Manchester United 2:0 Newcastle United

Post-match discussion


Sun, 26 February 2023

Performance wasn't great, especially in the second half but it's understandable given the amount of games we've played. Playing twice a week since October is no joke. Players must have felt like they were running in the mud. Good effort defensively and clinical when chances presented themselves.
 
Gotta admit, my buy in with this club waned over the past two years.

Im completely, totally bought in with what is brewing now.
These such a great feeling around everything now, fans, players, manager. Properly UNITED
 
We have serial Champions league winners and World Cup winners celebrating this and there were “fans” on here saying today didn’t matter. Crazy
 
Got a feeling we’ll win another trophy this season
 
I need a gif of Erik dancing with Antony and Martinez :lol: Brilliant stuff! What an amazing job Ten Hag's done in such a short space of time. The transformation is miraculous!
 
Seen some people complaining about our 2nd half performance , I thought it was near perfection game management , solid and really professional. Great result.
To get that performance when we played an extremely intense game on Thursday was amazing.
 
Really glad the club has won a trophy. It’ll give the players that winning feeling with United
 
Absolutely buzzing! Great to get that trophy over the line and hopefully use that as a platform for bigger and better things now. Second half especially was nerve racking but we defended brilliantly. Over not anywhere close to our best performance but it doesn't matter at all.
 
Just feels so great to see my team lift another trophy. Its amazing how quickly you forget the feeling. I hope ETH continues to improve the team and players develop under him to higher levels.

Season will get tougher with games squeezed into horrendous schedule but a winning mentality with a cup in the bag will do wonders for the squad.
 
Haha, Erik just standing there and taking it all in.
Love him to bits.
 
Varane and casermiro winning so much yet never sated. Super pro mentality.
It is what playing for Real Madrid gives you. I slated their fans for being spoiled. But their ruthless approach to players brings you this. In Madrid you play few bad games in a row and fans booo you. Even Ronaldo and Benzema were booed there.
Absolutely ruthless. You perform there or you are fecked.
 
Newcastle had loads of possession but we were always solid and in control. Casamiro and Varane outstanding.
The start of many under ETH. What a manager.
Enjoy lads !!!
 
Great result, battled hard. Maybe not our best performance and we could easily have scored more on the counter in the 2nd half.
Hopefully this will give the team the confidence to push for more trophies this season!
 
Massive performance. Can’t be bothered by the comments that were anything less than magnificent in this cup final.

There was never, ever a doubt that Newcastle would score on us, despite from their perspective putting in a very decent performance.
 
Actually stoked for a lot of these players who are supposedly not good enough. There's nothing like winning a trophy/medal to silence the inner doubt and inner critics. Footballers are confidence players and this will help all of them push on.

Hutchison and Onuoha need to have their broadcaster cards taken away and ripped up. fecking clowns.
 
So happy for our fans at Wembley

Yeah the lack of freshness really told, I thought.

When the tiredness creeps in and you’re winning, you can’t help dropping a level. Fortunately we have some great characters with enough street wisdom to see us through tough times. Great team performance across the whole competition and did enough to get over the line today. Brilliant to see.
 
Very happy. Finally a trophy is won, wonderful! We have three more trophies to compete for this season, let’s win at least two of those three!
 
Think the image I'll remember the most from this will be Wout squatting down, smiling, in front of the fans, listening to them sing and taking in the scene. This one feels a touch special.
 
AGAIN, if anyone isn't aware. This win is our 67th major trophy. Liverpool are now officially one behind on 66 which :-

Once again makes us the most successful club in Britain!
 
We won the cup after playing a game every three days for two months.

What an achievement and mark of respect for the team, manager and the club (not you, Glazer, you rat).

So happy that SAF got to see us win a trophy again.

Also, congratulations on your first trophy Maguire, AwB and anyone else I've missed out.
 
Was never in doubt, Newcastle were absolutely toothless. The fact they got wound up more and more as the match went on because their antics failed, and as the more they struggled to score the more hope they lost was just so good. Well done lads!
 
We had a massive game midweek so it’s no surprise this was a bit lame, especially cagey cup finals also. Only one team in it though, think Newcastle only had one decent chance all game.
