Maguire doesn't have the big name either. Still, United paid an awful lot of money for him a few years ago. It was perhaps sheer bad luck that the ball went in through him and it ended up being 2-2. But it is typical that it happens to him, other players see it less quickly. Malacia is inexperienced, is only his first year in the EPL and still has to get used to the level at times. Sevilla is just too good for that to make such mistakes, although that 1-2 was more luck than wisdom. That ball miraculously went in, normally that ball can never go in of course.

ya.ya.yo!

Harry Maguire has become more of a liability than asset to the team and for this reason I am convinced that the club will be left with no other option than to sell him at the end of the season. This season alone Maguire caused the team to conceive more goals than he has helped the team and Erik Ten Hag will be getting fed up already.

Rashford and Varane should return soon, while Martinez has already been declared out for the remainder of the season. Without Rashford, they played Sevilla, and from my view, their performance was excellent up until the coach's careless substitution in the final minutes.  They paid a heavy price for those substitution, and I have no doubt that they are already planning how to comfortably triumph over Sevilla in the return leg given that everyone sees that they are the superior team and should win this quarterfinal game. There current performance speaks well for them to win in the returning leg of the Europa League.

After falling behind in the first leg, Sporting made a number of changes which actually had a pretty good impact from the scheme they did, and of course this could also be used as a reference for Amorim to implement an offensive scheme from the start.
I think for this condition Juventus will also not play around and try something because of course they have to balance the pattern that Sporting is doing. As long as Juventus don't fall into the rhythm that Sport does then it will be very good for them but on the other hand 1 goal is of course still not safe for them.

If he was performing like the match against notthingham forest and none will be blaming him. The problem was when he was making blunder and this blunder is giving advantage to the opponent rather than manchester united itself. This makes so many people feel worried if Meguire will try to do the same thing again in the second leg. Ten hag has been facing a defensive crisis right now. It's quite so hard for manchester united to be able to win in the second leg against sevilla away. Meguire has been doing so many wrong things. Even though if he was only playing in a few games but he was making so many blunders for the club. That's why ten hag has planned to sell him in the summer. Meguire can at least be loaned into leicester city again. Leicester city sees him as a hero. There are no improvements happened with meguire.
His performance is so bad as always. That's very sad that ten hag can only rely on him at this moment due to the crisis that happened to its players.

Ten hag gives praise to him after meguire was not making a blunder against nottingham forest but who knows since the opponent that was already faced by MU was nottingham forest. The result may be different if meguire will be facing sevilla again.
He will able to help sevilla to create more goals when MU will be playing away. Meguire is such a clown in MU.

The second leg will take place at Sporting headquarters and this is an advantage for them, losing by one goal while playing at the Allianz Stadium is not so bad because the second leg will be played at home, besides that Juventus also played a little worse in Serie A against Sassuolo because they unable to maximize the match, although Allegri tried to rotate and replace players in preparation for the trip to Sporting.

In my opinion Sporting's opportunities are still quite open, if you can take advantage of the home conditions to put pressure on Juventus in that match. Sporting must be aware of Juventus' 1-goal advantage because if they score a quick goal in the second leg Sporting will have difficulty responding to two goals. So let's see how the strategies of the two coaches prepare for this match.

It is very likely that Manchester United's plan to win the Europa League this season will fail if they cannot perform well at home to Sevilla in the second leg. I have said that don't underestimate Sevilla even though they are team that is not doing well in La Liga, Sevilla have fantastic record in the competition. The second leg was tough for Manchester United because they lost several important players, this will definitely make Sevilla even more excited to win the match.

Ten Hag really knows that Sevilla is very dangerous team, but Ten Hag also has chance to win the second leg. So I hope the second leg should be more interesting than the first. Today both Sevilla and Manchester United won their respective league match, that's good before the second leg battle.

Leverkusen had an away match versus Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga today and they drew with them by 0-0. There was a big difference between the starting elevens of this match and the one versus Royale Union SG. They must have wanted to make some rotation to rest and prepare some players for the second leg in the Europa League. They aren't in a very advantageous situation there as well now.

Because the first leg ended by a draw unlike my expectation. I thought Leverkusen would defeat them home already. But on the other hand this makes me remind of another matchup versus Monaco. You know that Monaco were the winner as the away side but Leverkusen did the same in the rematch by a better result.

Thinking of this I will be waiting for Leverkusen to win in the second leg in this round and continue on their road here.

For the first leg, Ten Hag should have been able to take some lessons from this, such as when they had to create conditions where they had to pay attention to the chosen scheme because it made the defensive play in the second half prove to be a failure, on the other hand substitutions must also be paid more attention because it is for this first leg was really very fatal but when you look at the chance now actually United still can it's just that the conditions are difficult especially with the condition of Sevilla who know some of Manchester United's weak points when they lose some of their players now, and Sevilla's focus is only on the Europa League at this time of course they will work even harder for the second leg later.

After watching Manchester United's performance in the first leg, I can no longer call them favorites. Manchester United team is quite strong compared to the Sevilla team but they do not play well. United has failed to win at home. Moreover, there is no way to say that Manchester United's performance was very good. Their performance was average. They failed to perform very well in home matches. There is no guarantee that we will get a better performance than Manchester United in the away match. And the way Sevilla performed in the first leg, I think Sevilla will win the second leg.

I agree with you because in my opinion Sporting did play better than Juventus. Sporting still has the chance to qualify for the next round if they beat Juventus in the second leg. Juventus' 1 goal advantage is not safe at all, so Sporting must perform better in the second leg which is possible because they are playing at home.

I'm also not going to ignored Sevilla's chance aftrer draw with Manchester United in a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford. Sevilla are my favorites in the Europa League this season regardless of their form in La Liga, but I believe both teams have a 50:50 chance of qualifying. Sevilla have to prove to Manchester United that they are the best team in the Europa League, so they have to do very well in the second leg at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.

I watched the match and I can say Sporting dominated in that game. They were kind of unlucky that they couldn't get a goal. I won't say Juventus won by luck although their goal was kind of a lucky goal but they were good defensively.
Id still put my money on Sporting to win the second leg and qualify for the semi finals, except Juventus plays better than they did in the first leg. Another thing is, if Sporting wants to qualify then they shouldn't be throwing away all the chances they get. They should make use of all the chances they get or else they might be punished like they were in the first leg.

Manchester United's problems aside from the away match for leg 2, they are also currently still a little vulnerable because many of their players are still unable to play due to injuries.
Bruno is no longer able to play due to card accumulation, while Rashford, Martinez and Varane are also doubtful now due to problems with his legs. This is really quite tough for Manchester United even though they are quite the favorites in this quarter final but with the current conditions this could be a reversal of fortunes for them and Sevilla.

If you watch the replay and look at the match statistics, you can see that Sporting dominated this match, I think Juventus won through luck, for I don't know what else to call it. The next game will be even tougher for them, not at home, as you have already pointed out, so it will be a serious spectacle

In any case, Juventus was much better than Sporting in that match. 1-0 is a poor reflection of the game, in which Juventus should have scored more goals. But in principle, Juventus should not get into trouble in Portugal, right? Sporting is the 3rd team in Portugal after Benfica and Porto, and Juventus is normally the best team in Italy. But on a Portuguese evening it can sometimes start cooking in the stadium. Not comparable to Spain, but Sporting still has a lot of support from the home crowd.

Juventus is also far from certain of a place in the semi-finals. They're not that good at it. They did win their game, but that was absolutely not convincing and Spprtig threw arsenal out in the previous game, so they really have a team that can ball. In the game of Juventus against Sporting we also had a 1-0 score for a very long time until the 73rd minute. So they were lucky that it ended that way. Juventus really have to do their best to ensure that they are not eliminated next Thursday. AS Roma has a similar job, have lost out and have to clear a backlog in Roma.

ya.ya.yo!

He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. That can happen. Typical if it is for him, yes. But Malacia's mistake was a real mistake. The goal afterwards through his foot was unlucky, but he should never have let that ball go. That was an error of judgment and that costs the 3 points afterwards. 9 times out of 10 there is no goal. After that, United should have played it out professionally. You could also place the responsibility with Ten hag there, I think.

I wouldn't say Magurie was completely the fault in the match against Sevilla, Malacia wasn't good as well. Every decline in any arm of a team always affects whole performances. I will say that's what the match owes and nothing could change it. Eric Ten Hag himself was too confident at recording two goals. This are little mistakes some coaches wouldn't allow. A coach like Guardiola believes not in the goal, he is bent at seeing the results and with this he doesn't stop scoring until the last second of the match. I believe they all learnt from the mistakes in the first leg, let's see what the second leg will bring.

Harry Maguire often has a bad impact on Manchester United's final results, at least that's one of the reasons why Harry Maguire is hated. It is very wrong if Harry Maguire is hated but there is no right reason, because if Harry Maguire doesn't make mistakes then surely Harry Maguire will not be hated.

So yes, I think Manchester United really don't need to play Harry Maguire and/or extend his contract again, because it looks like Harry Maguire really isn't suitable to play at Manchester United. Maybe Erik ten Hag meant to play Harry Maguire so that Manchester United's defense in the second half would remain strong, but what happened was a blunder which would be a regret.

If we refer to the available odds, for now in the second leg match Sevilla is the favourite. very reasonable, considering that Sevilla is playing at its own headquarters. that means, they will play all out to win the match against Manchester United. plus, it doesn't look like Manchester United will come with a complete squad. I mean, several United players are certainly absent because of injuries. be it Rashford, Martinez, Varane. As for Luke Shaw, he is expected to be able to play in the second leg. for Garnacho, he will certainly be absent again, because Garnaco's injury is expected to require a longer recovery. that means, Manchester United will not play with the main full starter.

Well, seeing the current situation, it would be very natural for Sevilla to be more favourites, moreover they are playing as the home team. even so, it was not an easy matter for Sevilla to overthrow The Red Devils. because as we know, their performance is really doubtful.
Anyway, I'm still optimistic that United can overcome Sevilla in the match. at least, Ten Hag will find the right formula for his team when facing the second leg later.  well, let's just wait.
