De Gea happened
Caporegime
Harry De Gea's had a stinker tonight.
Harsh. De Gea was equally to blame for their first, he played him an absurd pass.
Obviously Maguire is awful and needs shipping out, but he's been far from your worst tonight
We've been dominated by our own ineptitude. Sevilla are not a good side. We have gifted this tie to them. The concerning thing is the repetition of seemingly attitudinal issues when under a bit of pressure. You'd only give Antony any credit for effort and application tonight. We have again lacked leadership and failed to do the basics.
Soldato
on the plus side, its 3 less games left for us to play, might get the players some needed rest between game now to be honest.
Back to the last few seasons where all the forward players are just looking utterly exasperated at being let down by the core of the defence.
Really highlights how good Martinez and Fernandes are, the whole shape of the team falls apart without them.

What mistake did he make in the first leg?

I so want Maguire to score a header before the final whistle and shhh the United supporters.

Again only so much can be achieved in one season under Ten Hag. I expect to see more improvements next season, hopefully we can keep hold of top 4.
To be fair he's inspired Bayern's centre back
Soldato
Probably better for the league going out.
Caporegime
A top 4 is a worry. I can imagine Spurs getting a result against us.
We are playing with Maguire till the end of the season remember that. Martial is injured again and will be lucky for Shaw to last the remaining games. This team is properly burnt out now from the games.

What will be will be it could be worse… Ask Liverpool and Chelsea fans
ETH has done a lot of good, but the Liverpool result was a worry, and this isn't much better. Still relatively early days though on the whole.
For me the big thing at the moment is getting new owners in (or not) - needs to be made clear what's happening hopefully ASAP.
Sunday will be interesting. We are one of the least press resistant teams and Brighton are tactically very disciplined. It's partly where Eriksen and Casemiro as a duo is vulnerable especially with Maguire behind them. It's not EtH style to punish players for bad performances but I'd love him to give some of the youngsters a run and let them fight for a place. I'd drop DeGea, Maguire, Shaw, Martial, Sabitzer, and Sancho. Some I wouldn't even have on the bench.
Soldato
Got to be someone in the reserves worth playing over Maguire.
Caporegime
If Glazers stay ETH is basically finished because they will not spend the money that is needed.
