And I only feel for the genuine Man Utd fans that understand what the club should be about. The unfortunate truth is that United aren't a football club, they are a brand. A few other PL clubs suffer from this but United are the ones that suffer the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,390 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted March 13, 2018 To be fair to Mourinho, he's been quite honest and not angry as expected. Hasn't blamed the players or referees for once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 N'Zonzi has improved ten fold since moving to Spanish football, it was a good move for him and has bettered him as a player. That's not to say he wasn't good over here though either as he was Rovers' player of the season one year(and generally a solid performer) and Dickie was always fond of him at Stoke for a reason.

Chaaay AFC 357 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Agree on the punditry point, Scholes and Ferdinand were embarrassing. I get they played at the very highest level, but the come across so elitist and above anyone when they talk football. They never actually break down the game for me, its just the usual "I don't know where the passion and desire is..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him being overly aggressive when he was here (perhaps due to Stoke's style) but he's flourished even more in Spain. You wouldn't expect a player who played like he did for Stoke to play so calmly and dare I say gracefully in a Champions League side like Sevilla's. Really like the way he plays his game.

No, because they're better on paper. Have another look at the PL table, by the way 5 minutes ago, Dan said: I agree they were favourites but they've treated them like they're Stoke. Man Utd get talked up for winning the Europa League yet Sevilla won it three times before them. It's all to create this fallacy that the Premier League is stronger than it actually is. It looks now like there will be probably two PL sides in the last eight, which is an improvement but still a way off the top. This thread is spot on as well. Mourinho had an absolute shocker; Mourinho's got previous for this. I remember Chelsea fans celebrating like mad when they parked the bus and secured a 0-0 draw at the Vicente Calderon before quickly realising they were in deep shit when Atleti scored at the Bridge.

Subscriber Storts+ 2,424 Posted March 13, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted March 13, 2018 These are the type of nights we have needed. After a week of tension, warnings and petty squabbling I’m just glad we can all come together as one and just enjoy United being humiliated in Europe.

Panna King 1,012 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I think Sanchez has really caused a huge problem, he is so off form, also is causing an unbalance in the team. Mourinho cannot really drop him as he made such a big deal to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,670 Posted March 13, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted March 13, 2018 I've steered away from bashing Mourinho this season because United have looked better than they have at any point since Fergie left. However, this is such a poor (and deserved) result that it beggars belief this same United side won at Arsenal and beat Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea at home. I tend to snigger at people who say its all down to De Gea and a bit of luck but maybe they have a point. I don't watch United enough to bother arguing about tactics, pragmatism, parking the bus or how shit Pogba is. Bottom line is that it's nothing short of disgraceful for United to lose this tie in this manner when they've spent the money they have. Lukaku, Pogba, Matic, Martial all big money signings that would go straight to club record fees for Sevilla. Really a dreadful underperformance. I keep forgetting that Sanchez went to United as well. It's fun because then every time I see him on the pitch in a United shirt I remember what a shower of shite he's been since he moved there and how little sympathy I have for him after the way he followed the money to United instead of taking a lower wage to actually win things at City.

In fact, they're closer to 13th than they are to 4th. Sevilla really aren't that good. They didn't even play well tonight - their approach was better than United's, but their execution was awful all night apart from in the 5 minutes when they scored twice. They're better than the BT pundits wanted to give them credit for, but they were absolutely there for the taking if United were interested.

Sevilla were better over two legs and the fact they didn't have to play at their best (something they were showing in the first half of the season) shows what a fable we're fed over here. What the pundits were infact doing is what's been done many times before... defending the product! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
