christ Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 12 minutes ago, RS said: Manu obviously favourites here but at least we have a chance this time. Was expecting an easy victory for them the last 2 Wembley visits against them. I think the result comes down to how we cope with the occasion as much as how Man United play. There’s definitely been an air of after the Lord Mayor’s show about our performances since the semifinal. As much as Howe has talked about the focus being on the next game we’ve turned up some really uncharacteristic performances both collectively and individually, and I think that’s because Wembley’s hanging over us. Could be nerves, could be getting complacent. Who knows, but I don’t think it’s an accident our form has tailed off over the last three games. The team that keeps its head wins on Sunday. That concerns me as I don’t think we’ve the big game experience that Man United do but there seems to be quite a bit of pressure on them too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 It still feels like the draw is a strong runner here, I can't see there being much in it at all. We're a big physical side, who won't offer the same kind of space that Barcelona afforded them. If recent games are anything to go by, they do give you chances in the first 20-30 minutes. If they do so here it's absolutely vital that we take them. We can't afford to be missing chances at the rate that we have been of late. On the other hand those balls over the top are a worry. I'd hope after Liverpool, we aren't too aggressive with the press and drop off a yard or two to counter that. It's a really interesting match up and recent Wembley finals have tended to be close, low scoring affairs. I think it'll be similar here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous the amount of space they gave us. The most space we've had all season. We had 3 or 4 golden chances that we should have buried over the two legs. I know I'm not alone in thinking that Sunday will be harder than last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I think we've possibly been conserving energy a bit in some of the league games with this in mind. Whatever the outcome I'm sure we'll give it everything we've got and make it extremely difficult for them. We'll win trophies under this regine for certain so it doesn't feel like when will we get this chance again type of game. I just would love it if it was this set of players to end the drought. Two local lads in the starting lineup, the redemption of the likes of Miggy and Joe. A reward for Tripps and Bruno taking a chance on us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankpingel Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Think it has to be acknowledged that it stems from a desperation for us to win (Rushford inj) and nothing personal. It also stands for Casimero and Fernandes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I can't believe there is any negativity! Howay man lads! We've had a little blip and the main reason for that was we were missing our key player who is back on Sunday! Yes, they're a very good side but so are we! 2-0 Wilson and Bruno HOWAY YOU BEAUTIFUL BLACK AND WHITE BASTARDS! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Casemiro is the player they would miss the most and then probably Fred who will sit on our Bruno like he did with De Jong last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Hopefully Rashford is fit to play but then quickly becomes apparent that he isn’t with a substitution required on 35 mins that knocks them well off their stride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 It’s not like we’re missing our #1 keeper, our #2 keeper and our #3 keeper. So hardly getting the best Toon team fwiw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
