Open the fecking wallet Woodward and go out and get Sancho. This night proves exactly why we need him.

No edge in attack and Ole doesn't trust the bench to come on and make a difference. We create chance after chance but struggle to finish them badly.

This simply won't do if we want to win trophies.

 

[glazed]

Another masterclass showing why we absolutely must sign up Sancho. Gutted

Surely we need to sign better defenders

 

[Sly]

Comedy moment of the night for me is the super slow mo of Lindeloff almost been scared of the ball as it floats over for the winning goal!

Semis are about the level of Ole, the sooner we realise that the better it will be in the long run.

Exactly. Lindelof another flop from Mourinho's legacy. United won't win a thing with this manager

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Williams simply isn't good enough for the club.

He is a backup, but unfortunately as usual Shaw is injured.

 

[Heinzesight]

I really need to know which player took out Martial in our last attack before their second goal.

It was one of the central defenders and one was already on a yellow. The fact the ref didn’t go back to book the offender screams to me a red card bottle job as the guy on the yellow had already committed a few fouls since his booking.

 

[Nr.7]

I can’t believe Rashford stayed on the pitch for as long as he has. He should have been off at half time. He was fcking dreadfull.

What the fck was Ole doing bringing on subs in the 87th minute? Any person with half of a brain could see that we were crying out for changes a lot earlier.

I’m sick of Lindelof and his soft ass switching off.
Van-Bissaka would be a great player to have ten years ago, a fullback needs to be a lot better on the ball these days.

An absolutely dissappointing result. feck!!!

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Should have won. Very good chances that we snatched at, plus a moment of chaos where they threw bodies infront of everything. They had 2 chances and scored them both. We were just not composed in front of goal.

Poor defending for the first goal, but those things happen. The 2nd goal was inexcusable. Maguire watches it go by him, Wan Bissaka watched De Jong sneak in behind Lindelof. Then Lindelof, worst of all, looks like he's about to attack the ball and then just stops dead. Zero communication between AWB and Lindelof. Awful.

 

[Crashoutcassius]

Massively disappointing. This season isn't a success. We did the bare minimum which is top 4. Defending was poor. A CB signing has to be number 1 priority even over Sancho. We should at the minimum sign both.
Next season the standards should be raised. We need to contend and win a title or Ole should be replaced with an elite coach.

so if city get 100 pts next season and we get 99 we should sack him and then use our top class negotiation skills to get a manager that will get us 101 pts the following season? barce going to appoint koeman you'd wonder why they don't just appoint that elite coach?

 

[Ole'sattheWheel]

Encouraging stuff but just wasn't our night.

Hope the lads have a well deserved rest, it's been a decent season, excited for the next one

 

[ReallyUSA]

Rashford should be apologizing along with AWB and Williams. Lindelof is getting schtick and I can see why. Woodward, spend

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Massively disappointing. This season isn't a success. We did the bare minimum which is top 4. Defending was poor. A CB signing has to be number 1 priority even over Sancho. We should at the minimum sign both.
Next season the standards should be raised. We need to contend and win a title or Ole should be replaced with an elite coach.

I totally agree with the last paragraph

Getting UCL was the bare minimum but 3 semis and not one final place is unsatisfactory.
He has to be better next season or sentiment or no sentiment, he has to be replaced

 

[Smores]

We were strong favourites for obvious reasons, played well enough but fecked it up in moments. Their manager got more out of there lesser players than we were able to get out of our own.

We'll hear excuses like we need to sign the worlds best in order to win a Europa cup semi final. Or the cafs favourite 'tiredness' bollocks.

 

[ayushreddevil9]

Lindelof and AwB.

God bless us for the next season.

 

[Paul the Wolf]

Most of the second half we played well but what's the point when you've got a numpty like Lindelof, Didn't stop the cross for the first goal and as usual completely unaware of what's going on around him for the umpteenth time in his time with us - fed up with it.
Top priority is a centre back.

Rashford was poor, Martial always trying to make things happen. Greenwood and Fred did well.

Just hope next season we have no-one whose surname starts with Lin ever starts a game for us again.

 

[Raw]

46 shots, 21 on target in the last two games and all we could muster was two penalty goals.

Can't fault the defending too much considering how fecking pants we've been in front of goal.

 

[Santoryo]

Gutted. Should have finish off this game in that 20 minutes stretch in the second half. Sevilla were just more clinical than us. I'll take heart from the performance though.

 

[Dobba]

Lads, it's simple. We'd clearly have won this game if we'd brought on the players, who got dragged deep into extra time in the FA Cup by the worst team in the Premier League who had 10 men, earlier.

 

[mazhar13]

The only bright side to this loss is the fact that the players can get some more days of rest and pre-season to prepare for next season.

The difference came in the subs, in the end. We pounded Sevilla hard and prevented them from playing on the front foot in the 2nd half. They dropped deep and tried to contain us in the hopes of not conceding a 2nd goal. These were similar tactics to when they faced us at Old Trafford a couple of seasons ago, and in the end, they worked out for them as our defence lost their concentration and let in a stupid 2nd goal.

Back to the subs: despite being better players, both Ocampos and En-Nesyri struggled against us. Lopetegui rectified that with two early subs in Munir and Luuk de Jong, respectively, and even though they weren't better players on paper, both of them made the difference in the end with their freshness. In our case, we could have taken off Rashford early, who broke up the majority of our attacks and was barely influential. James would have made some sort of a difference off the left wing with his freshness and quickness.

Oh well, it's all over now. Sevilla took their chances when they came; they made their subs when they needed to. We didn't do either, and those were the differences in the end.

 

[Tincanalley]

Am sad but pleased with the way showed up for this game. How many times post-SAF have we looked small time and meek in a game like this? The lads will learn and take a lot from it.

Well said

 

[starman]

Tried to play like Wenger's Arsenal at times trying to walk it in.
Would have won the game easily if we were clinical and ruthless.

As much as the defending was bad for the goals, so was the finishing, if you miss chances like those it invite nerves and mistakes which is what crept in and led to the second goal.

 

[.Phil1968]

So many chances, can't keep missing those in games like this. Thought the timing of our substitutions was ridiculous too.

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

2 mistakes and you're out. Learn from it and move on.

Move on to where? The same effing players making the same mistakes month after month. They're incapable of improving.

 

[RedNed77]

As a further aside, there’s a lot to be said about it only being the Europa league. I’d be much more gutted if that was a champs league semi.

Anyway, hey-ho. Onwards and upwards. Bring on next season and get some more fecking ballers in.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Ubited should'e won that. Why doesnt Ole use any subs? Some of the players were knackered after 60 minutes
Rashford looked like he needed crutches at the end.

 

[slored1]

We have some seriously overrated players in the team. Pogba leads the charge with being pretty useless in a United shirt. Never World Class (could be but never will)...and Rashford is a serious worry.

How the Pogba defenders keep backing him is incredible.

What the feck?? Pogba & Fred dominated the midfield, which game did you watch?

 

[kidbob]

I'm going to make an unpopular post to cut through the inevitable bullshit. A couple of years ago Sevilla played us off the park, today we lost to them but no one who knows anything about football can say we deserved to lose. The progress is very very clear. For 15 minutes they looked like they didn't belong on the same pitch as us and they are a very decent team. For the first time since Fergie we have made clear progress and actually look like a proper side at times. We all know we are 3 or 4 players short and hopefully we get them in, our sub options for instance are horrible. The fact is that the progress made and the signings under Ole have been mostly positive and I think it's honestly the first time in ages to be positive about the future of the club.

I was terrified before tonight that we were going to be given another footballing lesson by a technical Spanish side but the reality is that we've lost a game that we were more than comfortable in and were clearly the better side. Painful yes, but the bigger picture is that we have plenty of reason for optimism. Let's hope the right signings are brought in and progress even further. It's a marathon not a sprint.

 

[youngrell]

Well that sucked. Thought we played really well and to come up against another keeper playing a worldie was just bad luck.

Wanted an equaliser as much to shut up their bench as wanting to get back in the game.

Get some rest lads, big season coming up.

 

[Leg-End]

The only positive I take out of that is the season is over so we can crack on with no excuses on improving this team.

 

[Offside]

Let’s be real the defence has improved massively but it isn’t water tight. But then again why would it be all of a sudden? We still need to be focusing on a new CB and a new DM.

 

[RedChisel]

The worst thing about this is all the idiots that will blame Ole. We need to sign some sodding players.

 

[The Real Treble 99]

Very disappointed. Should’ve had them but just not clinical enough. Besides a few players the quality of our players is bang average. We’re light years away from the mind set of a club & team SAF had & built.

 

[Dominos]

No one will want to blame arguably our best player this season but Martial's finishing was aboslutely pathetic tonight.

It was obvious we'd lose after we failed to score at the start of the 2nd half, just put the fecking ball in the net lads.

 

[caid]

It was a close match against a good team. Think its a decent indication of our level - which isn't bad but won't satisfy anyone really.
Hard to fault anyone to much.

 

[DevilRed]

Let’s not get too down though. We were the better side by far and in a two leg tie under normal circumstances we would have probably progressed.

Lots of positives and definitely a far cry from the last time we played them.

3 shots on goal for them and they scored two. It happens in a knockout tournament. I’m encouraged by the performance and with better finishing, decision making and someone capable of crossing we would be looking at a different result.

 

[Isotope]

Open the fecking wallet Woodward and go out and get Sancho. This night proves exactly why we need him.

No edge in attack and Ole doesn't trust the bench to come on and make a difference. We create chance after chance but struggle to finish them badly.

This simply won't do if we want to win trophies.

Sevilla didn't need Sancho to beat us.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

I'm in a silent rage about that second goal.

What top side concedes a goal like that. Barca didn't even concede one that bad FFS.

 

[boxykronikle]

Our front four were crap. Felt like they never bothered to do anything but playing passes in the box. Our wingbacks never bothered to cross not even once into the box when they had the ball on the sides.

Last but not least, Ole is fecking tool for subbing out players late into the game and the overall team gameplay. If this the way he wanted to show the board that we need players, he is a fecking crap. Stop it with the nice guy act.

 

[youngrell]

We have some seriously overrated players in the team. Pogba leads the charge with being pretty useless in a United shirt. Never World Class (could be but never will)...and Rashford is a serious worry.

How the Pogba defenders keep backing him is incredible.

Award for worst take of the evening.

Pogba was fantastic tonight.

 

[Crashoutcassius]

god this thread is so much better than i expected, apart from the odd....

makes me excited for next season.

imagine they sacked ole in the morning, battled with barce for ronald koeman

 

[The Hilton]

You have to question Ole. You just have to.

Lopetegeiu made a change at 50 or so, changing a good player who made us struggle.

Made 4 more changes, and of them scored the winning goal.

Ole waited until 87'th to make a change once we were a goal down.

Unacceptable.

We were the better team by miles during the entire second half - Sevilla scored from their one chance due to rubbish defending.

We also have the issue that our bench simply isn't good enough, we need better depth up front.

On top of that, if any of our players could finish, we'd have won by 4 or 5 goals.

I'm frustrated too, but blaming Ole's management for a loss in a match we would have won 5 times over is very harsh!
