🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - SOON 2024/2025

[SatoPrincess]

Manchester City 1 - 0 Chelsea FC

It was a complicated game for Manchester City, but once again Manchester City showed that they are the best team in England. Now you have to wait for tomorrow's game. In my opinion, if Manchester City's opponent is Manchester United, then we will have a very good final

I was eager to see if Manchester City would be able to recover from their Champions league loss to Real Madrid a few days. And tonight they once again displayed their class. The fans will be pleased that they won today and will already be congratulating themselves for winning the FA cup (there is any team that can stop Manchester City in the final). Though I don’t think winning the FA cup and the premier league is much of an achievement for this Manchester City side.

Madueke and Jackson shouldn't be putting on the Chelsea jersey till the end of the season because they don't have any idea of what they're doing on the pitch and I wonder why Pochettino is starting Madueke ahead of Mudryk who have better force them Madueke, why? Like this man Pochettino is not trying his best to be the coach people see him as but a man who doesn't and can never have control over his boys, and he doesn't know what to do to make his team win.

I don’t quite agree with you when you bring Madueke to the table in this regard but, who I can very much agree with you on is N. Jackson. He wasn’t a Chelsea player tonight, he was playing for Manchester City by the look of it and he somehow managed to have played a full 90 minutes of the game, just for Manchester City. How did Pochettino not see this treasury when it’s just right in his before. How many chances can one man get before he gets to convert them to goals. Chelsea had all the chances to win this game, especially as Manchester City wasn’t playing like Manchester City and they had all of it thrown in the wind. It just makes sense why Pep is a best coach in England, he doesn’t play with opportunities and today, he took a good show from Chelsea.

Malo Gusto worked very hard in this game and the game changed when he was removed due to injury. His departure showed that he was the backbone of the Chelsea team. The two changes Chelsea made that brought in Ben Chiwel and Axel Disasi made the game waste. Jérémy Doku took advantage of the weakness of the Disasi to penetrate the Chelsea defense. The Chelsea defender was too easy for the Belgian professional footballer to dribble and out run. And this resulted to the pass he  gave to Kevin De Bruyne which resulted in the goal. Chiwel had a clear opportunity to give the pass to Raheem Sterling but held the ball for too long. Chelsea had a good game but they were not just lucky and the cause of this unfortunate loss in Jackson. With the fitness problem of Christopher Nkunku persisting, Chelsea needs a striker because Jackson is not reliable.

Madueke is not a bad start for Chelsea, on various occasions I have seen him deliver Chelsea but for Jackson he should be sold when the transfer windows are open that guy is supposed not be playing professionally, maybe he should go join the under 18 team or he should join the women Chelsea team probably we can see the best of him there. I'm always wondering what really happened to Nkunku, just 7 appearnces ( 2 starts and 5 subbed in), if it is  injury then for how long does he need to recover?. Judging from the play of Jackson Chelsea are going no where, in the Premier league no expectation of reaching the top 5 and Pochettino needs to construct the team, some of his players are not qualified to start a game, I'm not sure if any other big clubs can sign some Chelsea players I have in mind apart from Palmer, Sterling and few of them.

Personally, I don't see Jackson as a striker because he use to be on the be8in his former club before he was brought to Chelsea. A wrong substitute can make the game messy, amd aright sub can turn the game around. This was what happened in the changes that was made by Pocchitino and Pep.

Pep saw that Grelish was finding it difficult to penetrate Chelsea's defense which was giving them a problem from that wing, and he brought in Doku, who is fast and smart to penetrate through. If you look at the way City scored the winning goal, it was a connection from Doku to De Bruyne and finally to Silva, who did a good finish. Chelsea was in the game but brought themselves out of the game when those changes was made.

Though I don’t think winning the FA cup and the premier league is much of an achievement for this Manchester City side.

With Manchester City win against Chelsea in the FA Cup Semifinals, they’ve made Chelsea to go without trophy this season. With their qualification to the finals of the Emirates FA Cup, there’s 90% probability that they’ll win the cup. This is aside from the premier league they’re already leading on other teams. They can still end the season with two trophies after failing to qualify for the champions league semifinals. They did well today and the win today will compensate for their champions league exit after losing to Real Madrid in the penalty shootout. Manchester City could be called weaklings by some people this season but they’re still playing in their best form to me for them to have reach this stage in this competition.

With Manchester City win against Chelsea in the FA Cup Semifinals, they’ve made Chelsea to go without trophy this season.

Cole Palmer can now pursue the record for highest goal scorer because that is something he can still win. Erling Haaland has not been as consistent on the scoresheet as he was last season. Cole Palmer can actually outscore Haaland if he has the assistance of his team players.

Pep saw that Grelish was finding it difficult to penetrate Chelsea's defense which was giving them a problem from that wing, and he brought in Doku, who is fast and smart to penetrate through. If you look at the way City scored the winning goal, it was a connection from Doku to De Bruyne and finally to Silva, who did a good finish.

Pep is very tactical, and his changes again in a game changed the game. It is this kind of changes that Chelsea coach does not know how to make.
Manchester City have a very good chance to win another title this season that I am certain that they will take.

Chelsea have been giving Manchester City a tough time this season, and Manchester City really found Chelsea tough to beat as the season progressed. Chelsea played their home and away Premier League games, but today, I know Manchester City will do everything possible to win. The FA Cup trophy and Premier League trophy are the only trophies they have hope for now, as they were eliminated from the Champions League.So, I believe Manchester City will do anything possible to focus on these two competitions and try to win them. The chances of Manchester City winning the FA Cup are really high, but I can't give them a 90% chance of winning because if Manchester United later qualifies for the final, I don't think it will be that easy for Manchester City to win. Both teams are eager to win the trophy, and predicting the final is always difficult, especially when two big teams meet.

Chelsea was in the game but brought themselves out of the game when those changes was made.

Jack Grealish has been a total mess for his club this season,  he was more of a better player for Manchester City last season with his creativity but I see what's happening,  I see he is not ready to be the all creative player and all the ball goes to Erling Haaland he wants to score goals same way it was for him with Aston Villa. Not just in this today, he was far from good when they played against Real Madrid.
I know Pep Guardiola demands too much from his lads and they're to do as he's said.

Manchester City made it to another FA Cup finals, they would be hoping to see Manchester United winning tomorrow... it would be such a great meeting yet again same way it was last season.

Missing those chances cost them the game and also the official's of this game failed to call the penalty for chelsea. I don't know why I feel like they want to gift them all the trophy because how is that not a penalty?
Nicholas Jackson and Mauricio Pochettino cost blues this game. We could all see Thiago Silva crying after the terrible loss.

Chelsea was in the game but brought themselves out of the game when those changes was made.

For a player like Nicholas Jackson, I think it was a bad job by the Chelsea scouting team to recommend him to the club's management in the first place because his performance since the start of the season doesn't suggest that he deserves to play for the first team club of Chelsea. In a crucial game like the semi final of the English FA Cup, a striker isn't expected to miss those clear chances the Senegalese striker wasted today against Manchester City which at the end cost his team the opportunity of playing in the final of the competition.
On the other hand, Jack Grealish haven't been impressive for Manchester City this season like he was like season and if you ask me, I think his lack of impact is caused by the club manager's decision to play him in the flank rather than in the no.10 role which he was playing at Aston Villa

[Issa56]

Chelsea played very impressively in the first half, and it was like they are playing an average club. This is because they didn't struggle to play the ball, and also did not allow Manchester city to dominate the match with their pressure just like when they are playing with other clubs.

I was opportune to watch only the first half of the match, and Chelsea's performance wasn’t really bad in the first half of the match. They had some pretty opportunities in the first half of the match, I was even expecting them to score in the first half of the match, but they missed all the opportunities they had. Seriously, Chelsea gave Manchester City a difficult moment in the match, but unfortunately they couldn’t win the match.
 
Coventry will be playing against Manchester United tomorrow. Manchester United should be able to win the match, but we all know that Manchester United is full of surprises. They might end up performing poorly in the match, but I think the FA Cup final will be Manchester City vs. Manchester United.

Manchester City 1 - 0 Chelsea FC

It was a complicated game for Manchester City, but once again Manchester City showed that they are the best team in England. Now you have to wait for tomorrow's game. In my opinion, if Manchester City's opponent is Manchester United, then we will have a very good final

Everyone knows that Manchester City always wanted to get a trophy, so they have to try their possible best to get that, and they won't allow Chelsea to make them lose that opportunity because knowing that they have already lost the Champions League will make them play a no mercy game on Chelsea, which they actually did, and Chelsea also played their best because even the goal that was scored by Bernardo was such a lucky goal because it came unexpectedly to them, but the game is already over, so I can say definitely Manchester City are the ones to go with this season FA Cup trophy, because any of the team that will play against them, I know they will win them, which I am directing to either Manchester United or Coventry City, and it is already known that that team will be Manchester United, because they will definitely win Coventry City in their game tomorrow.

[nelson4lov]

The sooner Chelsea realizes that until Jackson improves tremendously, he would be more of a liability to his team. Game and game, Jackson continues to miss clear-cut chances. Even worse, it's unfair to his teammates who constantly get him balls in critical areas yet he's unable to finish. Jackson vs Nunez, I don't know who's worse but Nunez records as opposed to Jackson thst only tries to control balls.

Congratulations to Guardiola and his men. Winning the FA cup is no where near winning the UCL but FA cup + EPL titles this season will go a long way.

[Rruchi man]

Manchester City are the ones to go with this season FA Cup trophy, because any of the team that will play against them, I know they will win them, which I am directing to either Manchester United or Coventry City, and it is already known that that team will be Manchester United, because they will definitely win Coventry City in their game tomorrow.

Plot twist, Coventry understanding their position as the team expected to lose, come into that game with all they can give, and then end up winning Manchester United that can be vulnerable.

Manchester City will just have an easy pick at the trophy against Coventry because unlike Manchester united, Manchester City do not joke!

[Sexylizzy2813]

Madueke and Jackson shouldn't be putting on the Chelsea jersey till the end of the season because they don't have any idea of what they're doing on the pitch and I wonder why Pochettino is starting Madueke ahead of Mudryk who have better force them Madueke, why? Like this man Pochettino is not trying his best to be the coach people see him as but a man who doesn't and can never have control over his boys, and he doesn't know what to do to make his team win.

I don’t quite agree with you when you bring Madueke to the table in this regard but, who I can very much agree with you on is N. Jackson. He wasn’t a Chelsea player tonight, he was playing for Manchester City by the look of it and he somehow managed to have played a full 90 minutes of the game, just for Manchester City. How did Pochettino not see this treasury when it’s just right in his before. How many chances can one man get before he gets to convert them to goals. Chelsea had all the chances to win this game, especially as Manchester City wasn’t playing like Manchester City and they had all of it thrown in the wind. It just makes sense why Pep is a best coach in England, he doesn’t play with opportunities and today, he took a good show from Chelsea.

Why I Madueke dragged into this was because he has never live up to expectation just like the man Jackson. Madueke has the skill and speed but he just allow defenders to always take advantage of his sluggishness and you can never see him take a defender one on one and win the battle just like Mudryk or Sterling, the highest thing you see Madueke do is run and pause to pass the ball back I mean way back when he still has enough time to create chances and his shots are never accurate.
Pochettino on his own path has been declared as a watchman and not a coach, he's always at the touchline looking at errors without taking actions, if he had done something about these two guys (Jackson and Madueke) right from the beginning I believe Chelsea would have been the one celebrating. Is like Chelsea have more players that doesn't know how to give a one time pass to punish the opposition, why on earth did Chilwell delay the pass to Sterling? That would have been a move to level the game but he decided to hold on to the ball till the City defenders that doesn't take shit comes and clear the ball and you can see Sterling shouting angrily at Chilwell. I really don't understand Chelsea and these are the errors EPL clubs do just to make City look good and better than the rest in the league.

[Despairo]

Jackson really disappointed Chelsea, he got two big chances to score a goal, but he didn't make it. If Jackson can equalize the points, at least it will be 50/50 when it comes to penalty. I didn't see Manchester City is dominating the match, both of them are equal in this match.

Jackson vs Nunez, I don't know who's worse but Nunez records as opposed to Jackson thst only tries to control balls.

It's a tough choice

But I would choose Jackson is the worst because he can't even score any goal for his national team.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

I think the same thing with you I mean this match might end in a draw, on paper Manchester City is much better but their opponent is Chelsea one of the most difficult teams to predict. In some matches we saw Chelsea playing differently when against strong teams even Chelsea defeated their opponents well, this is the reason why I am not very sure Manchester City can win easily. I just checked the betting market on Sportsbook it seems they predict there will be many goals in this match at least 3-4 goals so I think betting on over total goals is quite interesting and also on both teams to score, we also have to remember that this is the only opportunity for Chelsea to win the trophy this means they will not let this opportunity just disappear.

Chelsea's performance in the first half game was really fair, but Chelsea got more goal opportunities to score in this game than Manchester City did have in the match, Jackson was their major problem else Chelsea would have been leading at least a goal to nothing, Jackson wasn't very smart with the ball in front of the post , even when he got that one one with the keeper. Palmer should be fronted in this game than where he's operating from.

Yeah overall Chelsea don't play bad I can say both teams are at the same level it's just that luck isn't on Chelsea's side, as you said Chelsea have some good chances but they fail to score goals even the referee did not give a penalty when the ball hit the Manchester City player when free kick in the 55+ minute and VAR is not used. Next we will wait for Manchester United to take place in the final because I don't think there are obstacles when they fight against Coventry today, even if Manchester United play with a second player, it doesn't seem to be a big problem. Erling Haaland was not in lineup for injury reasons  and Pep doesn't want to take risks because they still have other important matches. The final match will continue on May 25 and if Manchester City plays with the main squad then this trophy will be in their hands.

[Gaza13]

Both teams have many good attempt but Manchester City success defeating Chelsea over 1-0 after Bernando Silva goals and waiting the opponent teams in the final between Manchester United or Coventry City. Since the first minutes, Pep Guardiola use all his main players for the semifinal match except Haaland have been absent and his position replacing well by Julian Alvarez.

I think interested if the final match of FA Cup between Manchester United vs manchester city, how ever Manchester derby will very interested before premier league competition ended and to know who will be the Manchester red or blue, between United or City.
Another semifinal FA Cup match between Manchester United vs Coventry City will play tomorrow, if Erik teg Hag fail for beating mediocre teams its very bad performance and not sure with his future position.

Yes, both teams played quite an interesting match that night, and the score that was created was indeed worthy of City getting it, and City dominated the match with a percentage of 60% that night. And City really deserves to advance to the Final. Everyone definitely hopes that the final match will be a Manchester derby match. In general, United is far superior to its opponents. The reason is that Coventry City, during their FA match, showed quite a good game. I think they will fight or match United's game. It's true what you said if United loses, it's not just a bad performance, but it will be a nightmare in the history of the team coached by Erik Tag Hag.

Manchester City advances to the final after narrowly winning the Blues 1-0. Bernardo Silva played major games and contributed alot to seal the final for the Citizens. Mauricio Pochettino should be blamed, he made late substitutions which would have been a huge target for the team's victory. Chelsea frontline, Nicolas Jackson have missed clear big chances this season and against Manchester City, it was so frustrating to see him missed one on one countless times.

Man City deserved this victory because they had better control of the game and in terms of performance, Man City was indeed better than Chelsea. It's just that Chelsea also didn't play badly, you could even say that they have experienced quite significant improvement. They dared to play an open game against Man City and they even had 3 good chances which could have been goals, it's just that they were less fortunate in the finishing touch. I think with the progress Chelsea are making now, they can be a serious contender in the Premier League next season.

Seriously, Chelsea gave Manchester City a difficult moment in the match, but unfortunately they couldn’t win the match.

Chelsea problem is beyond imagination seriously. They need both couch and striker next season if they want to remain significant in domestic games and the Europe competition at large. Pottechino is very weak and doesn't look hungry for victory, he's so relaxed even when things are going wrong on the pitch. For Jackson to play for the whole 90 minutes after missing so many chances shows that he has no winning mentality. To be honest, pottechino is too calm to be a Chelsea couch because his reaction on the touch line is very poor, he only knows how to fold hands and watch till 90 minutes.

It's insane to expect a different result when you are doing things the same way. Continuing playing Jackson as a main striker is a disaster because he lacks confidence which is the number one feature of every striker. Can't imagine manchester city who played for 120 minutes three days ago and look exhausted beat Chelsea that has been resting all this while. It's a prove that these players are not after the progress of this club called Chelsea but more after their pocket because even their reaction after the lose is something else. No remorse at all for throwing away the golden chances.
