Its definitely part of the same concept. If the players are unfocused because they are unsure about tactics or generally unsettled as a squad then its the manager's responsibility to fix it before match time. Montella's squad of lesser, cheaper players didn't seem to have any issues coming to OT and performing whereas we did. That's on Jose.
Positives...

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Lukaku looks up for the fight and his all-round play is improving.
McTominay should get a lot more gametime in the coming weeks after Pogba's "performance".
We won't get annihilated by a vastly-superior side in the quarters.

Incremental.
No positives.
* Lukaku.
* The old trafford grass is beautiful.
* United are alergic to spanish teams. Good to know that.
* Didn't end up with a 1x7 scoreline (as a brazilian, i still show some signs of 2014's PTSD)
Thats it.

Lukaku, Bailly.
McTominay existing.
Lingard not forgetting how to make runs off the ball.
Rashford's drive.
DDG not signing a contract with Madrid after the match was over.
Being able to focus on the FA Cup, 100%.

We have a good goal keeper
My sore throat was healing because i screamed to took anger out of me after final whistle. Thanks Jose.
Exactly 'if'
You're assuming based on your opinion/agenda/perception that it's all the managers fault that a player worth 89m can't pass the ball 5 yards to another player
Maybe you're right, maybe these players don't have a shred of self sufficiency about them and they're going onto the field scared because of big bad Jose Mourinho's tactics and can't pass the ball from a to b.... or maybe you're wrong and the players themselves just failed to perform
I'll be off redcafe for a while and facebook too not to read all that horrible stuff on Sky, BBC or wherever.
I won't.
I won't.
Bitter disappointment has been replaced by slightly bemused head shaking.
Even he nearly gifted them a goal tonight.
Well everything points to Jose's third season meltdown... Wait! Positives?
Lukaku was good. He's proven himself to be what a Man Utd striker should be in the last month or so.
Mata being the only one to chase their striker down at the end was in its own way brilliant. How can anyone not love Mata.
That's it.

Lukaku was a better signing than Morata
Who? Young, Fellaini? The players he starts every game when fit..
I'm not sure I agree. Don't think I've seen 90 minutes from him where he doesn't make a mistake which could have or did cost us a goal. He's inconsistent. Last match he almost lost us the game. He was shocking for Sevilla's second goal and almost gave away a goal early in the game with a poor pass.
The tackle where he saved himself was immensely helped by Rashford who managed to sprint back and unsettle Correa.
Only positive or saving grace is that we won't be humiliated on a different level by a team who would humiliate Sevilla.
Other than that, no.
Other than that, no.
The positives is, Mourinho might wake up and have a massive clearout in the summer.
Lukaku was fantastic. The only player that was trying.
The biggest positive is that we're one game close to sacking Mourinho. One game at a time.
Another is Lukaku. Looks a great player.

We did not go to next round and get defeated 5-0 or something outrageous like that
The fans that left early missed the traffic.
Lukaku
United can focus on the FA Cup and securing 2nd.
LFC will now have to play a few more tough games in a competition I don't think they can win, and will then get dragged into a fight for 4th. While we get a Cup and secure Champions League money for next season.
Im trying here.....

The u18 team, and the distance between them and Mourinho's coaching
2 fewer games we have to watch.
We played 5 attackers at one on the pitch with an attacking minded midfielder in the end. In term of Martial defender, we only used 2 at the end. That's very offensive line up 
Whatever
Whatever
Nobody got spat on.
Most of them are his players now, he’s spent millions putting this shit show together. He’s spuked 35m on a defender who can’t even get a game when we’ve had massive injuries to Bailly, Jones and Rojo it’s a complete shambles.
Add Modtic to the midfield or Messi to attack and it would change very little because all we do is hoof the ball long to Lukaku for 90 minutes and hope for the best.
we didnt lose by a land slide
Sevilla did us a favour, if we came up against one of the big teams i fear we'd have been annihilated
We are better than last season.
We are better than last season.
It's my Thursday as I have Friday off.
Yesterday was a collective shit show. Mourinho got it all wrong, players couldn't cope with the pressure and our star players were shambolic, with few exceptions. What a dissapointing and frustrating performance. I'm almost 40 and watching football shouldn't agitate me, but yesterday made my blood boil.
We're not going to get knocked out by Liverpool or City.
Positives:
Very positive results against both Liverpool and Chelsea recently, plus a good comeback win against Palace.
We’ve cemented 2nd place and it’s now ours to throw away.
Seeing Bailly back in the side reminds us what a good defender we’ve got on our hands and Lukaku is looking the business now and will improve further.
On the downside we’ve just been knocked out of the champions league against a side we should be beating, not the first time it’s happened nor will it be the last.
Some might say a lot of posters are over reacting with their criticism and calling for Mou to be removed!

* Lukaku was immense
* Bailly back fit
* Errrr.....won’t have to fork out £40 for a Quarter Final Ticket?
