Absolutely fecking dreadful. This seems to be the norm now.

If I was Mourinho’s boss I’d be expecting an explanation for the absolute shower of shite he’s serving up game after game.

Good result. We will beat them at home. We didn’t play well, neither did they. McTom grew into it.

Martial on for Mata return leg please

We came, we saw, we walked around, we are leaving.

Nice workout for DeGea. Everyone else was bored... or boring, or something...

If we can't win at old Trafford against them we don't deserve to go through

I don’t understand why we can’t just pick our best 11 players each week in a formation that suits their strengths.
Doesn't matter who we pick or the formation we play. Mourinho will not change.

Dull beyond belief. If it weren't for De Gea Mourinho would have a shit storm to deal with

An away goal would have been nice. Now, need to score 2 at Old Trafford just to be comfortable.
Hoping the line up was also with an eye on the Chelsea fixture. Shame about Herrera injury. Was playing well too.

Not a bad result but another performance to forget, we really need to find our feet again soon.

Not sure what the colossal overreaction in here is for. 0-0 away from home is ok, good chance of going through now.

Most of this forum want Mourinho... we get Mourinho doing what Mourinho does and we all start complaining. Isn’t this literally what we knew we were going to get?

The result is good. Nothing wrong with 0-0. But good damn it was boring.

Very poor performance. Not happy with a 0-0 at all.

Well, that was terrible. There is playing bad, and there is not resembling anything like a football team. All on Jose.

Sevilla are not good away, we are lucky they suck at finishing. Bring on Bailly and Jones for the return leg and try to win this with some pride.

25 shots for them, 6 for us, 8 saves by DDG. Damning stats, even if it was an away game. Ray Wilkins said Sevilla would be bottom 6 in the EPL? He needs to stop wanking himself off with the Union Jack.

We are truly Awful. No other way to describe that. As a team we look shackled and hampered tactically. The worry is we have looked like this for the last few games now. Im worried for Mourinho.

Jose is Jose and a point is a point. C'est la vie.

This simply won't work against better teams though, Sevilla should probably have still won.

We are a banter club we really are. All that money, all that quality and we play like some plucky underdog game after game. I was a big fan of Jose, was pleased when we finally ended up with the job but now, I am totally fed up with him and his bullshit. The whole Pogba scenario is a joke, the rubbish tactics aren’t fitting of this club. He needs to really turn this around or he needs to be sacked ahead of next season.

Really did well to keep a world class Sevilla team at bay.

Utter rubbish all round, but exactly what I was expecting, because it's exactly how we've played all season. Shite. I've no idea what Jose is up to.

Jose will be happy, he wanted that draw and he got it.

We defended very well, but we were totally set up to do so... Sanchez, Mata, Pogba and Lukaku were all shit, but they'd have had to turn in something special to thrive today.

Glad to see McTominay given the start in a CL match, impressive and ballsy by Jose, and a reassuring performance!
Average performance by the team, Good result.

Terrible performance, decent result.

I swear I should just write a script that posts this after every game. Or maybe it could check for the result, possibly even weighing it against the opponent and post it if the result is indeed determined to be decent by the algorithm.

Gutless Spineless Horrible.

All José needs is another billion pounds to get a team that can string three passes together though.

Typical Mourinho big game tactics in a match where an away goal is worth the risk. What’s the point of playing so defensive tonight when we just make things harder for ourselves in the second leg?

We’re becoming way too static and teams are more than happy to let us keep our shape - our opposition think there’s no risk for them roaming around the pitch because they already know where our players are going to be when we finally get possession. We had four lines tonight and with the exception of Pogba wandering about doing bugger all we never changed our shape. Our fullbacks provided next to no support going forward. When we went forward our front four had a wall of about eight Sevilla players against them, and everyone else was behind or at the halfway line. Then once Sevilla got the ball they had everyone forward - their players actually ran whilst we jogged about. We’ve become way too predictable and slow. It doesn’t help when we have star players who have already given up on the season. We badly need a captain who isn’t afraid to tell his team mates to feck off, and for Mourinho to start letting the team put attacking pressure on opponents and trust that we’ll run back into position when needed.


But then again I’m not a manager and right now I’m just trying to figure out how we’ve been so shitly inconsistent for so long now.

Well, pack it up lads. The way you lot are talking we're already out of the Champions League, Sevilla have already beaten us at Old Trafford, might as well not watch it.

Better than we deserved. Actually not bad at all for us considering how poorly we played. An absolute $hit shower from us.

Our strategy for the CL is to bore the other teams to death.

Exactly what Jose wanted. Unfortunately, not really what the players and fans wanted.
