He got the most important game of our season very, very wrong. Top 4 will save him but I'm expecting a massive improvement in our side next year. Our midfield is a joke.
We were only going to win on penalties with a 0-0 and our defending for the second goal was dreadful - relying on penalties was always a terrible approach considering it essentially involved ensuring not one goal was scored in 120 minutes. That Sevilla team really wasn't all that impressive - just happened to be up against an even worse one tonight. There'll be extreme reactions no doubt but I'm baffled at how anyone can come away thinking that wasn't a really poor performance.Why is everyone so upset? This is the exact Jose performance that has won us the last 3 games. Coming from behind to beat a very good Crystal Palace after all. We were unlucky to concede tonight and but for that we had a chance to put them out on penalties.
Make sure not to knee-jerk about this because this is how we've played for the majority of the season. No shame in losing out to a very good Sevilla side.
We go again.
Edit: can we reopen my thread now?
You're giving him a pass here mate, his approach to the whole tie has been utter shambles.Should have gone for it in the first half. Oh well!
No, if you watch the game they have technically better players than us. Players that can play under pressure or when pressed.We were absolutely as good as that Sevilla team quality wise and had enough resources to beat them. And quite frankly if we didn't then that's a failing on Mourinho's part considering what he's spent here so far. He shouldn't be sacked because we've improved under him but I'm not sure why anyone would even attempt to shift any blame away from him after that shite performance.
Tony Robinson would be a better fit. He's always on hand with a cunning plan.Beginning to think Tony Robinson digging up his tactics book was a mistake.
Improving isn't a reason to keep someone because we need to keep in mind that the previous managers underachieved. The question is whether we are currently in line with our expectations or if we are still underachieving. The first proposition give him time while the second should get him sacked depending on how bad we are underachieving.We were absolutely as good as that Sevilla team quality wise and had enough resources to beat them.

Their midfield was alright but they really weren't all that incisive up front and were quite wasteful until the period when they got their two goals. We underrated them going into the tie but that exit was more down to our poor performance than their good one.No, if you watch the game they have technically better players than us.

We have a bunch of limited technical players. The world richest club and you have failed wingers starting as fullbacks. Rashford shouldn't be starting for us.
