I don't know Chris. Saying it's a nothing match doesn't really excuse how woeful we were for 70 minutes, Tevez and Evra aside.

Not impressed with that; however as Chris said perhaps we weren't up for it. Mind you, it was a Cup Final therefore the players should have been motivated; that certainly seemed to be the message from SAF.
Tevez was definitely MoM; he was tireless. Nani was worst player on the pitch. I was actually quite impressed with O'Shea when he came on; he could have had a couple of goals with a bit of luck. Good to see Park and Neville get some minutes.
Based upon that performance, I think it is quite clear we would benefit from a front man who could hold up the ball and win headers in and around the box. For all their endeavours, neither Rooney nor Tevez are that man. If that player is Berbatov, Huntelaar, Pavlyuchenko, or whoever remains to be seen.

One thing we did learn is that Scholes has a career in basketball after he hangs up his boots.
Zenit may well surprise Real Bastards and Juve in the Champs League.

Scholes may well be out of the Villareal game now because of his Kobe Bryant impersonation.

Shite. Tevez and Evra were the only players who turned up. Nani was absolute shit and we didn't deserve anything from it. Ridiculous from Scholes too and now he's got a European ban. Well done lads.

They looked good to be fair and like Fletch says, maybe we should be aware of the Russians in the Champs league this year. They won't be good enough to win but, like Lyon, they could be a shock choice to go far. No Ronaldo worries me personally. We should be good enough without him but are we really?

I managed to watch it from just after Vida's goal so what I saw was the decent part of the match. Dunno what the hell Scholes was thinking but when Fergie defended him in the interview and then found out he was suspended his face was a bloody legend. Don't think he'll be defending him so much now! Tevez was immense, he's going to be key for us this season as long as the goals start to flow. Would have preferred the win of course! but it's not as important as the league and CL. We'll just have to settle for the 6 trophies

Am really upset with Nani. He had the perfect chance to rise up to the occassion but he completely failed. Ronaldo is the backbone of our team. Our team is formed around him, there is no denying that. Absolute shit performance. Zenit dominated for most parts of the game.

Gutted about that, I actually wanted to win that trophy, probably the only one and we were poor, apart from when we went 2-0 down.
Zenit are good and maybe more match fit than us but we should never been ripped apart like we were at times.
Gutted.

Disappointed really , expected much from the game. Didn't get to see the game so don't know how poor we really were. Scholes scored a brilliant volley though !

really really bad game. if we go on playing like that we wont win anything.
i hate the way our wingers play. fletscher and nani nearly never were on their positions. it looked like they wanted to play striker, or central midfielder. in my opinion rooney and tevez were more often on the sideline than fletscher and nani.
hope hagro and giggs are available soon to play winger.
cheers
