I wonder if this might be Rooney's last game for United.

[Gazz]

We'll know for sure if they sub him off in the tenth minute.

Absolute farce that minutes silence / applause.  Seems like it wasn't known whether it was going to be one or another. Quite audible noise during the silence as well.

I nipped out for a snout and missed it. But that little hype video with the poet person was nice.

That was lovely.  The actual silence/applause in the ground though pissed me off. When they started the silence you could just hear shushing and people shouting and chanting.  Pay your respects ffs it's not hard to stay quiet for a minute.

I know I'm in the minority but I prefer a minutes applause than a minutes silence.

I like a minutes applause, we always stand up for the 96 and clap but if it's a silence which it seemed it was meant to be then just be quiet.  It's not hard. If it's one or the other just pay your respects don't be a dick.

Oh yeah, its just that with the minutes silence for remembrance day or 7/7 I just get a bit emotional my lip starts to wobble, so I'd rather do the applause and be manly  

And Pogba flukes a goal

NARRATIVE 

[The Lusophone]

Pogoal or another similar pun.

[DavidMarrio]

Stuffy as fuck that goal, classic United. 

 

[MDK]

Still, early goal could make this quite lively. 

Rashford just took a nasty knock to the plums.

[Nerf]

Ajax have been a joy to watch, but they're bottling this game. Nice to see plucky underdogs United staying firm though.

[DavidMarrio]

Final ball and touch is the problem for Ajax. They're slowly getting into it but the final pass or dribble just ends up giving the ball away every time.

Traore's had a stinker but IF he pulls something off, he'll break through the lines easily and probably score.

[The Lusophone]

Good half from United, well organised defensively and got the goal - deflected as it was. Jose was never going to adventurous in this game but I'd love some more attacking intent from United, particularly straight after half time.

He's the only player I can see making something happen for Ajax tbh.

This is one of the dullest European finals I've seen in a long time. 

[The Lusophone]

Dolberg has been quiet. Klaassen hasn't done much either. Up to Traore and Younes on the other side to make something happen.

Dolberg could easily make something happen. I think United made a mistake not going for broke in the first ten minutes when Ajax still seemed plagued by trepidation. Might be worth trying the same, as you said, at the start of the second half.
