Match Thread Coventry City v Manchester United - FA Cup Semi-Final (3 Viewers)

[shmmeee]

Cost us??? We are in the semi final against Manchester United. What do you expect. It's over £100 million talent in their front 4

Not talking about just this game. In the league too.

Wrong tactics I feel. We are better with the ball and playing it on the ground. Play our football. We have set up to play so differently. Play our game now and we will improve. Get up in their faces, nigle at their ankles. We are sitting too deep.

Unfortunately Robins way. Same at Southampton.

No link between forwards and the blob at the back.

I can't believe anybody can seriously deny O'Hare's head is out the building already anymore.

 

[shmmeee]

Quick goal after half time and it’s anyone’s game. But they need to dig deep. Just seem overwhelmed by the occasion. We’ve shown we can hurt them. Need to step it up a few gears and use the ball better.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Also, bring everyone back for a corner to just let Slabhead have a free header anyway.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Score from kick off then let’s see how it goes

 

[Otis]

I honestly feel if we can get one back, Man U will really wobble.

Thought even he would be more up for it really

Kitching 70 yard lob?

 

[Evo1883]

If I'd have known we would play 5 atb and play scared I would have been more scared to spend over 300 quid for the day .. really dissapointing way to set up in a cup semi that won't come round again in a hurry

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

This dj stuff is so shit

 

[cunningstunt]

Shame we haven't got anyone to bring on for ohare.... He is lost out there

 

[pusbccfc]

Cost us??? We are in the semi final against Manchester United. What do you expect. It's over £100 million talent in their front 4. Not sure this is the game to be calling this out.

They are young and growing anyway.

Against Southampton and Birmingham yes. Not good enough.

 

[Liquid Gold]

So did I.

I suspect he's already agreed his deal, the only thing missing is the signature and this game means nothing to that.

 

[shmmeee]

Actually might be a game for Allen

 

[skybluecam]

Genuinely think there could be something in it for us IF we switch to a 4 and actually believe in ourselves. That’s a big ask though.

 

[Jamesimus]

I think the game plan was 100% the right idea, five at the back, let them play in front of us, limited pressing and stay organised.

However, the second goal going in has changed things and we have to have a go now, which will likely end in them having more chances - they’ve only had three that half and scored two of them!

I’m not going to be criticising individuals today due to the nature of the opposition. We’ve done okay, but now we have to show some more attacking intent and go 4 at the back.

 

[robbiethemole]

Everything is going through McGuire we need to be 5 yards higher and close him down make the fucker work

 

[stevefloyd]

Five at the back is utter shite and killing us come on Robins be brave it ain't working

 

[shmmeee]

Everything is going through McGuire we need to be 5 yards higher and close him down make the fucker work

We need to get in Maguire. He’s prone to a fuck up and we’re going nowhere near him.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Liam Kitching isn’t good enough to start for this football club I’m sorry

4.5 million

Love how we pick out individuals wtf has he done worse than any other player!!!

Win as a team lose as a team

I think he’s actually looked alright, just he doesn’t have anyone to play off and doesn’t have the physical attributes to play alone.

 

[stevefloyd]

4.5 million

I have to agree, he's aggressive at times but too much a liability with poor decisions and passing

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Oh weakness is down the left side today.

 

[Sandgroper Skybluel]

Milan and Eccles have played well Kitching has been a liability with his passing. Would like to see Torp come on for Lati or Kitching and get an extra body in midfield. Let's have a crack at them now.

 

[Matt smith]

Our defence isnt good enough

need at least one first choice Centre back this summer, if not two

 

[skybluecam]

Did arguably waste a great chance to get forward with a crap pass to dalot.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We need to get in Maguire. He’s prone to a fuck up and we’re going nowhere near him.

Casemiro makeshift CB, Wan Bissaka on the wrong side plus that clown in goal yet we haven’t really laid a glove on it.

 

[Tommo1993]

Some of you need to come down from cloud delusion. It sounds like people think we were gonna compete and possibly even be all over them.

Get back to fifa.

 

[Seymour_East]

How so?

Because his on par with the rest of the team

 

[Macca]

Team that’s been in decline for several weeks and got bummed by Blues struggling against super club. Can’t get my head around it

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Did arguably waste a great chance to get forward with a crap pass to dalot.

Course but wtf
Who hasn’t misplaced a pass

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Only vanEwijk and Eccles have looked close to their level. Need to go four at the back and move vanEwijk forward.

That's an old excuse. Gyokrores is now worth 100m and he was our player a few months ago. The gulf is not that much, it's confidence of the players. The mental approach. That's why 'giant' killings happen all the time. We need to step it up. Cautionary start was wrong, we should have gone at them. They were fragile but now they are going to be cocky. We must score next goal. Torp would be better than O'Hare and Allen if fit will chase all day.

 

[cunningstunt]

Only way we will win this is stoke tactics 442 long balls and pick up the scraps. Get ohare off stick latti in DM push up early crosses and play dirty
