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