    Ahhh yes the FA Cup, another stern test for you - away to the Cottagers - will Alex be in the VAR room again?

    Oh dear oh dear, will advise you United are the hosts! Sir Alex in the VAR room again? If he went in it would be his first time.

    People would be silly to say that City are finished as Pep G. is still at the helm.
    They will return with his guidance.

    Agreed, unfortunately he's no longer mentoring Maresca at Chelsea who is totally lost now that his possession style footy is no longer working :frust:

    There have been people who have said that Pep's style of football is too slow also but City have won a lot and they could just be re-building now.

    Citing Bournemouth and Brighton, he said: "Today, modern football is not positional. You have to ride the rhythm."

    As the forefather of 'juego de posicion', the 'positional play' that has dominated world football since his Barcelona side won everything 15 years ago, this is a sizeable admission


    Probably explains the problems Amorim has too to some extent, although out of the three of them Pep, Maresca and Amorim he seems to be the most clued up about it. Plus he has Fernandez and Garnacho who fit the "rapid" game well and are able to get Utd back into play when they're losing it - providing one of them isn't warming the bench :D.

    I think 115 City plastic followers have decided already 5000 allocated tickets for yesterday's semi final unsold, or perhaps they the fans were sleeping!

    Yes I saw the attendance figures for yesterdays Semi Final way down on the other Semi, seems City fans are bored with the success now, time for Pep to move on and try to get success for supporters that want it.

    I've never enjoyed this tippy-tappy style of football. It is so boring.

    When will they be thrown in league 1 and join us?
    Funny how they went after nottingham forrest and everton last season and nearly relegated them for 1 or 2 breaches and yet, these will no doubt get a fine or something stupid
