Leeds get loads of praise for their open football and attacking play but seen none of that from them today. Clear from early on they were playing for 0-0 with the hope of nicking a goal from the counter attack.

As for Man United, were probably only going to score from a set piece and were dreadful from set pieces today. On the plus side just 4 points required from the final 5 games to secure a top 4 finish for a 2nd season in a row.

Decent use of the bus today, Leeds happy enough with the draw. My mad Leeds supporter friend was giving me loads on WhatsApp!

Why would he do that?
Sure you don't support United.....

Eventful 1st leg in Old Trafford tonight. Bit of a daft 1st half United the better team but Roma led 2-1 from two attempts on goal. One way traffic 2nd half could have won by more than 6-2. Pogba, Cavani, Bruno the stand outs that Roma simply couldn't handle.

When did United last score 5 goals in a game pre this season? Scored 5 multiple times this year, 6 vs Leeds, 9 against Southampton and 6 again here. Pogba and Bruno as good as anyone in the world when in full swing.

That was as poor a performance as I have seen from a utd team. Six goals masks serious problems. Roma are 7th in Serie A and looked very poor. But hey they're in the final!!

Poor 1st half. 2nd half utd were excellent. Couldve scored at least another 3. 1st team to ever score 6 in a european semi final. Poor alright

Ah now

Roma gave up on the Serie A weeks ago (a lot of injuries didn't help) when they had a full hand and still fighting for 4th they were able to get results against the better teams in Italy (AC Milan, Inter, Juve) and they knocked out a decent Ajax in the last round of the Europa league.

OK fair enough but ole is the guy who is going to win league titles and challenge for champions leagues. Ole has done well to get them where they're at but can't see how he can take them to the next level. Too many slack performances

Rich Ricci · April 30, 2021, 07:16:25 AM

Only saw highlights of the game but Pogba, Fernandes and Cavani were all involved in some brilliant passages of play. I'd say Utd will be doing whatever they can to get Cavani to stay another season because it's unlikely they are going to get a Haaland or a Kane. His finish for his 1st goal and his pass for Greenwood's were both of the highest quality.

Not sure where Roma got their sub keeper from mind you.

Maroon Manc · April 30, 2021, 08:46:07 AM

Kane or Haaland won't be coming to United so its imperative we keep Cavani, he's far too good to be heading back to South America. He was superb last night, probably his best performance since he joined.

An Watcher · April 30, 2021, 09:26:44 AM

He is a top player although pity utd didn't get him a few years back. When I think back to the Uruguay strike force of cavani and suarez both in their prime, there weren't many better pertnerships in world football.
Pogba seems to be coming on rightly but is he contract up at the end of next year? He'll be outstanding next year but the minute the contract is signed wherever that is, it'll be tools down.

Rich Ricci · April 30, 2021, 09:48:55 AM

Yeah I know Kane or Haaland won't be happening. I meant more along the lines that they'll need a high quality striker to replace him. Not really sure who that would be. Andre Silva from Frankfurt and Andrea Belotti from Torino are 2 of the names being touted but not really sure how genuine any of that speculation is. Ideal scenario would be to get another year out of Cavani and hope Greenwood develops into a genuine premiership striker.
