Manchester City 1:2 Manchester United

Parma Dewol · May 25, 2024

That ball from Bruno to Mainoo was pure filth.

He’s often lambasted for his theatrics and rightly so, smut like that pass has no place on a football field. There are kids watching ffs.

Lay · May 25, 2024

I'd love to see Amad on at some point to add some more composure.

Who's Kissing Cameras? · May 25, 2024

God we need to replace Varane perfectly.

Mainoo will be world class inside three years

Exactly right.

WouterWeghorst · May 25, 2024

Licha and Bruno are the building blocks for this United. Mainoo too, with him, Garna and some other youngsters having a big role to play in the future.

Licha just puts his teammates in the right places. It's like having an on-field coach, which is great. Please stay fit, and we'll enjoy next season a lot more.

Going to be a long 45 mins.

Daydreamer · May 25, 2024

What a first half performance; you’re playing with a midfield and look like such a cohesive unit.

kouroux · May 25, 2024

We have scored some brilliant goals this season:
Garnacho's overhead
Bruno's volley
Rashford in the league derby
Mainoo in the final

Dr Foo · May 25, 2024

Back to our template from last season, at least with the Varane Martinez pairing back. And a dose of Ole ball back. Everyone playing well of course. That’s all we want against top class opposition.

It’s either mind boggling or somewhat noble, the stubbornness EtH has shown this season to stick to his dysfunctional high press system which doesn’t suit the players available

Yeah.

And Mainoo on a yellow so will have to be careful.

Aww, how sweet of you.

Keep compact, hitting them on the counter and Mainoo has to be careful on a yellow.

Could probably see him off for Erikson if we change for Hojlund and Amad. Pinging passes when City are high up the pitch chasing the game?

I think Rooney needs a bigger chair than Micah.

Richards as the lead pundit is quite annoying. Seems a top guy but the confidence he has in spouting either nonsense or the most basic of analysis is grating.

Kaos · May 25, 2024

Shame we weren't ever in the conversation for Rice. A midfield of him Mainoo and Bruno would have been a joy to watch.

Oh well, hope our new footballing setup scouts the next gem for that holding role.

Sandikan · May 25, 2024

Right, phone off, superb position but we know what we can be like and what we're up against.

Fingers crossed and meet back here in hopefully 50mins and as we are now.

Walters_19_MuFc · May 25, 2024

PoTMS said:
Maybe, just maybe. 12 months contract?

Nah. He's still a top defender but not someone we can rely on all season.

Go and replace him with a top class centre back.

He also thought Bruno's pass was a mishit

Craig Burley, certified moron.

George Owen · May 25, 2024

They will bring Doku and he will give us problems with his direct pace.

Please AWB give your 100% to stop him!!

So he can play 30% of the season, amirite?

kouroux · May 25, 2024

All those journos didn't have a 0-2 in their script

Yeah he only really works as comic relief, his actual analysis leaves a lot to be desired.

elmo · May 25, 2024

A healthy pairing of Varane and Martinez would have made our season so much different.

He’s on the right. He naturally looks up more in that position.

His best form has been that side all season.

Lash · May 25, 2024

Hojlund and Amad off the bench will be fantastic and something we've not had all season!

Our structure since the Arsenal game has been far better and just makes ETH look so bad for his decision to continue to be so open for most of the season.

100%

If we park the bus, we can contain him

Judas · May 25, 2024

This will be so unbelievably crushing if City come back and win this, and we know they're more than capable of doing it, and we're more than capable of throwing it away :lol:

This is going to be pure stress.

Flying_Heckfish · May 25, 2024

Absolutely crucial not to concede early we must be switched on from the start of the half. We've shot ourselves in the foot a few times this season by losing concentration

Fooza · May 25, 2024

City going to go up 2-3 gears second half, don't get your hopes up yet, we need to go up more gears

D. Grayson · May 25, 2024

Same thing in the second half, compact and keep the wingers up the high.

It’s his fitness not his ability. Need to get someone reliable with similar strengths.

There are probably fewer that five human beings on the planet who have similar strengths as Raphael Varane. Keep him and bring in a superior CB than Maguire and Lindelof to slot in when Varane is out. Sorted.

RedIan · May 25, 2024

ETH has to get the subs right if anyone tires. Right now it as you were.
come on you reds !

Walters_19_MuFc · May 25, 2024

Doku and Akanji on

Kaos · May 25, 2024

City will go for it now which should leave them quite open. You'd think its perfectly setup for Rashford to grab one on the break.

Ibi Dreams · May 25, 2024

Probably more likely to make defensive subs, if we're still winning anyway

This surely helps his contract talks with the Saoudi's, doesn't it?

DrRodo · May 25, 2024

They really miss de bruyne? Is he injured or something? Why hasnt he showed up to the field today?
