I didn't watch the game and the papers don't seem concerned about anything other than Maguire and de Gea, and their match-losing blunders. Was it a really poor performance, one which will have ten Hag changing his game plan? Or was it one where he'll say it was a great pity that a good, solid performance was spoiled by a few crucial errors - "but these things happen" - and nothing fundamentally wrong? Sorry to be clueless but the stuff in the media lacks a certain something. United "gave it away" is a recurring part of the analysis, which suggests that Sevilla were presented with an undeserved victory.

He's improved them, to a point. But I think they are no better than any mid-table side right now, despite all the money spent.
The media have been telling everyone what a wonderful job he (Ten Bob) has been doing, how he has revolutionised the club since the paperboy was sacked. What an absolutely brilliant team they are now. Tactically he's as good as any manager in the league. If so, I haven't seen it.
Any half-decent manager would know that you cannot play out from the back with players like De Gea and Slabhead. It just cannot be done. Yet he still tries. Up against a decent team they would be destroyed, up against a half-decent team they would be destroyed, up against a poor Seville side they were roundly beaten. Either the man is stupid or he is incompetent, either way he is not up to the job,

I think he's doing it to say to the Glazers (or whoever takes over), with good players we'd be able to play out from the back, like God's Own from the Etihad. Basically, give me more money to spend.

His excuse last night that the rags weren’t ready for the game is frankly laughable.

Whose job is it to have them prepared and ready?

Sorry, I've watched that goal several times now so that I no longer see its pure comedy value. My first instinct was that De Gea was to blame more than Maguire and I still haven't changed my view. We often say that De Gea isn't good with his feet but we ought to point out more often that he hasn't got any brains. Whatever he was doing it was most certainly not "playing out from the back". Certainly mistakes can be made when playing out from the back and passes can be misplaced at any time in any area of the pitch but how a "Manchester United legend" can pass to a "club captain" who can see three opponents cutting of his pass lines to (distant)team mates and honing in on him. Any centre half would have struggled: the ponderous Maguire had no chance. The likeliest outcome followed like night follows day.

If you like comedy value, you must have enjoyed watching the goalmouth scramble in the second half. I'm waiting for it to come out with the Benny Hill music.

"Yes, it was a very sad incident.
It happened at the Etihad stadium on 2nd of Octoberl2022. City were 6-1 up at the time, poor little Martinez turned to run back to his own goal chasing down a through ball from the pale Pele. Anyway, Martinez didnt see the Nordic Meatshield coming in and he was flattened like a pancake.
We preserved his top half for you to keep.
The bottom half? That went to The Archbishop of Canterbury"
