Better team lost today. Feel sorry for the opposition fans and players a little.

 

[Varun]

We were poor but I couldn't give a feck. Cup final, win in the bag. feck yeah!

 

[Ødegaard]

Commented on the obvious before the game... Lingard doesn't offer enough (did score, and a good finish, but it was due to dogshit defending), and Rojo is a decent CB, but at LB he is horrible.

Good, but a bit slow change(s) by Mourinho. Our defense should have been addressed, but the rest was spot on in terms of changes.

We were lucky, some of our players, namely Rojo, Smalling, Bailly and Lingard being poor today, and Pogba/Martial being on and off throughout the game.
That said, Valencia, Zlatan and Herrera (apart from defensive blip on their first goal) were rock solid.

Great to win another title!
Super happy for the team, and hope it gives them the taste of more and gives us an extra wind trying to get that top 4 and Europa League win.

Why is Martial so miserable...

 

[Ludens the Red]

Won the cup all that matters. i do like how people kept going on in the match day thread about us looking tired and Southampton looked fresher. They were fecking spent by the 70th minute. So much for that theory.

 

[reelworld]

United wasn't on their best, but we deserve it. Feck anyone who said we didn't deserve it. We took our chances, they didn't. For once it was nice to be one benefiting from the post

 

[JTW95]

So harsh on Soton but feck em. They had an answer for everything except the big Swede!

 

[VeevaVee]

Can you spare a moment to talk about our lord and saviour, Zlatan?

 

[settembrini]

1. Southampton were great.
2. United showed fantastic character. Especially Ibrahimovic.
3. A left back has to be one of our 'two to three' summer transfers.

 

[Niall]

Are you forgetting how good Van Nistelrooy was?

Yes fair point.

 

[Ballache]

Meh, should have lost but don't care.
Zlatan is king!

 

[Cooksen]

Zlatan is the Cantona for the young people today

What a player

 

[SteveJ]

This was payback for the 2005 FA cup final where we were robbed.

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[JTW95]

LMAO that Pogba and Zlatan interview

 

[Raw]

Pogba: "That's why they bought him"
Zlatan: "Bought him? It was for free!"

 

[Woodzy]

 

[settembrini]

Ibrahimovic has 98% of the MOTM poll atm.

 

[suheilsworld]

Commentator to Pogba: How big a influence Zlatan is
Pogba: Yes he is that's why we bought him
Zlatan: Bought me??!! I came for free. To pogba: they bought you

Did anyone see this!!

 

[King.of.Red]

I am so happy!!!! woooohooo! 1st trophy, cant wait for next trophy!!

 

[Smores]

Some of you moaning about players etc. We just won a fecking title you should be grinning ear to ear.

 

[MadDogg]

Hard fought match, but we came through in the end.

Southampton were by far the better team in the first half. Second half was more even, and the longer the match went on I felt we were starting to get on top (despite them hitting post fairly late).

I'll take it.

 

[R'hllor]

Expecting Ibra not to pass 5.2 for this game.

 

[RedPed]

I'm soooo happy!!

Well done Jose, you da man!

 

[Raw]

Ibrahimovic has 98% of the MOTM poll atm.

He got my first 10/10 rating today.

 

[MoskvaRed]

Not a brilliant performance but we came on strong the last third. We starting to get that winning habit again.

Areas to work on -

1. Left back - urgently
2. Centre halfs (Mourinho has managed some great ones and must know we are horribly vulnerable to crosses)

Replacements over the next 12 months -

3. Someone to play the Carrick role
4. Someone to lead the line

 

[Smores]

Its not as big as the FA Cup but this just feels more important for me. Feels like we're on the right track

 

[JB08]

Mourinho looks like he wants to kill himself

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Zlatan!

 

[killerboi2]

Cracking match. Wouldn't have been too arsed if we had lost, not getting too excited at us winning either to be honest as it is only the League Cup. Just happy to have watched a great game of football.

 

[JinnerJamie]

Zlatan's trophy

 

[Dan]

Very happy with the win.

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

Don't like Rooney lifting the trophy.

 

[ha_rooney]

Smile Jose!

 

[ken11]

Let's not forget Herrera's delivery for the winner.

 

[Sied]

Cheer up Jose ffs

 

[togg]

It's about winning. You can play badly but if you keep going you can win...Fergie's moto. Brilliant from Zlatan...did you see how he looked behind to feel and see the space and move into it? The guy will already be seen as a hero.....he won us a cup....

Huge tip of the hat to Southampton. Even if they had won I would have said...yeah fair do's...they deserved it. But this is what building a winning mentality is...even when you don't play well you keep going...keep tapping away...it will do us the world of good. I imagine Mourinho won't be that satisfied...but that is a good thing. He's one hell of a manager...how many finals has he won now?

 

[Raw]

Its not as big as the FA Cup but this just feels more important for me. Feels like we're on the right track

I think it's because this feels like the start of something great. That FA Cup win was more of an ending to the LVG tenure.

 

[SirAnderson]

Anyone who doesn't give Zlatan man of the match is a real wum or plain crazy!

 

[Klopper76]

Why is Mourinho so miserable?

 

[GM K]

I have no idea how we won that.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

 

[vodrake]

Ibrahimovic has 98% of the MOTM poll atm.

I want to know who on earth voted for anyone other than him?
