[Sir Shep]

Wow Chelsea have Daka and our free kick specialist, go figure!

[Col city fan]

Mudryk’s just done the same again! How much did he cost?!

Chelsea might end up paying £115 mill for Caicedo . Possibly the most  pointless player ever 

They have even more serious problems with the pension type contracts they've given to players.

Always next year Ben.

[David Hankey]

The commentator says "this has to go in", so Murder puts it out for a goal kick. What a plonker!!

Great cameo from Chilwell 😂

He was shouting at Foden. Proper manager/coach like one I had in basketball back in the days. It doesn't matter if you had an incredible game, you make one mistake and you get a proper lecturing. 

I know, but point being they get away with it sadly. He and Arteta never get pulled up for it.

True but I don't mind it. He was furious at Foden not the officials or the opponents, he wasn't giving instructions directly, maybe indirectly by telling off this player. It might have been a bit embarrassing for Foden but he needs to learn. You're right though, there are many incidents all 3 of them (Pep, Arteta, Klopp) get away with it.

F**k off Pep

[LcFc_Smiv]

Fed up of billionaire clubs with top level staff, the best training facilities, technology and support moaning about the demands of the modern game. Masses of top players and all they do is bitch and moan, they have no clue about what football is about across the pyramid and it infuriates me.

Always complaining about English competitions when none of the managers moan about the greed that is more European games which is the whole reason for any overloads.

They're literally far better off than anyone else to deal with this, largely thanks to being allowed to flout the rules. Pep should really STFU.

They were at home in the week !

 

And it was their fault the Madrid game went to penalties really .

[Stinkenzo]

If pitch sizes were made 10 yards smaller each side, managers and players would adapt their tactics and methods to fit. Given the intensity of football these days, why do they refuse to simply tone it down a bit? If fatigue is that big an issue then over the course of the season it will play in to your favour. They always moan about it but never look for ways around it. But for the guy with the biggest squad in the country to be the biggest crybaby about this does take the biscuit.

If cov get to the final and know they won’t make the play offs they are more likely not to put a shift in to try avoid getting any injuries . We may not even need to worry about that game either  if we get a bit of luck on Monday with Leeds 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Praying for a couple of early United goals and then them just managing the game for 70 minutes. I want absolutely zero joy for those rats.

We want Cov nowhere near a major final and any chance of wining a major trophy 

Couldn’t give two shits how it affects us

They'll get absolutely dicked by Man City regardless. It'd be hilarious to see them cry at wembley again.

Unfortunately Cov will win today. I can't see how this lethargic Man Utd side will cope with the intensity Cov will bring in. Man Utd would have had serious problems against any Championship team in the top 8 positions on a KO FA Cup game. Hope I'm proven wrong but the signs are there for an upset today.

I think you’re greatly underestimating the levels of skill between even a mid table prem team and a mid table championship team. Intensity means sod all when the opposition can simply pass it around you. Cov will be over run in midfield and it’ll only need one or two moments of individual skill and that’ll be that. 

[purpleronnie]

Hoping for a better game than yesterday, no doubt it will be close for 30 minutes, Utd will score and that'll be that.
