Like or loathe his style, you have to accept that what Mourinho does makes then ludicrously hard to beat. Wouldn't be overly harsh on Slot or Rodgers for not beating this side. 

Receiving messages saying we’d have beaten either of these two teams tonight. Naa it’s just Mourinho, a winner

The Europa Tinpot now the biggest for a few days in the English press because The Special One wins it.

It's the tinpot trophy again now we got knocked out, just like it was when Spurs were in it and we were in something better.

Exactly my thoughts.  
 

Slot a really impressive managerial prospect but that was pretty bad by him tonight. It was like a replay of our two games vs them. 

Jose loves anti football.

 

Got to score first against them or you are in trouble!

Congratulations Roma on your success in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy (European edition)

First winners of what will go on to be a trophy every bit as coveted as the old cup winners' cup. I'd absolutely love it on my CV

[Hammo]

Brilliant collective defensive performance by Roma. Feyenoord huffed and puffed but, like us, they couldn’t break down that solid red and yellow wall.

 

Well done, Mourinho. Five European finals with four clubs - all victories. You can’t argue with that.

[Tommy Fresh]

Just sign Senesi already Brendan

I view it as more akin to the old Uefa cup 

 

Third tier competition to generate more revenue for corrupt UEFA and that I pmsl at when Spurs were in it 

 

Ths only positive is that it gets you in the Europa League if you win it

If this woman in the studio says "Tammy Abrahams" one more time, I'm going to fvcking scream.

So would I but it is very amusing to see the press and pundits who are sniffy and belittling about anything below Champions League loving this as it proves Jose has still got it or something.

It’s just fvckin tinpot mate, regardless 

[Ric Flair]

You've got to begrudgingly respect how difficult Roma make games, you simply have to take any chance that comes, it's always a game of ridiculous efficiency vs Mourinho as they'll always bag their only clear cut chances so you have to do it and do it first too.

 

Feyenoord were hideous that final 15 mins, it was exactly like watching us actually hahahaa. 

 

Senesi, Kokcu and their keeper still did well though overall. I'd love us to get a couple of them in.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

At least Feyenoord got into some decent positions and made Roma work a little bit for it. They just perhaps overplayed too much when they got into those positions.

People weren't saying that when we were in the semi though!

Smalling not being in the England squad is even dumber than Maddison’s exclusion

Yeah but they weren't playing them on their own patch tho.  Chasing a game away in front of 70k home fans and an intimidated referee is harder than a neutral venue

Well done to Roma. Well deserved.

Saw this debate on here before 

 

I still think Uefa

 

To win the FA cup used to be a much bigger thing back in the day than finishing 2nd to 5th in the league

We had a home leg too. We didn't do enough there either.

This is from the cup winners cup Wiki page which is how I remember things 

 

The Cup Winners' Cup was regarded by UEFA as the second most prestigious European club competition, behind the European Cup and ahead of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (later the UEFA Cup).

I'm not denying Roma the win. Deserved winners of the competition. 

 

Just don't think Feyenoord did better than us. Chances are, had we have squeezed past Roma (maddisons slip in the first leg proving critical in the end) we'd have had too much fir Feyenoord (as we had for PSV)

Cup winners' cup was defo number 2  until the  champions league. After that, the usual cup winners often opted for the CL instead (having finished, say, 3rd in the league too) and the CWC was consequently destroyed, often being played out in its latter years by the cup runners-up , often of obscure teams

 

The old uefa cup didn't even have a proper final until its latter years. 2 legged final home and away was the format
