With the absence of key defenders to injury, one area of concern for united is the defense, but Casimero has been handling his newly found role very well. I hope the injured defenders will recover on time to assist in the remainder of the season. After scoring three goals, I'm really surprised how united allowed Coventry to pulled two goals in to give them a fighting chance. Rashford has been really poor and would have been the first player to be substituted but I'm surprised he's still on the pitch.

In the last 4 matches, Manchester United has never won. They only got 3 draws and 1 loss. This time, Manchester United is serious in the FA Cup semifinal match. McTominay made Manchester United win for a moment with his goal.
It seems very true that Coventry City did not have a good performance. In terms of play in this semifinal match, Manchester United is much better than them and we will see that Manchester United's advantage will now last until the end so they can meet Manchester City in the final.

   Coventry City 0-1 M.United

Today is the second semifinals match between those two clubs above, and Manchester united should be able to win this match, and prepare to face Manchester city in the finals. MacTomminay have already opened the scoreline on the 23rd minutes for his club to be on the lead.

Manchester united is dominating the match, and I don't think that Coventry city will be able to play them to the extend that Conventry city will win the game. It is going to be a tough final for United, because they don't have the strength to play Manchester city.

No! Pep Guardiola expects the match to win as there are no more important preparations except for the FA Cup and Premier League so the preparation for this match is clearly done.
I'm sure Pep Guardiola knows what his team needs, on the other hand the players are staying fit despite having a busy fixture schedule, if that's the case then the match won't be as tight as the UCL match now looking forward to the FA final which is likely to be against Manchester again.

With this fact, doesn't it show how weak Chelsea is because they can't take advantage of their opponents who are tired because in two weeks they have more matches than Chelsea, Manchester City even remains the team that dominates the match which is lucky not to have to go through extra time because before entering the stoppage time Bernado Silva managed to score a goal and ensure his team reached the FA Cup final, and I agree that Manchester City did an insane job and that was also because of the role of Pep who was adept at seeing opportunities in rotating players.

It seems that the tight schedule that teams from the English Premier League have to face is their toughest challenge and that has been going on for quite a long time, and the parties involved should be better at managing the schedules of teams that also have to compete in several competitions in one season.

But congratulations to Manchester City because they have the opportunity to win several titles this season.

Guardiola and his players continue to run from cup to cup. It is undoubtedly a great success that they played against Chelsea in the FA Cup three days after a 120-minute Champions League match and won the match. If they had eliminated Real Madrid in penalties, they could have gone to a very different place, but unfortunately it did not happen, this success was left for another season.

Manchester City players were also really slow in the match, they were especially slow in defense, it was obvious that Chelsea made faster attacks, but Chelsea could not find any results, even though they tried more than Manchester City.

What Manchester City is doing with these many games is just insane… so many matches this season and it looks like we will have even more next season. I think this isnt good for players at all. No rest and so many injuries and this is causing serious problems for some teams. Guardiola is right they should have given them some rest days but i think they dont care.

While playing for Aston Villa he was still playing from the flanks but had more freedom to express himself for the club, but right now, Josep Pep Guardiola demands a lot from him and I think he is not ready to provide creativity and assist for Erling same way he did last season. These players fail to understand that creating chances and passing the ball always makes them a better player, this is same issues I have with Marcus Rashford as he thinks he must be the only one to score that goal.

I suggest they should go watch Wayne Rooney and all the services he provided for Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, likewise Berbatov and Robin Van Persie.

It's high time Mauricio Pochetino starts playing Nicholas Jackson on the wing. I've watched him closely and that's the best role for him. He has failed to take chances now he has the game time and opportunities. One day, he would look for it and not get it.

Manchester United have not won in their last 4 matches, so it can be assumed that their condition is not fine. Even so, Man United is still the favorite in this match because their opponent is Coventry, which only compete in the EFL Championship. Coventry itself also has a performance that is no better than Man United, so I think Man United will win this semifinal match as long as they don't make mistakes like in their last 4 games.

Ten Hag's mistake was always playing defensive football when they had a goal advantage. I think this strategy is very ineffective because it will give their opponents a lot of space to attack. If only Man United continued to play attacking football when they had a goal lead, I guess they would have a greater chance of winning.

Guardiola's players did a really huge work there despite being in a really tight schedule. Because they played for 120 minutes + penalty shootouts in the Champions League only 3 days before this match. Guardiola also complained about it a lot during the post-match interview. He criticized why they didn't postpone the FA Cup match to a later date.

I believe he is right about that also but on the other hand Chelsea have a PL match next Tuesday. This time it would be difficult to play this match next week as the weekend is also full of PL matches. 

However Manchester City did an insane job there anyway. 

Chelsea problem is beyond imagination seriously. They need both couch and striker next season if they want to remain significant in domestic games and the Europe competition at large. Pottechino is very weak and doesn't look hungry for victory, he's so relaxed even when things are going wrong on the pitch. For Jackson to play for the whole 90 minutes after missing so many chances shows that he has no winning mentality. To be honest, pottechino is too calm to be a Chelsea couch because his reaction on the touch line is very poor, he only knows how to fold hands and watch till 90 minutes.

It's insane to expect a different result when you are doing things the same way. Continuing playing Jackson as a main striker is a disaster because he lacks confidence which is the number one feature of every striker. Can't imagine manchester city who played for 120 minutes three days ago and look exhausted beat Chelsea that has been resting all this while. It's a prove that these players are not after the progress of this club called Chelsea but more after their pocket because even their reaction after the lose is something else. No remorse at all for throwing away the golden chances.

Man City deserved this victory because they had better control of the game and in terms of performance, Man City was indeed better than Chelsea. It's just that Chelsea also didn't play badly, you could even say that they have experienced quite significant improvement. They dared to play an open game against Man City and they even had 3 good chances which could have been goals, it's just that they were less fortunate in the finishing touch. I think with the progress Chelsea are making now, they can be a serious contender in the Premier League next season.

Manchester City advances to the final after narrowly winning the Blues 1-0. Bernardo Silva played major games and contributed alot to seal the final for the Citizens. Mauricio Pochettino should be blamed, he made late substitutions which would have been a huge target for the team's victory. Chelsea frontline, Nicolas Jackson have missed clear big chances this season and against Manchester City, it was so frustrating to see him missed one on one countless times.

Yes, both teams played quite an interesting match that night, and the score that was created was indeed worthy of City getting it, and City dominated the match with a percentage of 60% that night. And City really deserves to advance to the Final. Everyone definitely hopes that the final match will be a Manchester derby match. In general, United is far superior to its opponents. The reason is that Coventry City, during their FA match, showed quite a good game. I think they will fight or match United's game. It's true what you said if United loses, it's not just a bad performance, but it will be a nightmare in the history of the team coached by Erik Tag Hag.

Yeah overall Chelsea don't play bad I can say both teams are at the same level it's just that luck isn't on Chelsea's side, as you said Chelsea have some good chances but they fail to score goals even the referee did not give a penalty when the ball hit the Manchester City player when free kick in the 55+ minute and VAR is not used. Next we will wait for Manchester United to take place in the final because I don't think there are obstacles when they fight against Coventry today, even if Manchester United play with a second player, it doesn't seem to be a big problem. Erling Haaland was not in lineup for injury reasons  and Pep doesn't want to take risks because they still have other important matches. The final match will continue on May 25 and if Manchester City plays with the main squad then this trophy will be in their hands.

Jackson really disappointed Chelsea, he got two big chances to score a goal, but he didn't make it. If Jackson can equalize the points, at least it will be 50/50 when it comes to penalty. I didn't see Manchester City is dominating the match, both of them are equal in this match.

It's a tough choice

But I would choose Jackson is the worst because he can't even score any goal for his national team.

Why I Madueke dragged into this was because he has never live up to expectation just like the man Jackson. Madueke has the skill and speed but he just allow defenders to always take advantage of his sluggishness and you can never see him take a defender one on one and win the battle just like Mudryk or Sterling, the highest thing you see Madueke do is run and pause to pass the ball back I mean way back when he still has enough time to create chances and his shots are never accurate.
Pochettino on his own path has been declared as a watchman and not a coach, he's always at the touchline looking at errors without taking actions, if he had done something about these two guys (Jackson and Madueke) right from the beginning I believe Chelsea would have been the one celebrating. Is like Chelsea have more players that doesn't know how to give a one time pass to punish the opposition, why on earth did Chilwell delay the pass to Sterling? That would have been a move to level the game but he decided to hold on to the ball till the City defenders that doesn't take shit comes and clear the ball and you can see Sterling shouting angrily at Chilwell. I really don't understand Chelsea and these are the errors EPL clubs do just to make City look good and better than the rest in the league.

Plot twist, Coventry understanding their position as the team expected to lose, come into that game with all they can give, and then end up winning Manchester United that can be vulnerable.

Manchester City will just have an easy pick at the trophy against Coventry because unlike Manchester united, Manchester City do not joke!

The sooner Chelsea realizes that until Jackson improves tremendously, he would be more of a liability to his team. Game and game, Jackson continues to miss clear-cut chances. Even worse, it's unfair to his teammates who constantly get him balls in critical areas yet he's unable to finish. Jackson vs Nunez, I don't know who's worse but Nunez records as opposed to Jackson thst only tries to control balls.

Congratulations to Guardiola and his men. Winning the FA cup is no where near winning the UCL but FA cup + EPL titles this season will go a long way.

Everyone knows that Manchester City always wanted to get a trophy, so they have to try their possible best to get that, and they won't allow Chelsea to make them lose that opportunity because knowing that they have already lost the Champions League will make them play a no mercy game on Chelsea, which they actually did, and Chelsea also played their best because even the goal that was scored by Bernardo was such a lucky goal because it came unexpectedly to them, but the game is already over, so I can say definitely Manchester City are the ones to go with this season FA Cup trophy, because any of the team that will play against them, I know they will win them, which I am directing to either Manchester United or Coventry City, and it is already known that that team will be Manchester United, because they will definitely win Coventry City in their game tomorrow.
