When we face a fired up team who press all over the pitch we just cant match up. seville look like they have 15 players on the pitch to out 9.

ETH needs to work some magic with subs as that was dire.
Sancho is doing as well as anyone so why are some on his back.
Casamiro has been very poor and Erikson off the pace.

 

[Red00012]

Hard to pick our worst player there. Another disgraceful half

Take Antony out of the equation and you’ve 10 joint top

 

[mitchmouse]

Hilarious seeing the excuse people come up with so they don't have to blame DDG...

 

[DickDastardly]

The only option to replace Maguire is a half fit shaw

we need to sort the midfield as priority

I'd take a one legged Shaw over Harry.

 

[Gazza]

We're seeing today the results of not having

- first choice CB pairing
- first choice LB
- first choice striker/winger
- captain and talisman

It sucks to watch us play so meekly. But context, please!

 

[mu4c_20le]

De Gea knows it's Maguire, not Martinez

Also the pic doesn't show how quickly they were pressing him

Also shows AWB being covered and not a passing option. Savage talking out of his arse.

 

[Rayman96]

EtH looks like he needs a shit. Hopefully that's his hairdryer walk

To be honest, that looked as if he has already followed through

 

[saik]

agreed embarassing the pair of them. Don’t even do the basics

This is the best we can get from both of them. Some nice bits of play where they look good bit ultimately flatter to deceive.

If we want some fight in the 2nd half these should not be on the pitch anymore.

 

[glasgow 21]

Anyone blaming De Gea need their heads looked at this is league 2 Casemiro Erickson etc take that ball 20 times each half no drama. Maguire asked for the ball his call he is the captain after all and its on him.

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

We came into the game with a simple objective - win and go through. Some damage was done last week but what Maguire did there was inexplicable

That’s exactly why the damage was done last week. We’ve got the chuckle brothers back in defence, this was always going to be a step too far in these circumstances. Add to that losing the heartbeat of the team in Bruno and we’re double fecked!

 

[crossy1686]

Look goal closely. Maguire could have just let the ball go and run/pass to midfielders. Nobody was behind him

Yeah but he never looks over his shoulder, he does it all the time actually.

 

[Mmm-Qatarian]

Maguire called for the ball and then panicked. DDG was like at Max 10% at fault. Rest all lies wit captain fantastic, as usual.

I mean De Gea keeps playing these hospital passes and it's caused problems before. We conceded against Brentford because De Gea made another one of those ridiculous passes.

 

[RedDevil-85]

Awful 1st half and a terrible performance.
Its not even a good Sevilla side, embarrassing.

 

[Cutch]

Maguire is literally refusing to make any sort of forward pass. Sideways and backwards every single time since his feck up

 

[OmarUnited4ever]

I don't know who can be blamed here, De Gea should've seen the players pressing and Maguire didn't even look to his left when he asked for the ball only checked his right!!! Cheap goal to concede like that in a game like that, I am all for playing from the back and building up slowly and all that but why our players make such simple errors in judgement instead of just concentrating properly!!!

 

[DanielofLeyland]

Horrible performance. Nobody played well bar Antony. Our positional play just seems all over the place. Glad Wan Bissaka and Dalot have changed sides - should have come earlier. Casemiro looks really leggy and why is Martial playing centre mid most of the game? Truly baffling. Sevilla have looked like world beaters when all they've done is play controlled football. Rashford for the second half please!

 

[Enigma_87]

Also the pic doesn't show how quickly they were pressing him

or how slow was Harry lumbering towards the ball.

 

[Ibi Dreams]

I can accept him trying things and not having them come off, but he does little except pass the ball square or backwards and pulling out of challenges. Awful mentality. He's a Spurs level player. Compare his attitude and Antony's and it's night and day.

Yeah. They both have their limitations and neither are rapid, but look at how Antony approaches the game compared to Sancho. Night and day. Sancho needs everything going well to look good, he can never make anything happen on his own

 

[BorisManUtd]

Such a dumb pass from De Gea. Think Varane or Martinez would get out of situation but Maguire couldn't and will be hard to break them now.

 

[Ayoba]

Hi guys how many years before we can compete with City?

 

[DickDastardly]

Hilarious seeing the excuse people come up with so they don't have to blame DDG...

Blame him for passing to Harry?

Hell yes.

I'd make it a rule if I was Erik.

"Never pass to Harry Maguire".

 

[AndyMUFC]

It’s both De Gea and Maguire. No point taking a side.

Even with that goal, we have been fecking dreadful. Big team talk needed from Ten Hag.

 

[SuperiorXI]

dont really know how to turn this around. rashy on for sancho ok, but who should give them the ball upfront

It's a mental thing. They need to match the intensity of Sevilla, they need to fight like their lives depend on it. It's up to the manager to get this out of them. After that, we have enough quality to win for sure.

both clowns.. but if DDG was able to distribute better then 3 players closing in on Maguire meant field is open down.

How much did these players cost and how much are they on?

 

[Licha-Vidic]

Some people actually think we would be better without Bruno

To be fair, Bruno has been part of the team that has shipped countless amount of goals this season away from home, don't make him like he is Scholes carbon copy.

As always as it has ever been, with Bruno or without Bruno the main problem we have is we don't have a genuine quality midfield.

We get overrun everytime. It's so easy to see.

I've said it countless time, if ten Hag doesn't overhaul this midfield in the summer, results will unravel next season and he might be sacked.

This pattern of play is the standard now, not a freak result.

We need competent midfielders in the summer. There is no shortcut to it.

Midfielders and strikers is of utmost importance.

 

[JinnerJamie]

7 or 8 players on that pitch I'd gladly never see play for United again

De Gea
Maguire
Sancho
Lindelof
Martial
AWB
Dalot

?

Our captain is playing. Our first choice striker is playing. This is a quarter final of the Europa League and the players have played like the game was already decided since the 10th minute.

 

[TsuWave]

Maguire is poor.

 

[United Hobbit]

Anybody going forwarded gushing over Maguire when he does the basics right can get to feck he is absolutely diabolical and should never play again.

Absolute shambles of a player and captain, the whole team shits itself when he plays cause they don't trust him whatsoever.

Wank.

Ole's legacy - the fact he's fecking captain just rubs salt in the wound

 

[mitchmouse]

Scholesy spot on about ddg pass

 

[always_hoping]

The loss of Bruno can't be underestimated. Eriksen his replacement tonight looks very much the player that's been out for many weeks and is very rusty.

 

[Dec9003]

Look at the situation again. Maguire had like 10 yards of free space between the Sevilla attackers just before the pass is played out.

then he has like 5 yards of space around him while doing what he was doing and squaring it to the Sevilla player.

If you want to play it out from the back you need defenders comfortable under pressure. Maguire is clearly not one of them.

I’ve looked at it plenty of times, it’s not the safest pass nor is it the one that gets us up the pitch better. I’m not defending Maguire, he could’ve done miles better with it, but it doesn’t make it a good pass. Neither De Gea or Maguire suit playing out from the back.

 

[NinjaZombie]

Absolutely true. I mean Sancho ducked away from it. What a coward. Both in attack and defense.

Sancho is awful. What a waste of money he's turned out to be.

 

[Lecland07]

Take Antony out of the equation and you’ve 10 joint top

Wan Bissaka has been pretty good. We would be in a worse position without him. He has made more tackles than the other three defenders put together.

 

[Stan Jefferson]

I’m starting to think Martinez wouldn’t be any worse than Maguire even with a broken foot.

 

[RopersReturn]

This just confirms what needs to happen over the summer.

Maguire- sell
DDG- sell
Sancho- loan out.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Anyone blaming De Gea need their heads looked at this is league 2 Casemiro Erickson etc take that ball 20 times each half no drama. Maguire asked for the ball his call he is the captain after all and its on him.

Exactly. Banter aside, he had no reason not to trust his captain. If he dealt with that then it was a good pass and playing out from the back.

 

[Long Time Red]

The good news is I don't think we can play any worse.

We need to start winning the ball back though, tackles and interceptions so far:

AWB 5
Maguire 0
Lindelof 1
Dalot 1
Casemiro 2
Eriksen 1
Sabitzer 1
Antony 2
Sanch 1
Martial 0

 

[Garethw]

Honestly, Ten Hag gets away with murder on here. We've been the worst I've seen us in a while in big away games.

I’m seriously concerned about him.
