1-0 down going into the home leg is not a bad result. We’re definitely still in this.
We are, but we need to be so much better in the final third. Fornals and Vlasic were poor tonight. Antonio didn't really get a sniff other than his first half air shot.
I think Sevilla's experience will see them through. Another 1-0 defeat wouldn't surprise me at all.
Had the chances to score but AGAIN....our attacking player just aren't burying EASY chances....its maddening
Vlasic, Lanzini, Fornals, Benrahma....put their names in a hat and pick two at random because at the moment none are contributing enough, they ALL need to step up, one of then surely can grab a position by the horns
But we ltake the 1 goal down, can see us turning it over, but obviously it'll be very difficult
Atm struggling to see the goals coming from open play
Close game and Sevilla deservedly with the 1-0 win so far. Shame about some of their time wasting and feigning of injuries though, which will probably be even more apparent next week.
Rice played the correct deep role tonight but I’d like to see him making a few box to box runs next week. Also maybe Benrahama to start after doing well off the bench.
I thought we did really well this evening and but for a terrible lapse at a set piece we would have deservedly earned a draw. I feel had Bowen been playing we may have caused more problems and even scored as we did have a couple of chances. Our problem is we have no real threat in front of goal as Antonio is our of form and with no Bowen we have nothing to worry them.
We have kept the tie alive however and if Bowen is back and an atmosphere that will match any that stadium has seen we do have a chance. In some respect it may serve us being behind as Moyes can sometimes be too defensive against what he perceives as top teams but now he has to go at them from the first whistle.
Special mentions Johnson very good this evening Zouma so uncomplicated but very assured
Vlasik just lacking threat Fornals really poor this evening.

Gotta keep our heads here, 1-0 is still a good position to be in taking back to ours
A rash sending off would be a big blow

Frustrating, but the hope is there that we'll eventually click and give someone a good hiding.

Our sub attacking midfielder is always the one who does the most, whoever it is
Except for those pesky red stripes on the front of their shirts.
