The Prophet Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 21 minutes ago, Wandy said: There's not a chance we can or will play them off the park FFS The best way to win this will be to be conservative and cagey. If we play with the same tactics next week as the ones we started off with yesterday then we will get mullered. If we had kept 11 players on the pitch last night then Liverpool would have scored at least another goal. They were picking us off totally on the counter. Player for player Man U are better than us in most positions right now. We need to understand this to prepare for it tactically to have a chance of winning. We absolutely can play them off the park, it's unlikely that we will though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) To be honest, I think as much as it'll need a bit of a formation change, I think we need to start Isak and Wilson (if he's fit to start) at Wembley. Isak was making some great runs yesterday, but then there was hardly anyone in the box for a final ball/pass. He can open things up, but we need a wilson to be on the end of stuff.

Paullow Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I think after Longstaff's second goal against Southampton when the final looked largely set, and perhaps once Man Utd had gone from 99% to 100% confirmed the following evening (although Bruno's red in between was a big blow) I was thinking it was a 45/55 type tie, but the past few weeks with our respective form, the unbeaten run against PL opposition abruptly ending, the obvious lack of depth, and of course losing Pope, I am now thinking 30/70 at best, possibly slightly lower. Less confident now, but obviously far from a foregone conclusion, but while we're obviously all desperate to win something, the fist trophy in most people's lives, certainly domestically, and hopefully it happens, but if not, then you'd think another opportunity wouldn't be too far away, possibly just around the corner, and you certainly wouldn't expect it to be another 24 years for the next final, but while obviously nobody knows what the future holds, that mindset does relieve the pressure a bit (from me), whereas if it was say a Crystal Palace, Brentford, Leeds etc. who made a rare final instead, then it might have felt a bit different (like it would have for us pre takeover if Bruce somehow further fluked that rare League Cup run).

Tsunami Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Think we need to play a bit deeper to protect the space behind us but that’ll affect our high press as it’d leave big spaces either side of the half way line. Just need Fernandes n Rashford to pick up niggles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye me too. Hoping they do arrive like. TBH maybe it’s just recency bias, we’ve been so good for about a year that I don’t think I’ve needed to feel nervous. Pretty sure I felt it during those huge relegation games last season until it was clear we were going to be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezertron Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Being realistic (hopefully not negative), the only way we win this is if they have a stinker and we have a stormer. Every other scenario feels like ManU will take it. I think they'll score in the game, so we have to find at least a goal from somewhere. Shame we couldn't have played this when our forms were reversed. Still excited though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we couldn't have played this when our forms were reversed. Still excited though. To be fair, they’ve been in top form since the end of August. They’re really good at winning games even when they’re not quite functioning at their best. I can see us giving them a really good game but failing to score.
