Man Utd let down their fans massively and bringing on Garnacho thier best player late on was a massive error.Too many stars played like they didn't give a toss and got what they deserved.

I must be in the minority as I enjoyed. Maybe I've become accustomed over the last decade and I can guarantee next season will be very similar from our perspective. Game very strategic and I thought Ange got his tactics spot on given the list of injuries to key players he has.

I'm just thankful that it didn't go to extra time.

As a neutral, without significant vested interest, I thought it was a showcase for 2 poor teams to play poor football.

It was like watching us beat Liverpool in the PL but Spurs don't have the excuse of a gulf in resources. I've never seen so little endeavour from a winning team in a cup final. Sure, call Man U out for not being good enough but, in terms of it being a spectacle, at least they tried.

Slightly bizarre interpretation. Especially considering Spurs actually had a slightly higher xG than Man United. So what if they ‘tried’ (did they? Looked a bit half hearted to me) - they didn’t win, and that’s all that matters in finals. There’s been many damp squib finals over the years, I doubt the winners care.

Pretty much spot on regarding the feelings. It's won it's in the bag & a big sigh of relief with the lowly league standing finishings totally at odds with the clubs size expectations pre season. Nobody from either camp from a winning perspective will give 2 hoots how it's come about.
