fancy pogs to score to gloss over his performance..

sligeach

Even though the flag went up, the Sevilla player still missed the target from 6 yards. Sums them up really.

mada999

wow was Sanchez on the pitch ??

Tony M please

Rekop dog

Montella should sub himself on and show these lads what a proper striker looks like.

A draw here and beat them at Old Trafford would suit me more than hoping to squeeze through on away goals and living by the seat of our pants.

Great logic there ! :pac:

On chances this tie should be over. Quite why Yedder has not played is a mystery.

Utopia Parkway

Sevilla would be decent if they had a competent striker.

Haha i think so not sure if that pogba lad is either

Jesus, Martial for Mata with 10 mins to go. I suppose Mourinho will have him pressing on the wing.

Sevilla are brutal up top.

It would be a nice thing if I never heard Ronnie Whelan's voice again for the rest of my life.

Nerdlingr

Two poor teams.

This really is dire s***e

mada999

utd are set up now with pace for the counter

niallo27

Pogba just turned his back on the ball and ran back to the the halfway line while Seville were in possession. Why not a bit of a press.

LuckyGent88

Can’t remember Rico having to make one save in this 2nd half.

Brutal performance. Absolutely no control of the game at all and only for Sevilla being blunt in front of goal we are lucky to still be level.

God I hate the man with a passion. Such a condescending arrogant way about him.

Yeah I noticed that, he's so casual and lazy.

Nice touch from Pogba. Rashford should have finished

~Rebel~

It really is astonishing that Seville are behind. Should have 3 or 4 by now from the chances they've created.

murpho999

Don’t get how any Utd fan can be happy with this.
Boring football and playing for an away draw is simply not the Utd way.

Never seen United sides of the past play this way. They always attacked games and went for wins regardless of the opponent.

Sevilla could be here all night and still wouldn't score.

Not arrogance, just miserable-ness.

I couldn't echo this statement enough. The man contradicts himself and goes back on his own opinions at a frightening speed

Nerdlingr

This match must have the record for misplaced passes

Utopia Parkway

What are these two on BT on about?

"Man United in complete control" and ""prime example of how to control a European game away from home".

Not a bad result in the end but neither statement is actually reflective of how they game went.

Strumms

It’s been a terrible game quality wise. I’ll take 0-0 considering how piss poor we been tbh.

Never great to go into a 2nd leg without an away goal.

Good result. Controlled performance.
We will win at OT.

I think another team drew here this year also if I can remember.

Both teams will fancy their chances 2nd leg I'd imagine

BorneTobyWilde

Seville only need a score draw now.

Urindanger

Incredible result for United. Played God awful yet they're still in the driving seat to go through. Tie should be virtually all over if only Sevilla had a goal scorer.

Im sitting here scratching my head listening to them.

"Sevilla have a mountain to climb in the next leg"

"Great controlled performance from United"

We were incredibly fortunate to get away with a draw.

Sevilla 0-0 Man Utd

I hope I'm not working on the second leg.

Mr.Nice Guy

Satisfactory. That's the word for it.

At half-time the narrative from the critics was that United were poor and hanging on, despite there only being a few minutes of a sustained Sevilla flurry at the end of the half. Then observe how the narrative altered...

Nerdlingr wrote: »

That tells you how satisfactory the performance was because even the United critics deserted Sevilla.

Jose here showed why he has two Champions League medals on his mantelpiece. It was the football equivalent of the rope-a-dope and like George Foreman, Sevilla had no answer.

A textbook European away performance.

Now with a big European night on the way at Old Trafford, United should put Sevilla to the sword; and if they can't, then they don't deserve to be in the quarter-finals anyway.

Satisfactory.

Denial. Utd are poor and are being found out recently.

Harry Palmr

Seville will regret thier managers lack of balls. Man Utd are the proverbial unflushable turd of this season's Champions League. Horrible stuff.

osarusan

Poor enough game really, Seville tried but can't finish to save their lives. United were happy just to defend all night and not really risk anything.

It's 0-0, I wonder is Mourinho happy with it. Is he a 'draw away and then bring them back to our place and have a real go' manager?

Yup, and were bloody annoyed by it.

Given the way the game panned out it was a good result for Utd though. Seville will be kicking themselves for their finishing. Should be taking something they could hold onto to Old Trafford, but as it stands, they've probably had their chance.

Nerdlingr

Crazy Ben Yedder didn't get a run out
