🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2023/2024

[Distraction]

Guardiola's players did a really huge work there despite being in a really tight schedule. Because they played for 120 minutes + penalty shootouts in the Champions League only 3 days before this match. Guardiola also complained about it a lot during the post-match interview. He criticized why they didn't postpone the FA Cup match to a later date.

I believe he is right about that also but on the other hand Chelsea have a PL match next Tuesday. This time it would be difficult to play this match next week as the weekend is also full of PL matches. 

However Manchester City did an insane job there anyway.

Coventry City - Manchester United

This is a game in which on paper Manchester United is the favorite to win the game, despite Manchester United being a very inconsistent team in the Premier League, to the point that in the last 5 games they played in the Premier League they only had one victory, but they also only had 1 defeat. They had 3 draws, and managed to score goals in most of the games they played, on the other hand, Manchester United's opponent comes from a lower division, and in the last 5 games they had 2 wins and 3 losses. coming from 2 consecutive defeats. So I see Manchester United coming out with victory in this game. I'm going to wait to see the Manchester United squad that will play and then I'll bet on Manchester United

Manchester United has many injured players: Anthony Martial, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, Raphael Varane

Manchester United have not won in their last 4 matches, so it can be assumed that their condition is not fine. Even so, Man United is still the favorite in this match because their opponent is Coventry, which only compete in the EFL Championship. Coventry itself also has a performance that is no better than Man United, so I think Man United will win this semifinal match as long as they don't make mistakes like in their last 4 games.

Ten Hag's mistake was always playing defensive football when they had a goal advantage. I think this strategy is very ineffective because it will give their opponents a lot of space to attack. If only Man United continued to play attacking football when they had a goal lead, I guess they would have a greater chance of winning.

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

While playing for Aston Villa he was still playing from the flanks but had more freedom to express himself for the club, but right now, Josep Pep Guardiola demands a lot from him and I think he is not ready to provide creativity and assist for Erling same way he did last season. These players fail to understand that creating chances and passing the ball always makes them a better player, this is same issues I have with Marcus Rashford as he thinks he must be the only one to score that goal.

I suggest they should go watch Wayne Rooney and all the services he provided for Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, likewise Berbatov and Robin Van Persie.

It's high time Mauricio Pochetino starts playing Nicholas Jackson on the wing. I've watched him closely and that's the best role for him. He has failed to take chances now he has the game time and opportunities. One day, he would look for it and not get it.

What Manchester City is doing with these many games is just insane… so many matches this season and it looks like we will have even more next season. I think this isnt good for players at all. No rest and so many injuries and this is causing serious problems for some teams. Guardiola is right they should have given them some rest days but i think they dont care.

Guardiola and his players continue to run from cup to cup. It is undoubtedly a great success that they played against Chelsea in the FA Cup three days after a 120-minute Champions League match and won the match. If they had eliminated Real Madrid in penalties, they could have gone to a very different place, but unfortunately it did not happen, this success was left for another season.

Manchester City players were also really slow in the match, they were especially slow in defense, it was obvious that Chelsea made faster attacks, but Chelsea could not find any results, even though they tried more than Manchester City.

With this fact, doesn't it show how weak Chelsea is because they can't take advantage of their opponents who are tired because in two weeks they have more matches than Chelsea, Manchester City even remains the team that dominates the match which is lucky not to have to go through extra time because before entering the stoppage time Bernado Silva managed to score a goal and ensure his team reached the FA Cup final, and I agree that Manchester City did an insane job and that was also because of the role of Pep who was adept at seeing opportunities in rotating players.

It seems that the tight schedule that teams from the English Premier League have to face is their toughest challenge and that has been going on for quite a long time, and the parties involved should be better at managing the schedules of teams that also have to compete in several competitions in one season.

But congratulations to Manchester City because they have the opportunity to win several titles this season.

No rest and so many injuries and this is causing serious problems for some teams. Guardiola is right they should have given them some rest days but i think they dont care.

No! Pep Guardiola expects the match to win as there are no more important preparations except for the FA Cup and Premier League so the preparation for this match is clearly done.
I'm sure Pep Guardiola knows what his team needs, on the other hand the players are staying fit despite having a busy fixture schedule, if that's the case then the match won't be as tight as the UCL match now looking forward to the FA final which is likely to be against Manchester again.

   Coventry City 0-1 M.United

Today is the second semifinals match between those two clubs above, and Manchester united should be able to win this match, and prepare to face Manchester city in the finals. MacTomminay have already opened the scoreline on the 23rd minutes for his club to be on the lead.

Manchester united is dominating the match, and I don't think that Coventry city will be able to play them to the extend that Conventry city will win the game. It is going to be a tough final for United, because they don't have the strength to play Manchester city.

In the last 4 matches, Manchester United has never won. They only got 3 draws and 1 loss. This time, Manchester United is serious in the FA Cup semifinal match. McTominay made Manchester United win for a moment with his goal.
It seems very true that Coventry City did not have a good performance. In terms of play in this semifinal match, Manchester United is much better than them and we will see that Manchester United's advantage will now last until the end so they can meet Manchester City in the final.

With the absence of key defenders to injury, one area of concern for united is the defense, but Casimero has been handling his newly found role very well. I hope the injured defenders will recover on time to assist in the remainder of the season. After scoring three goals, I'm really surprised how united allowed Coventry to pulled two goals in to give them a fighting chance. Rashford has been really poor and would have been the first player to be substituted but I'm surprised he's still on the pitch.

It is now 3-3 as Wanbisaka who caused the second goal committed a handball inside United box, which a penalty kick was given. Wright was able to score the penalty kick and made a good equalizer. It is a pity to see that Manc3united could not win this game and conceded 3 goals in the second half.

I am sick and tired of clubs like Manchester united and Chelsea who are suppose to be winning matches are not consistent with their matches. Especially united, if they are leading don't be happy because they might end up losing or drawing the game. What a mess and disappointment for Ten Hag amd his men. There must be a winner in the match, so the match is on 30 mind extra time.

I still can't understand why Man UTD still keep Erik ten Hag. The coach is not really a tactical shotgun, rarely takes advice and enjoys repeating his mistakes but expecting a different result cause I wonder why he keeps playing Wan Bissaka as a left back when his main position is right back? The two last goals Coventry just got were procured by him and this has me asking if his head is in the game..
 It's very obvious that Man UTD are quickly slinking into being the shadows of themselves, imagine having a THREE goal lead only to bottle it in less than few minutes to stoppage time.
 I won't be surprised though if they end up losing this game because the way they started the game, they were too comfortable and felt they could win this match, underestimating the championship side.

Man United really can't be helped anymore. They played like a bunch of fools who didn't know what to do when they got the ball and I think Ten Hag is not capable of being Man United coach. As usual, he changed his strategy when his team was ahead and I think it is a foolish change of strategy. It's clear they are leading 3-0, and they have pretty good game control but all that changed when he played Antony and Eriksen. The moment they lose their composure, that's when they also lose their rhythm.

Considering the current performance of both teams, Chelsea is far better than Manchester United. The Blues lost honorably to Manchester City yesterday and they put up an impressive performance. Today we are seeing a multi-million dollar club struggling to beat a relatively unknown club. The worst part of today's game is that they have given out a three-goal lead and are now trying to win the game. I am fully in support of Coventry winning this game because they deserve to win this game because of hard work.

United might end this season without a trophy because even if they win today's game, they cannot beat City with this performance. Erik ten Hag deserved to be sacked due to his poor performance. But it seems that the club management has made the decision to keep him for next season's campaign.

Sharp criticism of United this season is very justified, we have lost words and confidence in their performance this season. I no longer understand the way of thinking and strategy implemented by Ten Hag, he was already leading by 3 goals but failed to maintain it. Coventry managed to make a comeback in the second half, and chased down a 3 goal deficit, the current score still stands at 3-3.

Even though United were able to win the match and qualify for the final, their carelessness cannot be tolerated, we can imagine how they will be defeated when they play against City in the final. However, it would be a big surprise if the opposite happened, where Coventry ended up qualifying for the final, Ten Hag would have to be fired immediately if that happened today.

The extra time is almost over, it looks like the match will continue to a penalty shootout, United fate this season is truly unfortunate. Their last chance to win their only trophy this season is hanging in the balance, Onana doesn't seem to be able to be relied on in the penalty shootout. This has been a tumultuous season for United, they deserve sharp criticism from the fans.

Point of correction, UTD are already a shadow of themselves, they don't have a game plan and sometimes I wonder if they do train before coming into the pitch to play a game. Let's forget about ETH at the moment because is like Manchester United didn't buy the main ETH that made Ajax unstoppable back then, if this is the main man then he's not fit to be the head coach of a big club as Man UTD.
Erik ten Hag is not in charge of these guys who are running carelessly on the pitch, why on earth is he still saving Rashford on the pitch? Making a mistake by playing Wan Bissaka on the wrong side always works for him in other games in the EPL but he's forgetting something that this Coventry guys take the FA CUP as their Champions League and they're going to do everything to win this encounter.
Manchester United just need to think of how they're going to path ways with the man Erik ten Heg as soon as possible because if care is not taken they (Man UTD) might not get the chance of playing the finals of this competition and some how not playing any European competition.

Yes, the victory that all their supporters have been waiting for, even though Manchester City failed in the UCL, at least they are not down and discouraged because there is still a title they have to chase even though it may not pay for their failure in the UCL, the FA and EPL trophies will of course be Manchester City's main goal This season the reason is that they wanted the treble winner again but in fact they failed and were defeated by Madrid some time ago through a dramatic penalty shootout and Madrid ultimately qualified for the semi-finals to meet Munich.

The success against Chelsea has shown that so far they have always played with a draw and finally I saw the strength of Manchester City which can actually beat Chelsea, where as we know sometimes they often make things difficult for Manchester City, but a narrow victory is more than enough to deliver Manchester City has qualified for the FA Cup final, of course Guardiola hopes that Manchester United will also qualify for the final so that they can meet Manchester City in the final, where this Derby match will certainly be an interesting spectacle, especially in the FA Cup final.

I agree, I am still in shocked what the hell done by these big quality players after having lead of 3 goals until 70 minutes of the game, and I was really happy about them with their performance which they give in this important game now suddenly we are at the level against team live Coventry which is really matter of the shame for them and all their management because now things are gone from the bad to worst and no doubt we are going to have some good changes until end of this season.

Now we are in first half of the extra time which is still showing 3–3 and as things are going we can expect penalties are coming and with this we can also expect big upset while Manchester City is going to face Coventry in the FA Cup final while Manchester United is going to leak their wounds at the end with this performance.

I don’t know Manchester United is such a useless club, how will you be leading with three goals difference and they equalize in second half of the match, seriously this is really surprising, I guess it’s high time Manchester United have to change their coach, Ten hag can’t really solve Manchester United problem, they just have to change him. I was thinking the match was going I be a easy one for Manchester United, they scored two goals in the first half, and scored one goal early second half, but it’s just surprising how Coventry equalized in the second half of the match, that’s really bad for Manchester United.

[Oluwa-btc]

Disappointed with Erik Ten Hag and the rest of Manchester United player's on that pitch this evening. Embarrassing display I must say, this is enough reason why Erik Ten Hag has been speculated to be sacked truly, another game to see him and his poor decision making leading him to hell.

How do he leave Marcus Rashford to continue in this game? For goodness sake, is Erik Ten Hag Fauckin blind? This is not about having Injuries and stuff, he was far from good today.
Henceforth, I no longer support him, because he has done more than enough, if Manchester United management wants to sack Erik Ten Hag, they should go on.

Subbing Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo lead to this awful game, I couldn't complete the game cause of pressure. Manchester United constantly denying me for little pleasures I seek.
