Coventry City 3:3 Manchester United

El-Manos · Apr 13, 2024

We’re very bad at the moment. Not confident at all. Start 3 in midfield anyway first of all.

We're gonna make this really tough for ourselves. Remember when this team fecked a 2-0 lead to Newport County?

I'm trying to remember how often United have made matches easy for themselves over the last decade? Another expected slog but hopefully a win as the last thing this truly depressing season needs is for FA cup semi final exit in Wembley to a 8th place championship club.

For people thinking we should easily win this...I have news for you, we wont! ETH side aren't capable of winning games comfortably.

Big chance for Coventry.

I think we had enough to get up for this game and get to the final easily but if we have to field 3 fullbacks in defence again we could find it difficult.

Sure, that's the reason we could find it difficult.

It’s far from the biggest shock ever . If I was a gambling man I’d take a £20 bet on Coventry

I think he meant that we will win and play good football - surely that will be the biggest shock ever

Utd heap · Apr 14, 2024

It will have a few bumpy moments but the big pitch and our attacking options will get us through.

3-1 Utd.

Annihilate Now! · Apr 14, 2024

I mean even we can win better here.

Bet we make really hard work of it though.

Oh, please do go on....

In case you didn't get the context I'm talking about an extra issue, not "the" reason.

freddie the red · Apr 14, 2024

With Mark Robins supposedly (not true but it makes a good story) saving SAF's job back in 1990, what price the very same man costs the current incumbent his job?

GregM40 · Apr 14, 2024

They must be licking their lips.

mitchmouse · Apr 14, 2024

Surely even we can't f*ck this up.... either 5-0 to us or 0-1 to them

V.O. · Apr 14, 2024

They've just been pumped by a team that will probably be playing in League One next year.

So yeah, we'll make them look like Brazil 1970 and just barely scrape past them by the odd spawny goal.

A 7/2 shot for Coventry to win?

Laurencio · Apr 14, 2024

We should walk this, but I think it might be closer than anyone would like.

lex talionis · Apr 14, 2024

Hopefully we can manage a draw.

USREDEVIL · Apr 14, 2024

Old Trafford of the South.

Garnacho brace. Onana howler
2-1

DRJosh · Apr 14, 2024

I rather we get surprised by Coventry than torn to shreds by Man City.

United keeping a clean sheet and winning the match comfortably?

peridigm · Apr 14, 2024

We lose this and that will be it for ETH. I reckon it's the only thing keeping him in the job at this point.

CallyRed · Apr 14, 2024

We're on the pitch if we concede less than 15 shots at goal

didz · Apr 15, 2024

We're gonna absolutely smash them 3-0 in the penalty shootout

OverratedOpinion · Apr 15, 2024

Will be an extremely tough game.

No idea how good Coventry are, every game is just tough for us.

Single digit shots conceded

Coventry City in the FA Cup this season

Quarter final - 3-2 away win against Wolves. 24 shots and 12 on target they had in that match
5th round - 5-0 home win against Maidstone. 26 shots and 15 on target.
4th round - 1-1 away against Sheffield Wednesday. 17 shots and 4 on target
4th round replay - 4-1 home win against Sheffield Wednesday. 17 shots and 7 on target
3rd round - 6-2 home win against Oxford. 27 shots and 11 on target

Annihilate Now! · Apr 15, 2024

I have to be somewhere at 6:30pm on Sunday, so I full imagine we'll take this one to ET just to spite me.

Betson · Apr 15, 2024

They will get a lot of chances and probably win the midfield battle but we should still come through although making it look harder than it should be.

Offside · Apr 15, 2024

Even if we win, if we’re getting outplayed in the usual way there should be a scientific study into what’s going on.

AngeloHenriquez · Apr 15, 2024

They are only 3/1 to qualify and only 19/4 to win in 90 minutes, that says everything.

yamo123x · Apr 15, 2024

Time for a few lazy feckers and underperformers to sit on the bench. Hojlund has been pants since his injury. Would like to see Bruno as a fake 9 and a strong midfield that can dominate the game....

ONANA

KAMBWALA EVANS MAGUIRE DALOT

MAINOO AMRABAT
ERIKSEN

When the draw was made shortly after we had defeated Liverpool, I was in high spirits and was sure that we would win.

A month and zero wins later, and I know think that there’s a realistic chance of us losing.

Of course there is, Coventry knocked Wolves out and played some very nice football. Utd need to play as if they are playing Liverpool otherwise it’s a City v Coventry final.

Hojlund is so weak at holding the ball up, he gets tackled very easily he so easily gets pushed off the ball his control and first time touch is appalling, basically I do not see a PL player when I look at him.
What the hell did our scouts, Hag see in him?

Were you living under a rock for his form before the injury? Young players are inconsistent, which is why it's daft to expect him to lead the line for a club like Manchester United without an experienced striker alongside.

Spark · Apr 15, 2024

They lost 3-0 to Birmingham on Saturday, which I believe is a shockingly shit result.

Tough 1-0 win for United.

Oh dear another one with rose tinted glasses. How many games did play before he scored?
Just because he is young doesn’t excuse his lack of strength and lack of ball control. He runs around a bit I’ll give you that he always looks like he’s sweating a lot but the basics of ball control and actually trying to keep possession of the ball he sadly lacks, let alone actually putting the ball in the back of the net which sadly he looks like he has forgotten how to do since that injury.

BorisManUtd · Apr 15, 2024

We haven't won a game of football for like a month so not going into this in great mood.

Onana, Dalot, Maguire, Evans, AWB, Casemiro, Mainoo, Bruno, Garnacho, Rashford, Hojlund.

This could be it. He won't drop Casemiro or Rashford surely. Players like Mount, McTominay to get some minutes in 2nd half. Who knows, perhaps it'll even go to extra time.

Wrecking ralf · Apr 15, 2024

Drop any player that doesn’t have a future here. People seem to be downing tools before the season is out. We should prioritise playing people who want to work for the team and who we plan on keeping.
