That shouldn't be the case, they're probably outer 2 most naturally gifted players. They should be destroying teams together

That means Pogba in a two with Matic. No 4-3-3. Interesting but we need goals tonight and that's an attacking move. It doesn't matter if Sevilla score. Our aim is to outscore them and go into the game with that mindset.
Has Pogba suddenly agreed to pair Matic in a 4-2-3-1?
McTominay has really grown on me. The kid gives us a balance and stability that I love. If I would change that line up against Liverpool, I would replace Mata with Pogba and preferably switch to a 4-4-2 against Sevilla. But Jose hardly plays 4-4-2 these days so little chance of that happening.
This makes no sense whatsoever, in which possible circumstances can losing be better than drawing?
Now people started to make things up.
How is 2-1 loss better than 0-0?
With 0-0 or 2-1 loss, 1-1 draw means we are out.
1-0 means we are through.
Any win means we are through.
2-1 win means we are though if it's 0-0 in first leg, or extra time if we lose 2-1 in the first leg.
I was just trying to calm you down mate, sorry if I did the opposite. But I was also a bit serious. The whole team has actually a lot of good results this season and he has been part of that. The Bristol match was a meltdown but apart from that the results have been good lately.
I guess it depends on what we include in bein fit and fitness. It is quite common to have inflammations etc that take a few extra days to go away, when you play an intense 90 min after a long absence.I was really nervous before the Liverpool game. I feel really confident for this one.Im really nervous about this game.
Think we will scrape through with a 2-1 victory.
Really hope Sanchez has a great game tonight.Form's been good, shouldn't be a problem this. Comprehensive 3-0 win.Pogba to put in a highly disciplined performance.
Sanchez to have his best game in a United shirt and score.
Lukaku to get two.
Rashford to get one.
Clean sheet.My predictions I’ve gone with:
DDG
Tony
Bailey
Smalling
Young
Matic
Pogba
Mata
Sanchez
Rashford
LukakuI thought they were quite poor in the first leg, we'll up our game and it'll be comfortable.
Mind you as always nervous as anything can happen in a one off game.Im expecting Mata to be dropped with some weird role for Sanchez where he plays as a 10 but drifts to the right as well.
Either that or no Pogba.Hey @D_DeGea, Keep your best stuff for the @FIFAWorldCup this time
Thanks, Sevilla FC
Haha, class from Sevilla tbh.
I went for that too. A huge night for Pogba, time to see what he is really made of.
Have a look at their tweeter page/account.
That's not the only one.
They've also described Old Trafford and United as "legendary arena", and "privilege to fight at Old Trafford".Last edited:
Sacrifice!Going to be a nervy night.We just need to win, so simple. Meaning Sevilla has to attack aswell which will may play into Jose's game. We only get beaten once in 2 season here in Old Trafford. We should win and must be for the sake of insanity of United fans.I wanna bet on this game to have lots of goals but you never know with Jose . I really think it will be an open game with us creating most of the chances but i fear once and if we are up 2-0 or something he will set the team defensively as he usually does... but if that means we qualify then so be it :P .
I see Lingard starting for this one and scoring a hattrick, so excited !!
They were, but if it hadn't been for DDG we'd have got beatHave absolutely no doubt we are going through. They might get a goal, but we will beat this lot.
Instead Sanchez drops deep to pick up the ball and occupies the area which Pogba would like to roam into.They will score within 10 minutes. Caf will melt down. We will win 3-1.We need an early goal. Can’t have an all too common shitshow of a first half knowing if they score in the second we’re done for.So pumped for this. Going to get some work done in the next couple of hours. And, open the bottle of whiskey after that. Have been on a diet for the past 3 weeks but feck that. I'll be a nervous wreck during the game so am thinking better start early. A nice easy boring win will be thoroughly enjoyable.I'm shitting it. I think we'll win but it may be nervy. We'll need to be 2-0 up before I can be calm.
Fun fact - that advert was filmed on a rooftop in Manchester city centre.Daylight saving time has this starting an hour later 3:45 here in the states. I only get to leave work an hour early today but looking forward to it.
Make that 3! As the Liverpool game showed, if they pull one back to make it 2-1, the ending will be heart attack inducing levels of tension. The problem with not scoring an away goal.
Long shots that are in row z and dribbles behind the half way line!
just kidding. He will come good hahaBig match, would be nice to be in the QF of the CL again. Come on lads.
Need to score a couple in the first half, ease the tension a bit. The longer it goes nil-nil or they score it will be very nervy. (Stating obvious but my nerves are already starting)
Nice way to omit Huddersfield away.
Sweet!
It really depends on the game. There have been matches when we were 2-0 up and still attacking -- and the opposition never looked like scoring. I think Burnley away last season was one such game.
If we play like that, and ideally we should as Sevilla are wank away, 2-0 would be stress-free. But nobody is going to say no to 3 or 4 goals before half-time, of course.If u play Pogba in a 2...surely Alexis has to sit.... no?
We can’t afford to concede goals in this match. Alexis form been atrocious and he lost the ball 47 times against Liverpool. Jesse can seriously punish any Sevilla lapses here.
Chuck a poll up and I guarantee you the overwhelming majority of this forum thinks playing as the most advanced of a midfield three is his best position. One game at Anfield a season ago is not a good measure of anything.
He wasn't in the starting eleven.- Status
