I think if you fired Ole at half time they could've won it within the 90, tactically inept for sure. This is very unfair imo, though I believe that's the narrative BT were pushing. I'm all for piling on United being poo poo, but Villarreal have been in the top flight for all but one of the last 20 seasons and finished in the top 4 a few times, including a 2nd place finish. Spanish slightly better than Everton would be a better comparison.

Bacon Terrorist posted:This is true but under Emery they adapt a more Burnley like defensive tactical approach, even when winning old Unai loves a killer sub to concede the initiative on the hour mark. I'll take your word for that as I haven't watched La Liga in years and the final was the first game I think I'd seen Villareal play in a long time. My point was more how a lot of British media behaves when an English team is playing someone who isn't Real/Bayern/etc. They pointed out on Football Weekly that BT only had United pundits on with no opposing view at all. On that note, can we agree that pundit "fans" are loving awful? Like, Neville and Carragher are good pundits, but the poo poo "banter" between them about Liverpool/United that then gets clipped and shared on Twitter or whatever is painful. Of course ex players will be biased, but it's been played up in recent years and is really tiresome.
