Despite knowing that Manchester City are not currently in great form, before the start, I was confident that Manchester City would do anything possible to win the game. So, even as Bournemouth scored their early goal, I still felt that Manchester City were the favorites to win.This is because, when it comes to competition, it’s hard to disqualify a team like Manchester City, especially this season, where they are not aiming for any trophy except the FA Cup.i can’t say much, but for me, I still see Manchester City as the favorite team to win this season's FA Cup. However, let’s see what will happen in the semifinals. If Manchester City qualify for the final, it will be hard for any team that qualifies to beat them.
Their is no excuse what so ever. There is no time Manchester city would not want to win a game but we have seen several times this season that they did not leave up to the expectations. It was a very weak Manchester city especially in the first half and the chance they got Erling Haaland squandered them.
I think Bournemouth was very blunt today especially in their attack, unlike them. They did not really trouble Manchester city defense and they made the game easy for Manchester city.
