Took me 37 years but finally got lucky (or unlucky) and nabbed a couple of tickets for the game today.
I'll start by admitting nothing hurts worse than a utd defeat, particularly in that manner but im not going to labour on the game much, think most of its been covered. We shouldve had it buried in 2nd half, utd hung in there, we were lucky to go ahead in extra time and then again utd kept going and got their rewards, fair play.
Mainly I wanted to give a shout out to the atmosphere today. The FA cups taken its fair share of flack over the years with many feeling its a diminshed tournament. There were no signs of that on the pitch or in the stands. Today was easily 1 of the best atmospheres ive witnessed and both teams fans deserve massive credit for that.
Our 9000 sang their hearts out the full game as youd expect. But fair play to utd fans. Yous took a bit of a battering in that 2nd half but stuck by your team, never turned on them. Ive no doubt that kept them going. And the noise for the winner was crazy! A very envious moment. Its the 1 thing our 2 sets of supporters have in common id say, we never give up on the team.
We move on, other things to foucs on now but that was a proper throwback today, what cup footballs all about.

Was a great game and obviously as a Utd fan I am delighted with the end result.
What I will say though is Klopp truly is a miracle worker because you're nowhere near as good as City are. I have literally no idea how he keeps you relatively competitive with them. When we play City it usually feels like we are a second division team at times but it never does against you lot. Even the 7-0 was a bit of a weird one as we were evenly matched in first half and we just fell apart and had a crazy 45 mins.
Klopp has only beaten ETH once in 4 attempts now. Pep has beaten ETH 4 out of 5 and quite comfortably in three of those.

Your attitude vs us and city is completely different. You always look bang up for it against us and roll over for City.
If you played like you did at times yesterday you’d find some success against City too. Although you were on the ropes for pretty much the entire second half. Had he been able to actually capitalise on our dominance we’d have run out healthy winners.
That’s football unfortunately!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We've beaten City plenty of times in recent years. Ole beat Pep 4 times. ETH even won 1 of the 3 meetings last season.
It's not attitude. They are just by far the best team in the division it pains me to say. Klopp has had you semi competitive with them and lot of that is down to graft and incredible fitness levels really.

I just said on another thread, I was right next to the Liverpool fans and it felt almost like a final. I'd have been gutted to lose but yesterday is what football is all about.

Id agree they are the best team. Our styles are very different though. Ours is far more high risk v reward, theirs is just suffocating the life out teams.
I do think for a 2 or 3 years period we were very good at that too from 19-22. But weve lost a bit of that control now with last seasons debacle and this season theres obvs a bit of change in the team.
I would say though that if you play like that against city youll get joy. Ten haags approach at the etihad was understable but basically just waving the white flag.
Both ourselves and villa earlier in the season have shown if you have quality attacking players and are prepared to have a go at city there is joy to be had. Theres no doubts your strengths as a team are the forwards. Bit more belief from your manager in them games going forward (cup final probably) and I think ylu cause them problems.

I'm horribly disappointed by the fkkkin manner of that defeat ....we had soo many chances to put united away ...and I was tearing my hair out and the amount of balls we gave away ....gakpo , nunez , quansah and Elliotts from our own corner .....
But that's footie..must have been great for the neutrals ...and everyone seemed to want united to win (i find that more random than anything )
Anyway..its a tired cliche ...ITS THE PREMIER LEAGUEI WANT FIRST AND FOREMOST...

difference between us and others?
Nunez would be hung out to dry and be savaged left and right for what he did sunday at any other club.
We will still support him as anyone can make a mistake. its what they do next that counts.
