Sporting-Juve could’ve easily been the opposite result. Adan with a huge mistake and then poor finishing from Sporting on the other end. Should be interesting in Lisbon.

Looking forward to the annual EPL favorite vs Spanish midtable ko next week. I wonder if the 300m net spend difference is enough for Man U to have a chance.

The 2-0 bottle job was so satisfying.

In other news, the Belgian teams are doing very well this season.

All these ties are wide open still. Should be fun. Hoping my Juve don't blow it...Sporting are legit

United with an epic bottlejob so far. Completely self-inflicted.

Hospital pass from De Gea, not much Maguire could have done with that besides sweeping it out wide first time.

I can't wait until we get rid of Maguire.

Give him back to us for free.

Ref wearing red and black feels poorly judged. That's twice a United player has tried to pass it to the ref.

Sevilla have been outstanding though. United can't deal with their aggressive press.

**** me, what a half from Sporting. A shame they gave up that goal off the corner, poorly defended.

Everyone in the world knows Harry Maguire is rubbish, but holy cow this is next level

What a pathetic display by United so far. I guess Bruno is way more important for their cohesiveness than some think it is. Martinez and Varane is badly missing and De Gea looks completely shaken.

lmfao

It's like watching Spurs.

Maguire and Lindelof at the back together just kills us. We cannot build the attack with them in there and it's an invitation for teams to press aggressively.

Happy for my boy Lamela. Injuries prevented him from reaching his potential, but he always gave 100% every game at Spurs. Nice to see him having a good run of games at Sevilla and enjoying a good cup run.

lol De Gea

Post #117 » by **Baphomet** » Thu Apr 20, 2023 8:42 pm

De Gea is absolutely cooked.

AK47MVP · Post #118 » by **AK47MVP** » Thu Apr 20, 2023 8:43 pm

Wow De Gea.... you would think playing at home in Spain he would be less shaky. Absolute shambles.

Sevilla could play in the second division and still well in Europa League. What a club!!
I don't want to hear excuses that premier league teams don't care about Europa League. In quarter finals everyone cares, and winning the Europa League is more important than getting the top-4. Not only you get in Champions League, but you are a top seed. Man Utd wanted this more than anything.

This is the biggest surprise to me. Man utd were ko'ed for this exact issue last year in the UCL & UEL last year. Bayern indirectly for the same thing this season. Players aren't aware of the the first runs to make in their default shape to make good progression options for their team.
