Fellaini starting that match was a surprise to me.
Whenever I watch Man United these days I come away thinking to myself "it is surprising how poor this team is on the ball, for a supposed top level team".
Seems to be their biggest weakness by far, they are easily the worst team on the ball in the top 6, and starting Fellaini is not gonna help them. Maybe Mourinho thought he could nick a goal from a set-piece, if that's the gameplan then they may as well have hired Tony Pulis?

I don't know what the fuck's going on.

I don't know what the fuck's going on. Football can sometimes surprise you, but just can't see Mourinho ever overhauling Pep, he's taken it to another level. It depends what Man United want now, if they're happy with spending £200m a year on new players and only finishing top 4, then they should stick with Mourinho. If they don't mind gambling, throwing the dice to try and become top boys again, then are think they're gonna need new ideas i.e. a new coach. But that comes at a risk. I don't know what I'd do if I was on the board at Man United, if I was a fan though, I think I'd want Jose out.

Christ the CL has been entertaining this season, even with Arsenal not there. First the Spuds shit the bed last week and now Maureen's Man U go and do that. Getting spoiled rotten here I am.

Seviile have European football in their DNA. 3 times Europa League winners, they are one of those teams you would rather avoid, in spite of their La Liga performances this season. Jose had no idea how no play them. He's made a bollox of Pogba. He's already making excuses for ....that guy who used to play for Arsenal, so he throws his version of a Hail Mary, Fellaini into the mix because he doesn't really know how to beat Seville. He doesn't really have a team. He's got a lot of talent at Old Trafford but no team.

Agreed. United 'philosophy' demands attacking free-flowing football (I'm looking at Liverpool under Klopp), Mourinho is a supreme pragmatist who defines himself on results, regardless of style. We're getting neither. All ain't right at Old Trafford. But we've got Fellaini. He's the gift that keeps on giving.

Sevilla deserved to go through after having outplayed Man Utd over two games in a row. They showed great spirit and character. If not for David De Gea's heroics, it could have easily been a lot worse.
A pathetic display by some of the Man Utd players who looked like they had completely given up, especially after going behind 0-1 with still more than time left to get something out of it. The opening 5-10 minutes looked promising, but soon it became far too obvious it was not gonna be an "easy" walkover as some very arrogant football "experts" said before the match, and all credits should go to the better team that night, which was Sevilla.
People were going on about United beating the likes of Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Liverpool over the last week, but if not for some dodgy referee situations and David De Gea, United could have ended up with zero points out of 9 and found themselves in a mess right now, they had luck on their side and the best keeper in the world right now. Last night the luck had ran out and they did not look like a team who has any business being in the Champions League knock out stage. If they had gone through into next round, I am not gonna think of how bad things could end up if Barcelona, Manchester City, Bayern or Real had been drawed against Manchester United.
The focus should be on getting back on track in england, securing the second place which is far off safe and the F.A. Cup trophy is also there for the "taking", but if Mourinho fails at getting either second place or an F.A. Cup title, then it would be very hard to justify his almost two full seasons at Old Trafford.
The good old times as one of the top dogs in Champions League is still miles away right now, but I do hope last nights humiliating defeat is a brutal wake up call and that Mourinho must realize that he must change some of his tactics, not unlike how Fergie had to change his way of playing when United had their own "dark ages" between 2003-06 in the Champions League, and which later on resulted in the clubs most dominant period reaching the final 3 times in less than four years.
Not sure why all are picking on Fellaini, as he was probably one of the very few along with Lukaku who actually managed to test the Sevilla goal keeper. Maybe not a great shoot but still a chance that was bigger than most of what his teammates created that evening.

Utterly fucking disgraceful!
Mourinho's negativity has consequences. This kind of performance is one of them.
