Strange match indeed. Too many of the boys didn't come to the party early enough. Mata, Martial, Rojo, Valencia, Baily, Smalling.

 

[JustAFan]

Some calls went both ways. They should have been down 2 pkayers. Lingard did not see a 2nd for the same type of foul that got him his first yellow.

 

[podurban2]

Bailly

 

[GDaly95]

I appreciate his attitude. Guy's a winner. Knows we lucked it. Don't expect him to go full blast the team on the pitch, like Fergie at Aberdeen, but he'll drive the team to do more.

I'm relieved. We came so close to f'n that up.

Fergie at Aberdeen is exactly what I was thinking of too. I think Jose will bring the players down to earth with a very controlled post-match interview.

Pogba purposely waiting for everyone else to lift it so he can be the last and make a show of it. I just don't like that. Celebrate it and enjoy the moment but don't pretend you weren't on the losing side of the midfield battle.

 

[Ixion]

Plenty of people posting the "Mourinho looks miserable" type posts.

Yeah, no shit. He sees it as a small trophy in the grand scheme of things and doesn't want to spunk his load celebrating a League Cup win. Besides, he typically doesn't overdo it when he wins the bigger trophies.

It's nothing to do with the level of the trophy, it's the performance. This is a guy that loves winning even the Community Shield.

 

[TwoSheds]

Dogshit performance for about half the team. Luckily the other half showed up, and Ibra is just magic.

Matt Le Tissier's face.

 

[JustAFan]

Was martial involved in two goals?

 

[RedDevil@84]

Did Jose take the medal in his hand rather than on the neck?

 

[Ødegaard]

Not sure how you can say Herrera was rock solid, he was awful and lucky to stay on the field. Southampton totally bossed our midfield until carrick came on, lingard wasn't poor he did alright and scored hopefully mhiki returns soon and lingard can go back to the bench

I saw Herrera intercept more balls today alone than a lot of midfielders do in a whole season. (felt that way anyway).
Yes, he was lucky to stay on, but he was also unlucky to get his yellow card going by some of the other decisions the ref decided not to punish.
They bossed our midfield because they were more rested and had more men there, not because Ander didn't do his job, which he did.

 

[The Brown Bull]

YES YES YES!!!
That ones for 76!
Well done United, Zlatan the hero.
keep sucking that lemon Tyler.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Pogba with the cup dab

 

[bosnian_red]

Awful performance from us really. Sloppy, not much desire, no composure. Ibra saved us. Sucks for southampton but feck it, Champions!!

 

[Zlatattack]

Love the fact we won last minute. Manchester United haven't always played the other team off the pitch but we've always worked hard right to the end under the most difficult of conditions. I remember when we won the 1999 CL final, the tie was scrappy, Bayern looked on top, but we lifted the trophy because we scored the goals that mattered.

 

[Adisa]

People are dwelling on the performance a little too much. IMO, a lot of that was down to the fact that, this was our fourth game in 12 days.

 

[Needham]

Great game, Southampton were morally courageous in being so direct, finally the defence could hold them off. We steadied very well, in retrospect.

 

[Esquire]

Poor, tired display. Southampton were great.

But we dug deep and did the business.

Yep. Saw some poor performances today. Pogba oh man was looking such a bust and Rojo was weak at LB. Who cares though. Big win. Let's get smashed.

 

[Ramshock]

Give Ibra a 2 year extension ffs!

We were poor but we know how to win again

 

[JustAFan]

Yeah I thought Herrera played well today

 

[Sly]

Matt Le Tissier's face.

Does he looks as miserable as Mourinho?

 

[stu_1992]

Delighted we got it done in the end. It was a poor performance in all honesty but no one will mind too much with that trophy in the cabinet.

Zlatan. My god. Is there anything this man can't do? I was absolutely loving his interviews afterwards too.

 

[Peanut Butter]

Fecking get in! Drunk as hell and smiling like a Cheshire Cat.

I love Utd.

 

[The Taurean]

Zlatan deserves to win!

 

[Esquire]

True but you still would expect better individual and collective performances. That said, the difference was we had matchwinners. Biggest being Ibra of course.

 

[Ødegaard]

Not sure how you can say Herrera was rock solid, he was awful and lucky to stay on the field. Southampton totally bossed our midfield until carrick came on, lingard wasn't poor he did alright and scored hopefully mhiki returns soon and lingard can go back to the bench

Also, Lingard was useless today. No idea how you saw him as alright today apart from his goal. But If that's your opinion, that's OK.

 

[NJM78]

Best thing Bailly did on the pitch today.

Good point a lot of people will have missed mate.

No game in 2 weeks v us with loads is a pretty unbalanced and rare occurrence!

 

[themoyesboy]

Jose has the appearance of a man who agreed that if we win a trophy this year he won't be spending any money in the summer.

 

[World Game]

Was martial involved in two goals?

Assisted the assist twice.

 

[Esquire]

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

Bet you Jose will say that. He was not looking impressed.

 

[JustAFan]

Three fecking great goals today also


Southamptons goals were quite good also

 

[shaky]

We picked a very good day to start finishing most of our good chances.

 

[RedCurry]

Lol DDG got denied to lift the trophy so many times. Can someone please post a picture of him finally lifting it? I need closure.

 

[Adisa]

Was martial involved in two goals?

Yes.

 

[Mani]

We showed some urgency at the end,zaltan clear leader of the lot unlucky saint you played really well.

 

[Kostur]

Like 8 or 9 people today should be kissing Zlatan's ass because he bailed them the feck out. I don't know if it's shit mentality of our players or what but Jesus.

 

[Hugh Jass]

We were knackered. You could see it.

Good win though.

 

[carlosp]

haha Bailly's run with the trophy

 

[MadDogg]

Was it out of anger?

He was nowhere near that bad. He actually made a lot of important interceptions and clearances that went unnoticed apparently

Although I agree he had some very bad moments

Rojo was pretty damn bad in the first half.

He was fairly solid in the second half though.

 

[P-Black]

Still very nervy like the FA Cup final, some of the players became very nervous but than again it's because they don't really have the experience of winning throphies yet. But that is now changing!
Zlatan kneeling down and gasping for air at the last minute Brilliant!
