Man Utd Thread:

you'd think that UTD were beaten by some diddy team from the Faroe Islands ffs.
Sevilla are currently 5th in one of the best leagues in the world if not the best.
they're also now unbeaten in 4 games against English opposition this season.
give some credit to Sevilla ffs. even just now scholes is still calling sevilla a poor team.

5th (by a distance) in a two horse race is not an accomplishment. Stop with your shit.

0-0 in an away first leg always tees it up dangerously. The longer the home leg goes on and stays scoreless, the more inhibited a team will become. By the hour mark this evening Utd, could no longer attack with any purpose because of the risk. Not that there was much effective attacking play before that.

The decision to start a rusty Fellaini looks poor, especially as there was never an aerial assault in the gamplan.
Also, Sanchez shouldn't start crucial games like this until he has properly bedded in.

After tonight, I think Mourinho has another 12 months in the job where he'll be expected to either atone for the poor showing, or else ship out.

I would agree, win the league and get to at least the semis of the champions league or it's game over.

So everyone is saying that Professional athletes aren't responsible 1 bit for tonight? Is it maybe a case of Jose is asking too much of them? Suddenly a two-time champions league winner knows nothing about football. Get a grip men. His gameplan can't be carried out by the donkeys he has surrounding him.

Sanchez
Lukaku
Matic
Lindelof
Pogba
Bailly
Ibrahimovic

How many £100m does a man have to spend to get the team he "needs" to play his game plan?

But this is the point I'm making. So he's spending 100's of millions on players to win competitions he has won before??? So he knows how to do it...but the players are blameless?

He's a dogmatic manager who throughout his career has created winning teams out of players with good technique, efficient tactics, and unquestionable drive.

At United he has bought a show pony in Pogba and a play toy in Sanchez. He needed neither and still doesn't. His tactics have no place for them. And between them they're pulling almost £1m a week out of the club.

I will almost never take the side of professional footballers as they're by and large despicable human beings, but if they're confused and annoyed by this "strategy", I can't blamenthem.

They've being awful in Spain this season. Soft centre and conceded over 40 goals. Maribor had nearly the same amount of shots on  target against them over two games.

Mourinho: "I've sat in this chair twice before, with Porto - Man Utd out, with Real Madrid - Man Utd out, so this is nothing new for this football club."

so Sevilla still not getting any credit here then?

[StGallsGAA]

That was utter shite. 

Can anyone tell me what Sanchez has added to the team?

Sevilla themselves have being poor over two legs but thought nZonzi class. One positive for Utd is that Lukaku is improving.

[Milltown Row2]

Utd and Jose don't know their best team, end of, someone earlier was saying Mata was rubbish, one of the best play makers in the EPL and he only brings him on when things go wrong..

Besides all of that Sevilla deserved to win, leaving a top striker (6 goals in this competition) on the bench to spring on tired legs worked out well

Sevilla deserve huge credit. They came to play and not sit back.  United played as if they were protecting a lead from the away tie.

He was superb against Liverpool in the UEFA Cup Final two years ago. Looked decent during his spells at Blackburn and Stoke too. Its a wonder none of the bigger English teams have ever made a move for him.

[stew]

Seanie and I have been trying to tell you lot for ages the manager is shite, a shadow of his former self, I could not believe his selections, and at the presser afterwards he was so full of shit it was not even funny.

This man needs to go before he ruins Rashford, Martial and Lingard, he is mediocre with a sprinkling of inspired now and again, that is not enough, not at Man Utd.

[StGallsGAA]

The Liverpool posters who went missing along with Salah and Mane since Sat have suddenly reappeared!
