Off topic but Steve Mcmanaman on BT commentary

"you got to lose semi finals to win finals"

He's awful

So anything happening?
Where /how is KDB playing ?
Has Foden come on yet ?

PEA(Tierney).

Jaysus !

extra gravy

Tierney is a lovely player, one for the watchlist next season.

City camped around Arsenal box, Arsenal repelling easily.

Arsenal into final.

They might prefer to think to next season. Watford very motivated.

I am not
They have absolutely nothing to play for in that game now
And the only bit of motivation in last game is its David Silva’s last game . They seem to (rightly ) hold him in the highest regard
And it’s the last game before champ league from peps point of view

Really? I think Watford are getting mauled now by angry City. As a Villa fan, I'm banking on it.

I wouldn’t be tbh
It is an absolutely nothing game for city. Obviously whatever team is selected will still have lots of quality . But their focus is now completely on european football. Last home game for Dilva will bring them out to play .
But I just do not see a hammering for Watford Tuesday night. And they will concede too. Sarr will terrorize them if they play their highline with back up Defence

Terrorize is a strong word tbh

Especially with Sarr, he was the most dangerous player in their last game, but nowhere near terror level tbh

I really see it differently. Lots of winner mentalities in that dressing room who will be playing angry I think. Let’s see how it ends up.

Team selection will probably tell us where peps head is at regarding this game too
Will be interesting to see .

Manchester United: De Gea, Bailly, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka, Matić, Fred, Williams, Fernandes, James, Rashford

Subs: Romero, Fosu-Mensah, McTominay, Pereira, Pogba, Mata, Greenwood, Martial, Ighalo

Chelsea: Caballero, Azpilcueta, Rüdiger, Zouma, James, Jorginho, Kovačić, Alonso, Willian, Mount, Giroud

Subs: Kepa, Tomori, Christensen, Emerson, Loftus-Cheek, Pedro, Hudson-Odoi, Pulisic, Abraham

Fernandes had his crown jewels caught by Azpi there, painful.

Pulisic on Bench due to slight muscle injury

Bailly off injured
Martial on

United changing to normal formation after a turgid 45 minutes

Bailly has collided with Maguire and is subbed off for Martial.

Maguire is bandaged up and continues.

Bailly having a neck brace put on at the side of the pitch now. Seemed like he tried to walk off and then only made it to the side of the pitch bit worrying.

Yeah I hope he's ok. He's had an awful time of it with injuries over his career.

Even just today he's been hobbling around a bit seems pretty fragile at the best of times. Hooefully we get an update on him soon.

Now Martial down!

Heavy fall for martial
