    Don't be melodramatic. Rashford (in particular), Lingard and Sanchez all also regularly do that.

    sanchez hasnt done that since he got here. All he wants to do is drift inside and try and chipped pass through the middle. Lingard can barely keep the ball while dribbling it seems. Rashford somewhat tries that but up top he generally is busy making runs that nobody plays him in to.

    or maybe i just appreciate literally the only attacker we have that actually tries to take a man on and beat him?

    Both Sanchez and Pogba do this on numerous occasions during the game.

    Martial, for all his undoubted dribbling ability, often finds himself running in to brick walls. His decision making needs some serious work.

    There's so much here that's wrong I'm not even sure where to start. Agree to disagree.

    Mourinho on how United will line up
    Mourinho was asked who will replace Romelu Lukaku as the main striker, he told Sky:

    “Both. We have changed all the three [forward] players - Lingard, Lukaku and Alexis. Everybody is asking about the players when they are not playing. Today, they are all playing. They are three attacking players with freedom.”

    That's just not true.

    The only reason De Gea started the semi final was because Romero was injured.

    I know. Romero would most definitely had started against Spurs if he was available. But since he wasn't and Degea started, add the fact that De gea is chasing an EPL golden glove, he would probably go on for the rest of the season.
    Romero would probably need a game to get him up to speed for the final since he hasn't kept goal for a long time now and there's no chance anymore.
    I doubt he would play again till next season.

    If he doesn't it will be cause of Fellaini and Darmian.

    Fe.kin hell.

    jesus h christ man. Maybe i am saying that we have some non creative players in there. Where the hell did i say it would be because of them? Is anybody serious excited to see those 2 names in there? fekin hell
     
    Fellaini is technically better than most people acknowledge. He is far from being as clumsy with the ball as many claim.

    Surely Conte will start with Courtois? It's the final after all. But i'm not so sure about Jose

    I don't think so. Caballero started every cup game he wasn't injured for including league cup semis against Arsenal.

    Courtois' form has been not that good this season either so Caballero would probably do better for them.

    Doesn't De Gea only need one more clean sheet to secure it? At least that is what I remember reading. If we get one tonight, he's won it.

    agree to disagree there. Maybe only because people have such a low opinion on his technical ability would he have a better technical ability. Ive seen the game here and there we i think man fellaini is actually pretty good. But that is completely overshadowed by the more numerous times he looks so slow and untalented on the ball.
     
    Sky Sports reporter: Who (among the three forwards) is the number nine today?

    Jose: All of them. We have three attacking players with the freedom to interchange.


    I've been saying this for a while. I noticed Sanchez and Martial, whenever they have played together, have always rotated wings.

    He's two ahead of Ederson with three games left. If he keeps a clean sheet tonight, he will be guaranteed of winning, but Ederson will still have a chance of sharing it with him.

    I LOVE the thought of this taking place on the pitch. Like a dream come true.

    I think people have a negative mindset about Fellaini and that overshadows his assets. Don't get me wrong, I will sell him if that's the only way of getting a different type of midfield player but I honestly think he is far from being as bad as people make out and if I don't have to sell him to get other midfielders, I will certainly keep him.
     
    Woke up, saw Fellaini in the starting lineup, might aswell just go to sleep again. Why do Mourinho drop Herrera who’s been very good lately? Way to reward the players doing good.

    For me we cant talk about lacking the quality to catch city then keep bringing back that lack of quality in midfield. Use mctominay as a defensive guy and find that creative midfielder to bring in.
