United definitely got a win that nobody ever expected, that much is for sure. I thought Liverpool may want to win the FA cup a lot more, but they were either tired or just didn't care, they are not the team to lose to United to be fair, it looks like not a good thing for them. Not like they played full youth squad neither, Salah, Diaz, Nunez, Szoboszlai, VVD, all of them were playing and all of them looked like it is not that crazy man, they were capable of beating United if you ask me.

In the end, whatever happened happened and United should look ahead, they have both league and europa in front of them and they should end up getting both of those, and not like it would be impossible, they have that chance right now for sure.

I think all football fans will agree if I say that the FA Cup final is 99% certain to be the Manchester Derby - Manutd vs Mancity.
And Mancity will definitely be the favorite to win the FA Cup, while for Manutd - the Fa Cup is the last chance to win a trophy this season.
Even it is impossible, I do hope to see Manutd able to win this one.

Watching Liverpool vs Manchester United is like watching a final match, what a comeback by Manchester United, it's not be easy for them to play under pressure when Liverpool is leading during the injury time.

No, it was not a bad celebration, but it's his strategy to make Liverpool not able to kick off earlier and having a chance to equalizing the point. Manchester United won't have any problem against Coventry, without him Manchester United will win.

Especially these semi-final matches will be played full of tough competition. In this match I can predict Manchester United to win the first one, Coventry City is strong enough but Manchester United team performance is stronger. And formation of team by experienced players, so I am ready to bet for Manchester United team in this match.

As I've said before in my last post, surely Manchester United will be able to win the game, because so far Ten Hag has no motivation other than to win the FA game, because so far the FA Trophy is the only chance for Ten Hag and Manchester United to win the trophy this season after they no longer have any hope of winning the Premier League, I think Ten hag motivated the Manchester players to keep trying to put pressure on Liverpool's  to win the match.

Honestly, if Manchester United can play like that in every game they have this season in the league then I'm pretty sure if we will see Manchester United become one of the title contenders this season, but unfortunately Manchester United's performance in the league is often inconsistent so they have to settle for being in the 6th place of the Premier League at the moment,  The victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup should be able to raise Manchester United's enthusiasm for the next match especially they should be targeting the top 4 position at the end of the season, besides that Manchester United's chances this season to reach the FA final look quite large because in the next match they only face Coventry City which is the only team from the Championship division left at this time.

Yeah Manchester United played better in several crucial times, before the match ended in normal time they scored a goal which made the match have to go into extra time as well as in extra time, this time Liverpool lost their guard and could be said to have underestimated their opponent a little which ultimately made them have to accept this quite painful defeat, and for Manchester United, this is a big victory because in the semifinals they will face Coventry City and the opportunity to get to the final is wide open and it is very possible that the final will take place between two teams from the city of Manchester, because Chelsea looks like it will be difficult to beat Manchester City.

Based on FA Cup semifinal drawing, Manchester United got advantage by facing the Championship team Coventry City and looks bigger opportunity qualify to final round. Bit difficult with Manchester City have to face Chelsea in the semifinal round but Pep Guardiola most serious with FA Cup by using all main or regular players every round of FA Cup match and won to be the winner of FA Cup this season. In my opinion, Manchester United will lead to final round for facing the potential teams winner between Manchester City or Chelsea.

Manchester United had amazing performance last night success come back against Liverpool, United's counter attack most efficient last night exactly with the last goal, but bad celebration from Ahmad Diallo have received red card and will absent on semifinal round against Coventry.

It is so obvious that Klopp wrong changes brought about Liverpool downfall in the FA Cup match with Manchester united that is why in football, when your team has an advantage in a game, making substitution at that time may not be necessary unless if in a case where a particular player is not playing well.

Over confidence is another thing that ruins a team because you can't be so sure of a win and feel so reluctant to put more effort in other to maintain that winning atmosphere, Liverpool players were so reluctant after they were leading Manchester united and I don't know what happened to their defense because they were just so porous though Liverpool doesn't have a concrete defense that is why most of their matches doesn't end in clean sheets.

Yeah this is the battle of 2 elite clubs and we are like watching the final match unfortunately one of them must be kicked out, overall the two teams played well but luck was in Manchester United side. Now the FA Cup goes to the semi -finals 4 teams were there and again Manchester United seemed the luckiest because they were against a weaker team, I don't know this Coventry Team but their efforts to reach the semifinals should be appreciated but I'm not sure they can reach the final.

In another match Manchester City had to fight against Chelsea one of them will go to the final, we know that some people have favored Manchester City but remember the FA Cup is always full of surprises. I'm not sure whether Manchester City prioritized this tournament because they were competing in 2 other important competitions in the Premier League and the Champions League of course it will be at risk of injury if they are active in these 3 tournaments.

Manchester United performed well from the beginning to the end of the match. Although the first half of the game before half time Manchester United lead by one goal. But the Liverpool team responded appropriately by scoring two goals in a row. But Manchester United later scored to take the team to the winning end, with both teams being so strong that the match was unpredictable until the end. But it ended 4-3 at the last minute and Liverpool were eliminated from the knockout stage.

I think this would be an easy win for Manchester united since they have been in a fine form recently and this is the only opportunity left for them to get a trophy this season while they won the Carabao Cup last season they may win the FA cup this season while it will take only a miracle for Coventry to be the better team in the match except Manchester united become inconsistent again.

Chelsea VS Man city
In the EPL league this season Chelsea has been able to hold their ground against City this season, drawing both games though were even having a better opportunity of winning both games but this is a Semi final match while Guardiola and his men still have a chance of winning the Champions league and EPL tittle they won't be sleeping on this since we know they would love to win it, in order to have a chance of winning another treble just like last season. Chelsea on the hand lost the carabao final to Liverpool recently which was really disappointing because they were the better team especially since most Liverpool key players were injured at that time.

I think Man city may win this game especially if the Chelsea let their last to match against City experience get into their head and also Poch tactics are poor and competing against the best tactician will be hard for Chelsea team, we have seen when this his tactics cause more than solve a problem in our previous matches and we saw it today against Leicester even when he substituted Mudryk instead of Sterling who was later replaced also and Thank God both players who came did well to get a goal each to seal the victory

I think Chelsea's last chance is in the semifinals of this league. Because it will be very hard for them to make it against Manchester City. Although Chelsea sometimes changed the narrative by winning strong teams, but I don’t think it will work for Manchester City. For this reason, I have slightly lost hope in Chelsea winning because it will be very hard for them to overcome this semifinal. 

Although even if they are knocked out at the semifinals, they still have hope because seeing the performance that they have displayed in many leagues that they played this season, that shows that Chelsea have improved more, but my prediction win goes to Manchester City, which even if Chelsea had a goal, it will not be more than one or two while Manchester City will have not less than four goals, but we still wait and see the performance of Chelsea because I still have a bit of hope in them.

I didn't want to say anything about today's Liverpool game because I didn't really like how the team approached the game. They completely underestimated Man Utd, lost sight of the price and lost. There were many chances to double or triple leads yet they won't make the efforts to take those chances and it was painful to watch Amad and Man Utd come back to get that win. Anyone watching would know that Klopp did a couple of things wrong today with some of his changes. Nunez was already too tired and there were replacements on the bench (See J. DANNS) yet he left him there. Nunez caused the 3rd goal due to fatigue.

Goodluck to other teams still in the tournament. I expect City to wipe off Chelsea and Man Utd to do a sent-forth for Coventry city.

I was very busy to watch the FA Cup quarter final game between Manchester United and Liverpool from the start of the game but I was able to join the game from the second half of the game and from the performance of the two teams, it's absolutely obvious that Liverpool should've won the game on normal time. They missed their chances and had to pay for it in the extra time of the game.
I'm not a fan of either of the two teams but I know that Liverpool and Manchester United are one of the oldest rivalries in English football so I expect players of both teams to always give their best whenever their facing each other. Manchester United did exceptionally well in the closing minutes of the extra time and that was why they were able to grab that late winner. It's a huge loss for Jurgen Klopp who is going to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.

What a couple of matches to watch over the weekend.
First with Coventry beating Wolves that was the shocker to witness because Wolverhampton were leading in regular time and then concede both goals in injury time.

Now today seeing Liverpool taking the lead into extended time I thought it was sealed for the victory.
But then Diallo scoring both goals separated by a minute each was very unexpected to take Man Utd with the win.
These type of matches if you had any skin in the games, you would be sweating pools watching.

This is called FA Cup magic, but dont underestimate and wright off Coventry so easy, they are the last remaining Championship team.
Man United is in better form now but I would not trust them or bet on them with small odds.
This is a big chance for both teams to save this season so everyone will be motivated.

Old Trafford remembered the old days in the quarter finals of the FA Cup. Today they did not stop remembering, they advanced to the next round, eliminating Liverpool. In the second goal scored by Liverpool, after Nunez's shot, the ball was in front of Salah and he scored easily.

Before that, Manchester United players and goalkeepers were too busy, it was only a matter of time before they made a mistake there, and they did it, and the result was heavy. If Rashford had scored that goal in the 90+3 minute, the match would not have continued, but the eventual winner was Manchester United in extra time.

I'm not very good at analyzing the outcome of a match, but in this fierce match Manchester United managed to convert luck into victory.
Rashford, who should have scored the winning goal at the end, failed to do so. In extra time, Rashford covered up his failure by making Manchester United's game closer to victory.

If Liverpool has Allister who is the highlight player, Manchester United has Rashford who is the highlight player because golden opportunities from Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes mean the player's energy must be maintained for up to 120 minutes.

Now is the time to continue predicting the 4 teams that will clearly face each other in the semifinals.
Manchester City vs Chelsea and Coventry vs Manchester United.

Klopp throws away this FA tittle those unnecessary substitutions that he made. Liverpool doesn't only lost the FA cup, they lost passion and confidence because they took the whole game for granted while united were serious as if it was a final match. It hurt to say but Klopp himself costs the match with baffling substitutions because I still don't understand why Nunez played the whole game and Salah was subbed off. Both the couch and the players on the pitch play as if no one cares simply because there is nothing to lose. They were the architect of their own downfall with so many chances wasted that contribute to their exist in FA competition. Perhaps, they will focus on the bigger picture now which is the EPL.

As for Chelsea against Manchester city, it's better to lose now in the Semi final than to lose in final. Chelsea played draw against Manchester city this season both home and away but this semi's draw is not a favorable one for the blues at the moment.

Liverpool players relaxed and Jurgen Klopps substitute spoiled the game for Liverpool. Another obvious situation was how poor Liverpool defenders have been today. Virgil Van Dirk with the partnership of Konate is completely sinking sand as they was useless they failed to keep Marcus Rashford silent on several occasions tonight.

Erik Ten Hag knew this game would be used to guarantee his stay as Manchester United manager at the end of the season. Against all odds, Manchester United jumps in to win the game.

The presence of Anthony today was effective, I have to give the Brazilian his flowers today. More shout out to Bruno Fernandez, as he played defensive midfielders role and also center back for Manchester United today, can you all see how much of a complete player Bruno Fernandez has been for Manchester United?

Kobbie Mainoo also with those entertaining foot works in the first half of the game. Erik Ten Hag choices and decsion making today all turned to be hundred percent perfect. Thanks to Amad Diallo and Garnacho for that last goal. The future of Manchester United is in safe hands.
