It didn't annoy City last year having extra games

Ah, but last year they were fresher after as they had not won the treble the year before.

Not just no hope but could be facing record FA Cup final defeat. Didn't City beat Watford 6-0 recently in a FA Cup final?
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

There is no stay of execution for ten hag. He will be gone after thr cup final like LVG. Even if utd do win it. Ratcliffe expression at 3-2 said it all. How bad are Liverpool, played that united team 3 times this season and couldn't beat them.

Quote from: From the Bunker on April 21, 2024, 06:56:18 PMUnited only lost by 2-1 in last years final. It's a one off game and maybe some of their players who have been jogging around the pitch for the last 9 months might decide to put in a shift. It is the chance to win a FA Cup winners medal after all. There is still some value to it.

The bad news for Utd is City are out of the Champions League. Those 3 games of distraction would have been a help.
There is value as winning the FA Cup will likely be needed to reach the Europa league instead of the conference league.

Last year was a United team that finished 3rd in the Premier League with a lot less injuries and had already won a cup final.

Going into this upcoming final with a back line like today with Maguire, Casemiro at centre back and no natural left back then City will score for fun.

As for today no other top eight team in the Premier League would be 3-0 up against Coventry with 70 minutes played and then need a shoot out to progress that's as much on that group of players than anything else.

Today's collapse is on thr manager.
He isn't up to the task. Same man lost a CL SF at Ajax being 3 up against Spurs. That should've been enough to steer clear. If by chance utd win the cup ten hag will still be gone.

Ah look you can blame Ten Hag for a lot of things but conceding 3 in 20 mins to a championship team is on the men on the field.
