Didn't Sevilla win at OT not too long ago?
Yes, they had Montella at the time.
Unai Emery would have probably blown that like he done at the Camp Nou with PSG.

He really enjoyable to watch when he mad
Yes, but I do think there is cause for concern. Unfortunately for him, his price tag comes with added pressure to deliver almost immediately. He does need more time, but I'm just not seeing much to be excited about. Saka on the other hand...Far too soon to call Pepe a flop. Interesting how some people here consider Luiz played very well and others think he was rubbish, some people think Pogba was immense and some say he was rubbish. It can't be both. Really.
What will it take for Willock to start in central midfield?
He should be ahead of Xhaka, Ceballos and Torreira based on performances alone. He would have easily run through the United midfield this game.
Xhaka dropping onto the shoulder of David Luiz to receive the ball, only for Luiz to completely ignore him and play the pass Xhaka was going to play anyway, sums up Xhakas usefulness in progressing the ball. Defensively he is clumsy and clueless positionally. Balls he should easily get to he can't as he isn't athletic enough. On the ball he is basically padding his stats. At the end of the first half he made 13 passes with 9 of them backwards to our defenders. That is someone who can't receive the ball under pressure and isn't agile enough to receive the ball in space, so he just plays first time passes to the defenders.
Torreira looks so uncomfortable chasing shadows around. He isn't athletic enough to cover large distances. He needs to be holding in front of the back four ffs. We are making him look so bad.
Saka was quality and shouldn't have been subbed off.
Pepe is an interesting one. Lacking in confidence because of his execution. I noticed before he came that he didn't have the shot accuracy from the edge of the box. Most of his goals came from dribbling into the box. However, ask yourself how many times he gets into the box. We dont get our wingers close enough to the box and its because we play 3 defensive minded midfielders behind them. Willock -Torreira - Guendouzi should be our 3.
Agree about Saka but I'm old enough to remember Bergkamp and Henry being talked about as potential flops....Yes, but I do think there is cause for concern.

For every Henry and Bergkamp that took time to make it theres plenty of talented players that never made the big step up, no matter how much time they were given.Agree about Saka but I'm old enough to remember Bergkamp and Henry being talked about as potential flops....
You can't compare them because you don't know what the future holds. Pepe may turn out to be a flop or he may be the best player in our history, both are up for grabs. Bergkamp was a star but Henry joined us after an underwhelming spell in Italy, no-one dreamed when he joined us that he would become the great player he became with us.Nah, can’t compare Henry and Bergkamp to Pepe. Not having that. They’d already played abroad before coming here and were consistently performing for their national teams despite slow starts here.
Pepe can turn it around but he needs to keep working hard.
Bergkamp was a beast in Holland before going to Inter and dying a death. He was clearly as class player, but he'd only done it in Holland prior to coming to England, so most juries would have still been out on him. Bergkamp took 7 games to register his first goal in England and only showed glimpses of who he turned out to be in that time. He then scored a few worldies and never looked back.Nah, can’t compare Henry and Bergkamp to Pepe. Not having that.

Binge has lost it
At least our record at Anfield isn't bad as old Trafford we won at Anfield in last few years but at old Trafford we just can't winKnew we wouldn't have won, even against this ****ty United side. We just always lack something when we go to Old Trafford or Anfield.
Kind of a stupid answer because someone has to make it and Sp**s and Chelsea have looked sus.
The teams in third and fourth will be miles behind the top two but we all knew that.
