Missed the game yesterday. Woke up and saw it was a draw. First came to this site to see the general opinion. It felt that it was an OK result, we didn't attack much but did well defensively. Then I saw the extended highlights. There was I think 1 chance which could have been a goal in which Lukaku missed the chance. On the other hand they missed a lot of chances and we could have easily lost. We had that 1 win against spurs where Martial came on and scored against tired legs and now mourinho thinks he has found some kind of a masterplan and tries to do that repeatedly. De gea and the other team scuffing their chances were the only positives to take away from the match. It was a match that the other team deserved to win. With all the English teams performing well it was even more embarrassing. We are the underdogs now when they come to OT. If we score 1st we will sit back and they can even win the tie by equalising in the 90th minute. If they score 1st then I have no faith in our team that we will score 2 against them. I have full faith in mourinho and he is of course much more intelligent than any of us but the problem with him is that he is not evolving with time. This has all the makings of a disastrous season for us. And if anyone thinks we will be in top 4 come the end of season then just take a look at points table and our form.

DDG did the DDG thing to keep us from conceding.

We didn't play well. There's no cohesion at all in our team.

What did Sevilla do to deserve to win? Have loads of really rubbish shots? They kept the ball but had no end product, De Gea made one good save, the rest any of us would have saved, most of them sailed well wide.

I presume Jose thinks that we will be good enough to beat them at home, I fully agree and can't wait to go in 19 days time, can't beat a big European night at OT.

{Ed025's Note - i do admire your positivity GDS but there is a difference between that and blind faith mate, if you are happy with the way UTD are playing then it just shows how far standards have dropped..

Ed,

I decided to watch the 2nd half last night without the chat room as the negativity gets to me and makes me miss parts of the game. I enjoy watching United play win, lose or draw, we aren't as good as we once were at the moment but I'm not spoilt enough to think I have to support a team that is amazing. I obviously differ from everybody else on here but I know a lot of my mates and matchgoing reds agree with me, so I don't think this is the place for me anymore.

{Ed025's Note - i happen to enjoy your posts GDS and admire your faith, i just feel that sometimes you have to call a spade a spade mate, 2nd in the league and last 16 of the CL is not to be sniffed at and as a means to an end you have a good point, but i have always believed that UTD were above that and were the benchmark when it came to entertainment and creative football, i hope you change your mind as its good to have different views being expressed on here but its all about perspective, if they play well then by all means laud it up but if they are poor then its ok to express that as well, in the end its all about opinions and on that there is no right or wrong..

You're right, Ed. They were. But they aren't any more. And trying to get that back is clearly much harder than we all imagined, especially without SAF, Gill, and taking way too many years to rebuild our midfield and defence.

{Ed025's Note - in my view you have the wrong man at the helm arnie which is holding you back, you have the creative players and the wherewithal to improve the squad if need be but set up not to lose rather than win mate..
