Awful. No United fan anywhere will be surprised by what they have just seen.

Cruising before Mainoo was hooked and Rashford was allowed to remain on instead of Garnacho. The manager did his best to get himself sacked.
 
The one good thing about winning like that, it has made a lot of Man Utd haters very angry and upset :D

We're all going to Wembley (again), we're all going to Wembley (again), lala la la, lala la la.

Rashford to get the winner in the final.....
 
No Utd fan can be proud of that performance.

Lucky, lucky boys

Out of curiosity, why lucky?
Both teams hit the woodwork, Utd had more possession, more shots and more shots on target.
Coventry got a pen that could have gone either way whilst United didn't.

In fairness, the disallowed goal at end was pretty damn lucky. I doubt it was due to the Utd defenders brilliantly catching him offside

3-0 up with 19 minutes to go. Conceded 3 goals.

Very tight goal ruled out for offside at the end of extra time which would have knocked them out.

Looked completely out of their depth as soon as Coventry got a goal and just lacked any leadership or plan.

A couple of better balls from Coventry in normal time and it might have been over sooner

I think lucky because they were 3-0 with 20 mins to play and VAR decision for offside saved them. That comes across as lucky
 
I have genuinely never felt so flat having just seen my side win a semi final.

How ten Hag can think bringing off Mainoo for Eriksen is going to see a game out against a team which has nothing to lose is beyond me, especially with a leggy central defensive pairing behind the midfield pairing.

Baffling management.
 
Strong stuff from Forests official "x" account.
Saying they highlighted that the VAR official was a Luton fan and disappointed nothing was done.

(according to Five Live radio)
As a Forest fan I agree that we should have had some penalties , a lot of VAR decisions have gone against us or been ignored , but this has been the same for other teams i.e Wolves . That tweet or whatever it's called nowadays is just bollocks and sour grapes.

Come on the Forest , still in our hands 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
 
Fair comment. Just replayed it to see what you're talking about. Didn't see it at the time.

Bruno still deserves the application of a little excessive force though.

I just thank the heavens that someone in a red shirt shows some desire. Love or loathe Fernandes, at least he shows some desire.

Rashford, on the other hand……….

Must be part of his masterplan :)

Take off Garnacho and Mainoo, knowing rightly team will descend into chaos. Then tell the owners "you want proof Rashford, Casemiro, etc are simply not good enough, here you go"
 
When City won the prem for the first time I was asked by a Utd fan to rub his nose in it. In fact it was more than one. I had spent a couple of decades watching purgatory football whilst Utd ruled Europe and basically week after week, Utd armchair fans making a beeline for me and taking the Mick. I couldn’t lower myself to that level. My response was “ there’s nothing for me to say you know you’re not the team you were”.
Quite frankly if I was A Utd fan today watching that I would be bloody livid. ETH, his set up is atrocious. A Prem team should have a Championship team chasing shadows. Rashford is quite frankly shocking. He is now a senior player and is a pathetic example. Onana wasting time with goals kicks at 2-0 onwards. His goading of players during the penalty kicks undefendable. Same with the MOTM Fernandes. What’s a horrible little rat he is.
I seriously hope City batter Utd in the final.
All that said. What a performance by Coventry. Denied a 4-3 victory by the finest of margins. But more so what a very good football performance for a Championship 1 team. Hope they get to The Prem

I actually think Casemiro had a half decent game at centre half. But Rashford? Oh my god. A player on the money he earns should be having a Championship defence on toast.

I really don’t know what the manager sees in him. I’d start Antony or Diallo over him every day of the week. Even when he has scored, I genuinely cannot remember the last time I saw him play a good ninety minutes.
