Manchester Senior Cup Final

I think we should field a fringe first team and try to reverse the 6-1 ;)
 
Manchester City vs Manchester United.

Thursday night. 7pm KO.

Can't think of a better way to end the season that's in it other than by handing the elite squad their arses.

Funny, I can think of at least one.

Fancy ours to do well. Good side, plenty of talent.
 
United squad; Ben Amos, Sam Johnstone; Marnick Vermijl, Michele Fornasier, Reece Brown, Scott Wotton, Michael Keane, Ezekiel Fryers, Luke Giverin; Paul Pogba, Ryan Tunnicliffe, Tom Thorpe, Davide Petrucci, Jesse Lingard, Robbie Brady; Will Keane.

No Larnell Cole :(

I recognise the name Gai Assulin. Rekik and Suarez sound familiar too.

Is the Mancini lad on the bench related to Roberto?
 
Elabdellaoui, Scapuzzi, Rekik, Wabara, Assulin, Tse.

Imagine Paddy Crerand now.

Roberto's son who did a Tevez in September.

Roberto Mancini's row with Carlos Tevez took a remarkable twist when it emerged his son refused to come on as a substitute for Manchester City.

Filippo Mancini stunned coach Andy Welsh when he ignored his instructions 10 minutes from time against Liverpool reserves on August 10.

Mancini's youngest son Andrea had already come on for the Elite Development Squad as a second-half substitute when the amazing incident took place at Hyde United's stadium.

Welsh ordered Filippo to come on in the pre-season friendly, but the Italian refused and watched the rest of the game from the sidelines.
 
That is an excellent team on our side. Expecting a lot from that. Pogba, Tunnicliffe, Petrucci, Brady - all very talented and experienced at this level.
 
:lol: Paddy..I had a few words to Pogba (at the awards) but I wont say what I said about Juventus because it wont go down well"
 
Few chances fallen to Brady who has scuffed em. Nothing too clear so far.

City are very, very dull. Super slow build up, about half a dozen passes in their own half before even looking up.
 
Good cross in by Petrucci, shame it didn't come to anything.

Good play earlier on by Lingard as well to keep hold of the ball.
 
Good position for a free kick after Brady is fouled...
 
Brady has come close a couple of times now....that was a nice idea with the chip.
 
Bad keeping from the city keeper too..
