Reading the comments here you'll think we hadn't just had wins over Chelsea and Liverpool in last 2 weeks.
Calm down, we will wake up. Just need a few proactive subs. Pogba and Mata on will be a boon.
I’d tell him to stop obviouslyReally?
What would you have him do? Personally doesn't bother me in the slightest...
Annoying the feck out of meI hope they score in the hopes it lights a fire under our arses.The state of this thread.
You can see what Mourinho is trying to do here. We look overrun in midfield because we're bypassing it. We are winning headers and second balls everytime we send a long ball into their half (specifically to Fellaini who's been clearly asked to stay forward), and someone like Sanchez/Lingard is running at their box. We haven't scored, however, despite creating good chances, and I wonder at what point will Mourinho say, I gotta change things.
We could have had luck with that Lukaku chance, or the Fellaini chance. I think our set pieces have been poor though. We should be doing better.
Fellaini will not be able to do the little tracking back he's doing now 20 minutes into the second half. I guess that's when Pogba will come on.
What good chances have we created? One shot by Fellaini.
Some of you lot have thrown your expectations down the drain. People are complaining because both sides have been an embarrassment.
Looking at the team tonight you wouldn't either.
Who would have thought reading the posts in JanuaryAll part of the bigger plan girls and boys. Jose is trying to make sure everyone wants us in next round, so we can win easy. Please, someone tell him we have to win this one...
Completely agree.Matic and Fellaini in a midfield 2 is a joke in Europe lets be honest.
They desperately need a playmaker in there to help them out, it just doesn't work. Neither of them want to pass or bring the ball forward themselves.
It wouldn't surprise me yeah.
I've generally defended Jose throughout his time but this is just shit. He's being the negative cliche Jose tonight.Zzzzz.
Bring on Le Pog. Need excitement.Don't get the negativity here. They have created nothing and have been hanging on at times. Can't wait for the second half.
If Martial produced these performances he'd be crucified. He wouldn't come out in the second half.The state of this thread.

The state of thread is the absolutely appropriate given the state of the football.
Are you saying this half was part of a plan?The state of this thread.

We've had 1 shot on target. Doesn't matter what we've done so far when that's the case.
Ha! Wish i could do that tbh. Reminds me of Moyes days and parts of LVG days when I lied to myself that I wasn't going to be arsed anymore. I always found myself breaking my promise to myself and I found myself always coming back.Bring Mata on.The state of this thread.

We have literally lost at least half the headers that have been thrown up. Someone put a stat up with Fellaini having an aerial duel win rate of 40%.How can Mourinho get it so wrong against this team?Banega being on a yellow gives me some encouragement. He might win the game for them if he doesn’t lose it.
Scholes because mourinho has gone after him in his press conferences, Ferdinand is always a moaner. I guess they must get some extra money to play this role of united being poorer than they are. United being poor always sells more than united being deecent/great/ amazing.
This is 4-3-3! Why do you think people are complaining Matić is sitting back?Sanchez getting a bit too much stick. He's always given the ball away a lot, because he plays a high risk game and is always trying to make things happen. He hasn't quite clicked with the team yet, but he's the only one trying to push the team up to press higher, and his work rate has been first class. Not his fault there is no team chemistry.Both teams been pretty poor imo. We have a very strong bench though, but I wonder if it will be enough since we’re not exactly testing them with our lack of intensity. That said we can play better than this, surely?
I think Jose just wants to get out of CL and focus more in the league. Thant lofty 2nd place is still up for grasp.
100% true. Jose has crucified Mkhi and Martial for WAY less. Just because he's "Sanchez" he gets away with it. Same like he never subbed Ibra, it's just strange that certain people are immune.That was quite average to say the least,we have to improve substantially if we want to win this game...Fellaini off,Pogba on...
This is exactly the same team as Liverpool one except for Fellaini and Lingard.
Seville were never going to be an easy walk despite their league form. They would always put 200% of their efforts in a KO. Anyone expecting otherwise is his problem.
Think because he sacked off Liverpool for Real and was a success I don't really class him as full Scouse...
...until he opens his mouth.
That's all part of the system... When people say the system, it's talking the tactics, the playstyle, approach to the game, whatever.
Mourinho's essentially trying to counter attack a team here who hasn't come to control and attack much. Like they keep the ball and go forward now and then, but they're perfectly content to keep it at 0-0. It's on us to take control and take the game to them and hammer them. Which we can. And should.That nectar mattresses advert lol
No way. I don't know if United is capable of scoring two goals. Plus the spanish time wasting would be unbearable.
Or they're just unhappy with the football. Albeit Scholes does tend to be a bit miserable when discussing us.How many times have we watched a shit half of football this season? All part of the master plan!Is Sanchez another fantastic player who has turned to shit overnight since joining us? Or is it symptomatic of our terrible style of football?We will score 1st in 2nd half then same folk will come out with "Drama queens", "This is why X person plays" all standard crap and guess we will then switch into defending for our lives coward style mode just to scrape it.
I'd agree with that. Sevilla have tried to play football but their finishing has been woeful in both ties. We've just looked really laboured and disinterested so far. Luckily I don't think Sevilla really have the quality to break us down though, so all we need is 1 goal to get us through.
Not with the way Fellaini is performing anyway, he's miles off the pace.- Status
