS will make a decision on proceedings after the final, in some ways it's a game that determines Erik's employment.

I believe that's the line they have been fed but Ten Hag fate has already been decided and I don't believe this game changes anything even If we win

Ten Hag is done here .

tenpoless · May 21, 2024

Shitteh: Never adored, always ignored. Congrats for how many times is it again? what did they win again? in fact I forgot what I was about to congratulate about now. All I know is blue ketchup, bald manager, fabricated fossil oriented success, fake club with no history (artificially created like dubai), and empty stadium.

If INEOS are deciding ETH future based on how this FA Cup final goes then they aren't much of upgrade on the Glazers and their business men buddies who made the football decisions over the last decade. It should be known right now who will be managing United next season and if it's a new manager the club should make no delays in appointing him.

A cup final cannot determine whether you keep your job or not and turning into prime Barca for the game shouldn't be a guarantee Ten Hag keeps his job. What about the other games during the season where we looked like we were battling relegation. This makes zero sense.

Smells like tabloid BS to me all for clicks.

I have a feeling Garnacho won't be starting this. I think it'll be Rashford in place of him.

Playing Rashford is tempting but also very risky.

He's got the quality to create something out of nothing, but on the other hand, City will exploit any space he leaves behind him when he doesn't track back or press properly.

I have a feeling ETH will stick with Garnacho and bring on Rashford if the game is getting stretched. United's best chance is in somehow scrapping to half time and bringing on Rashford to take advantage of any swift counters. United need to stick with the more solid structure they have had in the last few games.

We know what City will do. Patient passing looking for a lapse in concentration.
United can not play them at their own game.
We have to counter attack at high speed... but not give the ball away. Both Garnacho and Rashford can be guilty of that.

DRJosh · May 21, 2024

This could be a bloodbath - I just hope we play like we care. That would be a “win” for me,

Agreed. We’re kings of unforced errors. Playing it out from the back will be suicidal against this City team.

Giggsy13 · May 21, 2024

I would venture to guess that the same people expecting a lopsided defeat were the same people who were certain Liverpool would embarrass us at OT. Have some faith FFS, it’s a cup final and anything can happen. The one silver lining of ten Hag’s tenure has been his willingness to take risks in setting in cup competitions and it has mostly worked out judging by the fact he’s reached 3 finals in 2 years.

AngeloHenriquez · May 21, 2024

Hopefully ETH doesn't want to give Marcus a platform in this game to prove to everybody he is still capable and start him as I don't think he warrants it.

downxandxout · May 21, 2024

Feel like neither of us deserve to be in a final for very different reasons.

One, two, three, four, five
Everybody on the take, nowhere to hide
To the prison around the corner
City tried to keep it secret
But the judge really don't wanna
Be a bust like we never seen
I must stay deep because talk is cheap

A little bit of fraud in my life
A little bit of tax evasion by my side
A little bit of misdirection all I need
A little bit of litigation what I see
A little bit of stalling in the sun
A little bit of cheating all night long
A little bit of panic, here I am
A little bit of jail time makes me your man (ah)

Red Dreams · May 21, 2024

flood the midfield

GregM40 · May 21, 2024

It’ll be 4-2-2-2 with split strikers, same as Brighton and Newcastle, I’m just not too sure who’ll start up next to Bruno.

neon_badger · May 21, 2024

Call me petty but the fact they're having a trophy parade on Sunday really adds to my desire to win this, hopefully God unleashes another storm on them.
