Was basically saying that Utd have been knocked out before it happens. Can happen against weaker teams ala Porto.

Looking back today our our record in Europe is quite frankly terrible tbh.
 
6/10 here as well, mind you most of them were guesses, both of them could realistically have said any of those quotes.
 
Still can't believe how negatively we approached that first game against Sevilla, in the modern game you have to try and take the initiative away from home. Away goals are so valuable now that you really need at least one to keep the pressure off when the reverse leg comes and your playing at home.

Still totally baffled how we failed to beat this Sevilla team, give them credit obviously, but this was a team that just got trounced at home 5-0 by Atletico.

this season has been a failure when you consider the investment that was put in, needed to at least win something of note. I guess you could still say the FA Cup and a top 4 finish isn't disastrous. But it is really hard to see how we progress with Mourinho from this season onwards to next.

I can't see us winning the PL with Mourinho while Pep is at City that's for sure. We need someone who is more ambitious, especially in the bigger games.

Not happy how we approached things either. But let’s not pretend Sevilla are some bang average side. There a top Cup side winning 3 Europa league titles recently and regularly tend to beat the top teams in Spain in there cups. Still should of gone for it more at away and defo at home.

Font think this season has been a failure for me. We’ve improved massively in the league only dwarfed by City having a crazy season. Got to we’re I expected we would do in the CL but still slightly dissapointed at the way we went out. Still think we will win the FA Cup. There’s defo been progression on last season in results but not so much in style. Even though we have played some good football up until Christmas.

If if there’s one person who can overturn City it is Jose for me always finds away to take trophies of him. And our record in big games has been good this season a massive improvement on last.

Just hope Mourinho finally gets rid of the ***** that is still at the club in the Summer.

Mixed season. League wise we've put ourselves back at the near top.

On the other hand Europe was a failure. It says a lot that Jose makes excuses while.the likes of Lukaku and Bailly say round 16 is unacceptable. Those the the players we need
 
The question we need to ask is if Jose was in charge of City with that squad, would they be playing the football they are (and obviously can do with a manager that lets them play) and run away with the league, or would they be scrapping for first place with us/Liverpool?

We have the squad to be playing far better football. We have individuals that can go out and win games on their own if they are given license to play and to their strengths. But its like Jose wants to stifle us and turn us into some rigid hard to break down side that nicks goals on the counter. Were Man Utd with world class players. Not Stoke. The way we have set up in a lot of games this season, we may as well have Tony Pulis on the touchline on a 10th of Jose's wage.

This Sevilla side is nottin' like the side that won three straight Europa Leagues. We faced a top side the third of those in Basle 2 years back. The side we faced this season when we should have wallopped them twice but threw both games away having lead 4 times over the course of them, wasn't a patch on that.

Only one thing cost Utd and that was Mourinho's standard negativity in both games. Having got the draw out there, albeit with a massive amount of luck, to then play for another and penalty's with the hope of breaking and nicking a winner was criminal. The respective stats over both games are cringe-worthy reading for Utd.

About time he looked long and hard at himself instead of excusing and embarrassing the living P out of the club and every last one of you lads the utter ***** he came out with after Tuesday night.
