Topic: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2021/2022 (Read 8097 times)

It's true that Manchester United have not been doing too well ever since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club as their manager but been this year FA Cup Champions is not easy and it really comes for celebration because some many big clubs in the English premier league also participated in the competition but couldn't make it to the finals talk more of winning the FA Cup Trophy, besides the FA cup trophy is one the richest and oldest competition in English football and winning it against club like Manchester City really comes for celebration because with the current form of Manchester United 99% predicted Manchester City will win the FA Cup trophy but reverse was the case. I was also excited because am a Manchester United fan.

I doubt it in this champions league final Borussia Dortmund against Real Madrid because we all know that when comes to champions league record they are always able and capable of doing the needful things to enable them lift the trophy, but however I think the way football is going this time around one can not predict any again till the final whistle sound.

Surprising results are what makes the game of football more and more interesting to watch.

No team should be looked down own because football is not just about how good you can play, but also a game of luck and anyone can make mistake which can cause their team a defeat.

I was not shocked with Atalanta’s result against Leverkusen because I know what Atalanta can do because they have a good and experienced coach; likewise, I was not too surprised with United's Victory over Manchester City because I know that derby matches are always tough especially finals.

The next surprise will be the Champions League final; Dortmund can follow the suite.

Manchester United will probably not be all that great next season, doesn't feel like they would be all that great. I understand that just because FA cup was won, everyone thinks that they are going to be decent but the reality is that we are not going to see them win much, they are not going to be all that great. I get that we are going to see them not do all that bad, maybe they will finish higher than what they finished this season, but I bet that top four is still not possible.

The fact that they finished top four last season was a shocker, that was the one which nobody expected, not the current situation, the current situation is exactly what people assumed United will be and I do not see them having the brains to get any better.

Actually the game seems to be Manchester united Luck of wining the FA cup trophy that's why Man City could not be able to utilize their goals opportunity, Although Manchester united could be able to score them 2 goals in the first half that makes them to take the lead against Man City because It was the two goals that makes them to be more confident in that game.

Chelsea and United have fundamental similarities this season, both teams are faced with a storm of player injuries, so they are unable to show their best performance in every match. United finished in 8th place in the standings, but managed to get a ticket to the Europa League thanks to winning the FA Cup trophy, in this case The Red Devils should give thanks. It may still seem fair for Chelsea, as The Blues will progress to the Confederation League, and finish in a better place than United in the Premier League standings.

Apart from that, the setbacks of United and Chelsea this season have given City and Arsenal more freedom to fight for the trophy. The competition would have been more difficult if United and Chelsea had been able to appear consistent. However, United were still better than Arsenal and Chelsea, because The Red Devils managed to bring home the trophy when the season ended, while Arsenal and Chelsea did not even though they finished in better places.

Apart from that, the weakness of Ten Hag fleet this season lies in the defense line, fortunately Ten Hag still has Maguire, he has again appeared impressive in many matches even though at the start of last season Ten Hag no longer wanted him. The ups and downs in United performance this season have been very significant, but when they managed to win the FA Cup trophy, it could be said that they were still lucky.

most persons were actually of the opinion that Manchester city were goin to win the game because Manchester city was actually looking like the better side in the game and since this season Manchester city have been at the to of their game that they even won the premier league title, ordinarily its normal that everyone is definitely goin to think that Manchester city would win, Manchester united have been very poor in their performance such that ta some point you cant get to tell if they will be able to really get to win a game because they usually do appear weak and not in a good form enough to be able to win a game especially against top team like Manchester city who has been the top team since this season in the premier league and in other of their league games.

Manchester city would have been able to win that game if they were able to get a goal in the first half, maybe by the second half, they will be able get an equalizer after which they will then get to probably get a goal to take the lead before the end of the second half and they were very much better than Manchester united who had a very weak defense but the goals seem to get Manchester city players weak and unable to preform as they should to getting more goals.

I can agree Chelsea had a subpar performance in the first half of the Premier League season, but in the second half, they fought and was passionate about winning, defending the coach and also fighting for themselves on the pitch. Whatever position they was place finally at the end of the season they earned it, they worked hard for it and they had it.

It's sad that they couldn't make it to the UEFA European Europa League Competition.

I won't say there's anything like Luck, but Manchester United knew they was going to fight hard during that last game against Manchester City to win it.
First of all, they shouldn't sack Erik Ten Hag, back the manager and get him quality signatures for next season so you can towards winning the Premier League Competition next season. He off course deserves one ore season as Manchester United manager.

Yes in football anything can happen at any given time because the game was really unbelievable like Atalanta against Bayern Leverkusen in the Europe league final because almost everybody have already concluded that Bayern Leverkusen is going to won Atalanta because of their unbeaten record, however I hope we not going to witness another unexpected results from Dortmund against Real Madrid in the champions league final again.

Just being able to beat Man City is enough to prove that Man United is actually still quite strong in the EPL, it's just that they missed a lot of lost opportunities and they are a little unstable in terms of performance and that's what causes Man United to look weaker than the top clubs, but if Man U plays better Seriously, in fact, they can also beat Man City, which is the favorite of many people to win this final match to win their second trophy, but luck is on MU's side this time and they can win the FA Cup trophy.

Next season Man U must be better than this season and they managed to get a ticket to compete in the UEL which is better than not appearing in an international tournament. Luckily Man U won in the final maybe if they lose they won't be able to appear in any tournament (UCL / UEL) because Man U finished in 8th place and Chelsea were not able to appear in the UEL because Man U had taken that slot.

Indeed, congratulations! They were lucky to have been able to defeat us, if you watch the game we had Manchester United in our hands but they played a well-defensive game, and all our attacks were ineffective, the mistake that happened was the fact that we allowed them to score those two goals that is were the whole problem started from. and another thing is that I feel we underestimated them and what it resulted in did not make sense at all, and that is one of the reasons you don't underestimate your opponent because they will take advantage of it. and I was not happy due to what happened. there is nothing that can be done.  Manchester United did not make me proud the only person I see they have made proud are other than their fans. because they won the FA Cup with ease and that is what annoys me the most.


people knew what Manchester City was capable of doing, and there was full assurance that we were going to win the FA making it two trophies, the mistake was the moment we underestimated them and that is what affected us. and a lot of money was lost because of our silly mistake. football can not be predicted sometimes but we know what both clubs are capable of doing.  Bayer Leverkusen was topping so no one would have expected them to lose. things can change during a game but not in a situation like this losing to Manchester United. it was just pain and  but next time it wont happen because I know Pep will not be happy either.

As a matter of fact, I lost confidence in Manchester united this season because I was expecting something better than last year, but we saw something different throughout the season for United and most of the Chelsea fans were very happy because United was ahead of them and towards the end of this season, Chelsea became consistent with their matches which made them to be 6th on the table.

It is just like the God of football knows that Manchester united is too big not to participate in any European competition next season which will be a slap on United, and that was why we saw that incredible defeat on City in the finals. Finally, the inconsistent Manchester united was able to make a difference and got a direct ticket to the Europa League next season.

I am a Manchester United fan, I haven't been that happy since the beginning of the season. There was when I expected Manchester United to be a little bit consistent in order to remain in the top six of the English Premier League table. At a time since started sliding the negative side, I didn't know if to blame the coach all day Manchester United management for not buying enough players for the coach. In the other hand the coach decision was destructed by inavailability of players. The majority of Manchester United defense we are absent throughout the season. But Manchester United coach started making some adjustment and playing some players of position in order to sustain throughout the season.

I would have said that football is unfair if actually a club like Chelsea plays Europa League why Manchester United does not. I didn't believe and understand how Chelsea moved past Manchester United in the table and occupies the sixth position for Europa League. But then football finally showed me that it is fair by making Manchester United to be the King of England and as well qualified for the Europa League competition for next season. If Manchester United management could get a more and quality players I think Manchester United win definitely compete for major trophies in the coming season.

I have two very close friends who happens to be Manchester United fans and yesterday we were analyzing their win against Manchester United as well as how they ended up having a better season than Chelsea and Arsenal who didn't win anything this season. They were so happy telling me how they never expected their club to beat Manchester City but were surprised to see them lift the English FA Cup trophy on Saturday and instead of sharing in their joy, I reminded them if the history of the club and why they shouldn't be celebrating an FA Cup final victory against Manchester City when it wasn't the UEFA Champions League final.
Manchester United is believed to be the most successful English football club while their Manchester City is just a club who recently started to well in the past one decade. When Sir Alex Ferguson was the club manager, he was asked by the media if Manchester City will play any derby match against Manchester United as the favorites and he responded by saying "not in my lifetime" but in the past 8 to 10 years, the Citizens have played most of their matches against Manchester United as favourites and that goes a long way to tell you how underperforming the club have been since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club

I don't know how to rate it but I know too many Manchester United fans had doubts even the legends had doubts about the game. The only person I saw having a slight faith and hope even though it's dangerous has got to be Gary Neville.
They made so many errors, also some people said England did favored Manchester United by not awarding the penalty for Erling Haaland.
Asides that, I also heard talks of the game being fixed, some said you can clarify with that goal scored by Garnacho but I don't think so. It was clearly miscommunication between defender and goalkeeper.

There was nothing strange about that formation, it was a normal four two three one formation. The thing is you made use of flashscore and what you saw was totally bizzare and strange.

It was Bruno Fernandez playing as a false nine but still supported in midfied, even when Kobbie had yellow, Bruno Fernandez had to drop deep for him to go ahead so as to avoid a double yellow.
They used this same formation against Newcastle United, Brighton and now Manchester City.

Asides the goal scores, Manchester United had players like  Andre Onana with many saves, Sofyan Amrabat in midfied, Diego Dalot and Aaron Wan Bisakka pocketing Jeremy Doku all throughout that game.

Almost every body predicted Manchester City to win the trophy because of there current form this season but one thing about football is that football can be unpredictable  same thing also happen at the Europa league final between Bayer Leverkusen and Atalanta people predicted Bayer Leverkusen to win the trophy because of there current form too and consistency but reverse was the case. All the same Congratulations to Manchester United.

Man United's victory was truly unexpected. As we know, Man United went to Wembley with a fairly small chance of winning because their performance has been inconsistent, while their opponents Man City are in their prime and have just won the Premier League trophy. It looks like Man United really has the motivation to win and they look different than usual, as seen in the field, they are quite disciplined in carrying out defense, and even though Man City has more control over the course of the match, but Man United really tried to maximize every counterattack opportunity they got.

The second goal from Mainoo was something we have rarely seen this season. Rashford and Garnacho tend to dribble the ball when penetrating, then they will make a shot attempt (although in a difficult position), while Bruno also tends to take a direct shot when he gets into a good position. But that night, the three of them really did good teamwork, and they were willing to make passes when their teammates found good positions to score goals.

Ten Hag has a good squad, his midfielders are perfect, defense is also equipped only thing he needs to do is to add to a few more players to his forwarders, he lacks just in this aspect. If we are to go through every team in the PL, apart from probably Manchester City, United has the best midfielders, I feel like everything that has been positive in the club revolves around them, they score goals, assists and even
becomes defensive. See what happened in the FA Cup final, all thanks to Mainoo (Midfielder) who scored the second goal, it must have ended 1:1 leading to an extra time game play and the odd might turn to favor City. Ten Hag failed in this season and we expect him to do better coming season, his coaching mentality at this point is not quite enough to make them live up to their expectations.

So many do no believe that Manchester United will beat Manchester city in the current form of Manchester city. I do not even know if the Manchester United fans believed what was going to happen. Manchester city had won many matches and they are addicted to win. So, they don't plan how to prevent lossing but they plan how to win. This is why if any club take them by surprise, they will not have a good damage control mechanism to mitigate losses.

When I saw the strange formation of Erik Ten Hang, I was quite surprised by it and then I remembered that the last time he did such a strange formation, he won. So I became confident that something nice could come out. When I saw 2 goals in HT, I knew it was over because Manchester United has a handful of their defenders available and that is why we saw the good result.

People who don't want to see Real Madrid win because they have won it more than any club is just jealous of Real Madrid and don't like quality and the success of a good club. Assuming it was their own club that is playing the finals, they will support them even if they know that it will be impossible for their club to win the finals.

I can see that a lot of biased people are not saying the fact because they are player hating. Just like what happened yesterday, it was a shock and disappointment to Chelsea because they never thought that United can win the match and they have being claiming that they are better than Manchester united this season but just one game turned United around and became better than Chelsea this season.
