I have a hunch that Lissy will be fit.

Lindelof was excellent.
But I also thought Shaw had a brilliant game too

I actually thought it was a good game, for a 0-0. Yes, all the defenders deserve credit.

I really hope ETH has the balls to keep Maguire on the bench, and use Shaw at LCB.

Yeah I have seen worse 0-0's for sure but the game definitely lacked quality in the final thirds.

Based on his mentality and the fact it's such a big big game.

He will get fit.

So, nothing then apart from your own optimism.

Hahahaha. Bit of both.

I'm glad Evan Ferguson was out for them. He's a real handful and looks a tidy finisher.

Our front 3 were poor though. Martial's performance in particular was worrying. Looked totally out of sorts. He needs to find some form before the final for us to stand any chance. He's capable as he's done it before against the massive cheating oil club.

Really hope Varane is back too. Shaw back to LB perhaps.

My nerves won't cope very well but if we have secured CL football by the end and with the Carabao Cup already in the bag....it's a free swing for us. Pressure all on them.

First ever all Manchester cup final. A timely reminder about what Manchester City really are without a Sheikh bankrolling them. 😂

I'll also feel better if they're not still on for a treble. Not just because I don't want them to win a treble, but because I think the momentum of going for three would help and not hinder them. They've certainly got the squad to rotate players for two finals if need be.

For sure. But if they do it then so be it. At least we did it first and we didn't need a sheikh or to break any rules to do it.

Amazing how the PL can announce around Xmas that they have strong evidence to suggest they are massive cheats and then let them potentially win a treble. Wouldn't happen in any other sport. Should have been kept under wraps until next year if they didn't have any chance of getting a punishment passed in time.

If they make 115 charges go away without any severe consequences then we may as well all give up. The PL will lose all credibility.

It lost all credibility years ago

I feared the worst yesterday after watching some of Brighton’s recent performances, thought Mitoma would be the real dangerman, AWB deserves huge credit for his performance

The day they effectively allowed a country to buy a football club just to promote tourism to the middle East you mean?

They certainly did.

They will look incredibly weak if they don't come down hard on you now though. I imagine appropriate bribes and pay off are already under way though.

I wish they’d just set a date for the hearing.

Why the delays if it’s so cut and dry.

AWB is the best tackler I think I have ever seen.

The best punishment for City would be to state now that all players purchased under the present regime can't play any further part until the hearing. They can only use academy players moving forward.

Much better than a points deduction IMO.

AWB was motm for me. He was fanstiastic.

He did have the luxury of Antony helping out track their fullback, unlike Dalot.

I’ve said it a few times but since the Newcastle game, sides are targeting our left side and overlapping their full backs in the knowledge Rashford won’t cut off the option. It’s a big problem for us.

I hope Rashford starts up front in the final.
