This commentary is awful 
On the bench vs Barca '11
I like how the commentator explained that nickname.
Dessers with a proper 0/10 here
Aye. I was really struggling to fathom that one out.
In finals only win counts
This seems like a foul.
Can't believe people in Italy are pretending that Rui Patricio is any good. He's as bad as every goalkeeper they've had since Alisson
You’d have a point if we were living in a world where that was literally the only way to win.
That is the only way you come somewhat close to winning with Mourinho. If every player is not completely into his shithousery, then the team will collapse.
It's his proven recipe that brought him success time and time again. Why would he change it?
Well he’s had success with other things that worked for him for years that no longer work for him. Which is why he’s at Roma.
It's 2022 and people are still complaining about how Mourinho approaches his finals. That's how he plays it. Even if he ends up losing today, he'll play the next final the same. Has nothing to do with cowardice but that's the method he tried, trusted, and won him ton of finals before. He's not going to change at nearly 60 years old.
Opposition should just deal with it and find ways to counter it.
Smalling would comfortably be our best CB.
Let's hope the CL final is a bit more entertaining than this*
Maybe the second half will be more lively.
*I'd also take a really, really dull 1-0 Madrid

Exchange deal for Maguire then
It’s more the fact that he’s got a much more expensively assembled squad that grates me. If he was up against Real Madrid or something then fair enough. It’d be a bit like us parking the bus in an FA Cup final vs Aston Villa. I’d want the manager gone.
Boring to watch as a neutral
Smalling is bossing it, fair play to him.
Well, this is going exactly as I expected it. We just dont have the quality to break through and the first time they get the ball in our box they score.
He's managing Roma, not Real Madrid.
Smalling is greatly declined physically from were he was 4-5 years ago, looks bulky and staccato in his movement. Getting back when caught high up the pitch is a bit of an issue for him.
He is still in this state, quicker and more mobile than Maguire could ever dream of being.

If it yields a win then it yields a win. If not, then you can talk.
Feyenoord played a good match
But Trauner is a calamity and costed them a goal, a yellow and other risky situation
+Smalling, Zaniolo
+Senesi, Geertruda
- Trauner, Til

Ironic considering Nelson is their weakest link.
I think it's just English/PL bias, all of Feyenoord's starters (and some of their bench) are senior internationals, with the exception of Geertruida (Holland u21) and Nelson obviously.
He wont play Cyriel Dessers when he's at United though
Didn’t realise football was on tonight, am I missing much? Score?
Not a great game so far, 1-0 Roma at HT
Nah, it's a shite match and it will most likely end 1-0.
Boring as hell to watch but feel like the game is playing into Mourinho's hands because Feyenoord don't seem to have the quality to break Roma down.
As an out and out defender Smalling is better than anyone we have now bar Varane.

It seems mou will continue his impeccable record in finals.
How Feynoord is in a final is quite insane and Rangers too.
Shows the football is more even under the top for sure.

Feyenoord ended the half well I thought. They may get something. I think Roma will score again though.
Oh noI've already entered the acceptance stage of grieving
Think they're playing well in general, but don't look like scoring at all
