    Having won a nothing cup that many of your fellow supporters think it is. How the mighty have fallen.

    It isn't a "nothing" cup though. It's a major trophy, albeit the least important for most clubs. However winning yesterday has other importance for United. The manager now has cup win only a few months into the job. It's an intelligent move. Look at Klopp and the pressure that he will be under if he doesnt start delivering trophies soon. Add to that his record of losing cup finals, I've sure he'd have jumped at the opportunity to be in Mourinho's position yesterday.

    Anyone know Mourinhos record in cup finals? Must be decent enough.

    I'd have said less considering his reign at Madrid? Total guess tho.

    Very impressive record if that's correct.

    Good final for the neutral all the same.

    11 from 13 since 2003

    Actually according to that article he's never lost a final in 90 mins and those stats don't include charity shield or super cup. Very impressive

    Mourinho was complaining about luck earlier in the season well he certaintly had it yesterday but it can often be the most important factor in a final.
    I thought Southampton were the better team.

    Ibrahimovic has been a great signing & his overall career is a bit underated probably because he didn't win a CL.
    Pogba had some good moments but again showed he isn't yet one of the best CM's in the world despite they hype. Still only 23 so he as time to improve.

    Southampton deserved at least ectra time, but from United point of view thankfully it did not.

    The Southampton fans were a credit to their club too. Tremendous throughout.

    The difference between a 3 day prep and 2 weeks prep certainly showed.
    I think Southampton could have won it had the match gone to extra time.
    Utd looked tired towards the end of the match.
    But when you have a born winner in the side like Zlatan he can make up for a poor performance.
    Smalling was suspect at the back yesterday and I don't like Rojo as a left back either.
    He has proven to be a better CB then LB, pair him up with Baily or Jones
    And if we can actually get Shaw up and firing again it will make for a much better back four.

    Funny I actually think they looked more tired than us for the last ten. We were worse through the game but we seemed to stay at a steady level while they dipped late on.

    Had it gone to ET I think we'd still have won.

    Maybe you are right in the sense that we pushed for the winner but that in effect could have been the players squeezing the last ounce of effort out to avoid extra time.
    Just a hunch more so than anything else.

    That's not why.

    It's no more complicated than he didn't play in England until now, therefore people on this side of Europe were kind of dismissive of his achievements.

    The CL thing is meaningless IMO when you've won 32 trophies.

    But then people would dismiss Messi?

    I've always been a big fan of Ibra and I'm delighted to see him win his first trophy in England. There were a lot of good performances from both sides and the one thing that I'd say afterwards is that United still have that week belly in midfield and they need to get it sorted or they won't make the top four. They might make Europe anyways because there aren't too many teams in the Europa league who can beat them imo.

    I just read this thread now myself and there certainly was a lot of saltiness from Liverpool fans but in the aftermath the response from a lot of United posters was just as salty. Too chicken to do it during the game but full of bravado after the trophy has been wonl and at a time where they should al be smiling and just happy about winning a trophy. It's just so childish too.

    It's all a bit of craic. I don't post during games. I used to do it and found the match went by without even taking half of it in.

    If lads are going to dish it out then they have to be prepared to take it back. It works both ways and it's always been like that. Nothing new there.

    Ah here! You're chicken if you don't post in a positive fashion or with confidence. Some of the posts back and forth are childish but so is that mindset. It's like being back in school.
