Who's going to be the hero tomorrow?

[Irwin99]

And by hero, I mean the MOTM and/or possibly the winning goalscorer? Obviously the whole team needs to play a blinder but what legend will be born tomorrow as the guy who stopped City winning the Treble? Sancho or Weghorst would be very funny (the former is not beyond the realms of possibility but the latter would probably be the funniest thing of all time and he'd be a legend forever ).

Thinking positively, who do you think is going to be key for us to win this and why?

 

[pascell]

The hero will be the referee.

 

[Irwin99]

The hero will be the referee.

You mean like 4 red cards issued to City players for violent conduct (and also one for Casemiro obviously)? I'll take that.

Well Weghorst to win the FA Cup and Dzeko (with a header in the 94th minute) to win the Champions League would be karma if you believe they have cheated their way to the top.... typical City? But I can't see it myself.

 

[2 man midfield]

De Bruyne

 

[mu4c_20le]

VAR

 

[Cee90]

Garnacho, obviously.

 

[LawCharltonBest]

If there’s to be a hero it’ll be Rashford

Need him on his game tomorrow

[Canuckred64]

Maguire. Heads it in from a corner in the 89th minute a few minutes after coming in as a sub, causing everybody to fall in love with him again and demand that he not be sold.

If that actually came to pass, I would start looking more closely at the existence of a higher power.

 

[Remember the geese]

Garnacho, obviously.

This.

 

[He'sRaldo]

Weghorst through on goal from a Maguire knockdown, then cooly slots it home. 1-0.

I like this redemption arc

 

[DJ_21]

Imagine if it’s weghorst. His last game for us. If anyones scoring the winner tomorrow it’s got to be Rashford, or maybe a Casemiro screamer. He’s been chipping in with crucial goals this season.

 

[Witchking]

De Bruyne by scoring an own goal and United winning 1-0.

 

[Todd]

I'm going to hope that Rashford is MOTM

I'm going to fear that De Bruyne or Silva or Haaland is going to be MOTM

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

I hope it is De Gea with a pen save in the shoot out. Ideally saving Haaland and KDB pens.

 

[SER19]

If the referee manages to punish Rodri like a normal, sane person, then that's heroic.

 

[AlexiV]

Rashford

 

[Chicharo]

I hope DDG will take everything they throw at him and have a memorable game.
Then Rashy or Garnacho to score a winner

 

[GL21]

1 nil....rashford

 

[altodevil]

Wout - nil

 

[tentan]

Haaland of course.

 

[SAFMUTD]

Its going to be Rashford. Screamer from outside the box around the 70' and we hold to our lives until the final whistle.

 

[Edwards6]

Weghorst, 2-1 in extra time

 

[bond19821982]

Maguire. Heads it in from a corner in the 89th minute a few minutes after coming in as a sub, causing everybody to fall in love with him again and demand that he not be sold.

If that happens, I will excuse everything and he can stay here as a captain.

 

[Sky1981]

I'm going to hedge serious money on City beating us.

Whoever wins i win

City win : new PS5 for me

 

[al tuna]

Would love to see Garnacho play the match of his life

Bannable offense this.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

It's time Weghorst. This is what you've been training for all season.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

In terns of goals, other than Rashford, we don't really have any players who consistently score in big games.

Off the ball, I'm hoping Fred can keep De Bruyne quiet like he did for the game at Old Trafford, other than the one time he lost him, which resulted in a goal by Grealish.I also have a sneaky feeling ten Hag could play Shaw as a centre back, as he kept Haaland so quiet, and he's the only player who seems to have the speed and strength to compete with Haaland.

On the ball, I'm hoping Bruno uses the ball well. We'll have chances to counter. Its crucial we pick the right pass at the right time.

Be a tough game, but you wouldn't expect anything less in a final.

Give it all we have and see what happens!

 

[Stobzilla]

Bannable offense this.

Nah, a really old poster from years back used to advocate for this, there is precedent.

Think it is genius myself.

 

[Mr Pigeon]

Casemiro.

The guy didn't have to leave Real Madrid. He could have easily stayed there and competed, and maybe lost, for his DM position there whilst still picking up a hefty paycheck. But he didn't, because he's a serial winner. He doesn't want the easy achievements, he wants to earn them.

He'll fecking smash City tomorrow with the fury of a million angry chipmunk faced bastards.

Note; couldn't find the Case thread so I've just altered my thoughts to make it work here.

He's been victorious in each of his last nine finals. (hopefully that will become ten)

4x UEFA Champions League
3x FIFA Club World Cup
1x Copa del Rey
1x League Cup

 

[Cantonagotmehere]

Varane with the header.

 

[USREDEVIL]

I hope it's not the whistle.

Ok being positive. RASHFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bondi77]

Big Dave having a blinder if we are going to win...fecking obvious!

 

[(...)]

Surprised to not see more people saying the obvious one : Sancho.
Given his history with City, his troubles this season, it would be perfect for him to finish on a high note and get back on track to fulfill his potential.
