we lack control in midfield even when cas is there.

we have won once against the top 12 in the prem when playing away (Flex).

AND the team is tired and returners have to play into form.

sevilla are our nemesis precisely because they can control the ball in midfield and we can't.

we have two games against them + hard running brentford + brighton whose midfield bossed us not long ago.

remember: our form is smashed by liverpool, 2 sending offs against fulham (who were dominating us) or else we would have lost, smashed again today . in all of those games we seemed bereft of ideas.

Sevilla aren't that good at all. And they're suspect to pace on the wings. I watch La Liga consistently and these men are toothless in attack.

Brentford and Brighton will be tricky, but I think we can get 4/6 pts there.

hope you don't miss it when sevilla outplay us :ufdup:

villarreal also outplayed us for the same reason.

lack of midfield control.

you can watch la liga a million times and still miss these factors.

Brentford and Brighton will be tricky, but I think we can get 4/6 pts there.

brighton is the FA cup (semi-final) i think ..

brentford is at home.

As American that just got into it 4 going on 5 years ago, European football is a lot to digest. You have to give the average American sports fan a reason of why it’s important. CL spots don’t translate that easily

Hell, CUP matches aren't easy to explain.

He’s absolutely spot on. If Liverpool and Chelsea were in the usual form, United would be sixth. That 4th place of theirs is not progress. It’s actually a result of Liverpool and Chelsea demise. The fact that Liverpool smashed them 7 says it all

We don’t play or watch football with “ifs” breh. :gucci:

If Kolo Muani had scored, Mbappe will have 2 world cups

If Gilver had a p*ssy, he’d be a PAWG :gucci:
