Post-match discussion


Thu, 29 April 2021

Never in doubt. Roma are absolutely shite. The doom and gloom merchants in the matchday thread need hang their heads in shame.
 
Cavani with the pass of the season
 
There were some brilliant attacking movements during that match, particularly the second half. Lovely stuff.
 
Their luck ran out when we started playing football. Great game and attacking football.
 
Roma fans: "Make sure he remembers us."

Ole:

:lol:
 
Very enjoyable stuff and our big hitters turning up all at once (for once) was great (except Rashford of course)
 
Would a yellow card keep Pogba out of the final?

If so please keep him on the bench and bring on only in an emergency.
 
Crazy game. From looking like we’re going to bottle it in the first half to scoring 5 goals and playing brilliant in the second!

Bring on the final
 
Great second half in attack, pretty much the usual. Defence looked poor in the first half, so did Roma's
 
Regardless of the result, this is the football we play under Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. And it's absolutely horrific to watch, there clearly is no idea behind it. The Leeds performance was excused, we play a semi-final 4 days later, but then this is what we see. We are equally as far off the top teams as we have been when he arrived.
 
Roma looked like dross from the start, no idea how we managed to fall behind, some really good performances from Bruno, Pogba and Cavani, no idea how Mctominay wasn’t subbed off or why Rashford wasn’t taken off earlier but Roma was so woeful it didn’t matter.
 
To be frank, we could have scored 10 today. Many chances were missed despite 6 goals scored
 
Was expecting an easy game tbh: this Roma squad is defensively poor and the most influent squad players are not on the manager side.
We complicated a bit, but in the end we got a better result than expected.
 
I dont like this "United have broken their semi final curse they're off the Poland" malarky, however comfortable we are
 
We are nearly there...I can smell that final.
 
What a second half, thought we were in trouble after the first half but we were excellent in the 2nd. Cavani, Bruno and Pogba were all simply brilliant in the final 45min. Great score line, we should go through barring some disaster.
 
Great 2nd half and the 1st wasn't even that bad. 1 tough penalty and a soft goal. Our players showing their flair again. Smalling showing us the reason why we got rid of him. Our team just loves going behind just so they can unleash the devil inside in the 2nd half.
 
Class all round, what a second half from the boys, and what a player Cavani, love it!!
 
We shouldnt be in this cup. We arent an El side and are favourites to take away a needed CL spot from actual El sides. We should have just been out after the groups

But there hasn't been a team you'd class as "EL" worthy winning it....since what? 2009?

Although yeah, the other 3 semi finalists fit the bill though.
 
Wow - glum faces all round after 45 minutes.... and what a bloody superb display of attacking football in the 2nd half. Roma fell apart as we oozed class carving them open.... Cavani was awesome, bruno and pogba superb.

really great watch.
 
Great 2nd half after an unbelievably poor 1st. We'll beat them at theirs - they're total shite
 
Roma were unfortunate with the injuries in the first half. But they were poor from the very start but ironically they reacted better to the injuries and managed to disrupt our rhythm. But once we concentrated again they were completely outclassed although we did play very well in the 2nd half. Our attacking players really stepped up.
 
When Bruno, Pogba and Cavani are on song, they're wonderful to watch. Greenwood can be that too.

If we can find players (wide/Central midfield) and a formation to let them do their thing (while tightening up the back), we'll be golden.

We should embrace every minute Cavani has left here... a proper No.9. A dying breed.
 
Who are more embarrassing? Roma fans before the match or the reds throwing a wobbly on here at halftime?
