We'll lose the first 2 games and have Mason for 36.
It's not just parking the bus, just a little more pragmatism in games. Calm down on the inverted FBs, 2-0 control the game and stop the gung-ho brick. But yeah, if he's learned his lesson and is willing to take some of his approach in Europe to the PL...

You can’t criticise him for the brick nature of the game. We’ve been crying out for that sort of pragmatism for a long, long time.
His future is a discussion for another day. Just enjoy the win. It’s fudging massive on so many levels.

Wonder what Mourinho must be thinking watching this, considering he got sacked on the eve of a final despite being the generational master at winning cups by parking the bus.
Guess it’s all about keeping the dressing room onside in this era of player power and hopefully Postecoglou can start next season as well as his first so this PL campaign becomes an irrelevancy as we begin a new glorious era of winning silverware regularly again.

Do they write all of that on the trophy?

For the next few days it’s all about the win.
On a personal level I’m glad for Ange, as has been said before, regardless of the job we think he’s done here, his journey has been exceptional.
Whatever happens, happens. What a great night.

Like I said before, I am willing to forget the abysmal league position if he wins the Europa League. He will have my support until winter.

I don't expect him to be here next season but the situation reminds of Alex Ferguson when he came down from Scottish football, he was on the brink of getting the sack at United but winning the cup saved his job, the rest is history.

Mate. Don't flatter yourself LOL...
I think you need to consider that his options last night to win the trophy were hampered by an out of form sonny (who looked off the pace and unfit when he came on - Tel would have been the less emotional choice) who was returning from an injury, and the loss of our three most creative midfielders in Madders, Kulu and Bergvall. Looking at who was fit and the task at hand, he did what was needed to get a trophy. That's pragmatism l, which ironically is what most of the Ange out phalanx have been screaming for all season.
If you're a dyed in the wool "Ange out" man, then there's nothing I can say that will change how you feel. But if we were to finish 10-12 and win the champions league next season how would you feel?
Fudge me, we had zero creativity in midfield with no Madder, Kulu or Bergvall. Ange got his tactics spot on for this one, it was never going to be particularly pretty and in case you haven't noticed most finals are pretty dour.
There was nothing to criticise about last night, it was great....
