Haha, it's only been 5 years!
Football is rarely as cut and dry as this... Seville, and notably Banega, got a handle on the game after about 10 mins and started to push us back.

I have to disagree, I watched this unfold carefully and in fact your comment somewhat sums it up, we actually allowed Banega back in to the game because we were too deep to pressure him...If you can, watch that period of the game again and you'll see what caused what. To be fair to Solskjaer he recognised it himself.
Maguire and AWB were never cut out for playing a high line. They were desperation buys which would cause problems in the long run over style of play.

To use last night as example for everything isn't ideal.
Martial blew the chances, and had the worst performance last night.
Some crucial errors in defence, yes. But that Suso goal isn't even a 100% sitter. Great finish. Williams will also learn from his mistakes.
Let's bounch back, and keep talk about Sancho

You can’t describe Maguire as a desperation buy.
The club was actively scouting him whilst he was still at Hull, he actually worked under Phelan, and Mourinho wanted him the summer before he signed.
We were following his progress closely for years.
Problems with the defence for me stems from the keeper. A good keeper commands his area, Tells the defences to push up or drop back ect. Ddg doesn’t say boo to a goose. For example if we had a keeper like peter schmeichel in net. Our defence would improve dramatically.

That might be so, but we didn't sign him until we really needed a leader at the back who's dominant in the air. He was the only option it would seem, and we had to part with £80m.
You didn’t see Casillas, Buffon, Lloris, Van de Sar, or Cech running around shouting at their defenders all game.
You don’t see Allison doing it, either.

I think we were looking for an aerially dominant leader who can pass the ball and bring it out.
Something of a rarity which we got.
People would be saying he was a great signing if we’d spent £50m and not £80m. Which isn’t the player or the manager’s fault.

Well that's it really. We found ourselves in a position where we needed such a player, and Leicester knew it. We couldn't wait another season, as we needed to strengthen the defence.
Van de sar commanded his area and would point and direct their position. He was also a superior keeper who would didnt hug the line
AWB needs a proper winger in front of him, and to build a rapport so they know when to overlap, and cross, or play it safe.
