Stellar performances here. Still being outplayed by Seville. Just missing the gaping hole in defence is all to top off the first half

RobbingBandit · 13-03-2018 9:17pm

Rashford is just excellent when he gets going

Rashford should be left with Jesse right and Sanchez in middle. Rashford can't do same damage as he can cutting inside on his right.

He is absolutely pointless on the right

Christ I hate souness

S.M.B. · 13-03-2018 9:19pm

Better direction from Fellaini there and that was a big chance.

Mantis Toboggan · 13-03-2018 9:21pm

We're like the away team here.

RobbingBandit · 13-03-2018 9:23pm

Fellaini getting a rough time tumbled over more than once now

StringerBell · 13-03-2018 9:23pm

Fellini playing well

PhlegmyMoses · 13-03-2018 9:24pm

Why are they just doing ****ing close ups of people rather than replaying ****?

RobbingBandit · 13-03-2018 9:25pm

Ridiculous ref and linesman

One of my mine gripes us how they outfight us. Makes me feel bad about my team. Why do they want it more like?

StringerBell · 13-03-2018 9:31pm

The lack of pressure us unbelievable

Trigger · 13-03-2018 9:31pm

Been better the last ten mins

Playing way too deep.

Awful first half from us.

I don’t think we have been awful, we have been ok, created one or two openings but just lacking in intensity.. I think that’s just a bit of hyperbole really.. it’s not like we are losing the game or anything..

sky88 · 13-03-2018 9:34pm

Very poor from united improved in last few minutes.

Thankfully sevilla are terrible in the final 3rd

Extremely poor.

Champions league ko game and we play like that. No excuses

Kerrydude1981 · 13-03-2018 9:35pm

Thats poor stuff from both sides

Lucky that the passing ion the final third by Sevilla has being brutal

Everything is being done too slow by Utd,need to up the pace in a big way in the second half.

13-03-2018 9:36pm

how would you say it, we grew into that game hopefully we continue the trend 2nd half.

loved rashfords run on the wing seems like such a long time since ive seen that at OT.

Quandary · 13-03-2018 9:37pm

Getting worried here. That first half was underwhelming and I've a feeling well need 2 goals by the end of the game if were to go through.

deaddonkey15 · 13-03-2018 9:37pm

Disappointing first half.

adox · 13-03-2018 9:38pm

Apart from fits and starts Utd have been poor. Back to passive Utd. Too deep. Too timid. Paying them way too much respect.

They look very tidy without any cutting edge and anytime we do decide to actually use the ball intelligently(rare) they don’t look great at the back.

Bailly has been brutal at the back.

RobbingBandit · 13-03-2018 9:38pm

Keeping them at bay at the moment just need the final touch on our end their defence has Lukaku in their pocket most times, Rashford has been a one man band just not getting through them yet, Lingard and Alexis way too deep so far maybe switch things up Fellaini has gotten a bit of trouble so far but when he's gotten to them he is showing signs of scoring a cracker, young doing well on the wing again.

Adamcp898 · 13-03-2018 9:39pm

Unimaginative. Sums that up pretty well I think.

Hopefully will see Mata before too long, take your pick of anyone to come off.

Yeah, too restrained. Not taking control of the game enough and failed early to deal with Seville pushing up and pressing a little. Got better when they decided to go over it and Seville ended up dropping off scared of Fellaini and Lukaku up there.

Reminds me of the Palace game so far only Seville could not find any real chances.

United need to do a lot more in attack obviously but also better as a unit decending, to win the ball back and get forward. These games are often about winning the ball and hitting the opposition when some players are caught up field. Every time they get a shot away, even one not dangerous allows them to reset for goal kicks etc.

I honestly think it’s an attitude problem as a whole rather than selection problem.

Actually i stand by it. It was awful. Very little good in it. Cant even pass the ball through midfield and we will prob need 2 goals

Rashford on the right after a motm display v liverpool from the left is strange

That's not true. Multiple times the ball was passed through midfield.

There can be some adjustments made. Notably put Rashford on the left.

Mata on for Sanchez IMO and Pogba on for Lingard

Disapointing??? That was 45 mins of utter ****e. Long ball up hoping for a knock on. As Souness said the kind if football you'd expect from a Championship team

13-03-2018 9:43pm

Rashford is no use on the right there. With Mata and Pogba out of the team there is no one to create or link up play once Sanchez is off the boil.

As I said before the game when the line-up was announced, the lack of consistency with a confident, winning line-up from the weekend was a bit of a concern.

Thankfully Seville aren't looking too potent in front of goal, but outside of a moment of magic I'm not sure where our own required goal is going to come from.

Hopefully that was the 'bad' half and there's far better to come now. Jose can be quite effective with his half-time talks and his use of the bench.

13-03-2018 9:44pm

Watching the game on tv3 but not the half time coverage, when Kilbane starts calling crosses long balls into the box your know there is an agenda set on the discussion, not saying we are playing great but a cross is a fecking cross

Don't think it's an attitude thing. Likes of Sanchez are out of form yes but that's not the same as attitude.

Plenty of players that like to pop the ball off to each other in the box but can't get it that far up the pitch constructively. Alternative seems to be switch the play and pump the ball to Fellaini at the far post. Unimaginative.

Mr.Crinklewood · 13-03-2018 9:45pm

Utd to win 3-0.

Now someone pass me a beer and strawberry bonbons

13-03-2018 9:45pm

Has Shanchez lost pace I also thought he was faster maybe I imagined it though

Souness well known for his impartial unbiased opinion when it comes to United.

Someone else using souness as a source of truth.

Threads going into the muck

Trigger · 13-03-2018 9:49pm

I think Sanchez is thrying to be the creator too much, a few times during the first half he could have tried have a go but instead tried a chip cross into the middle
