I think we can, in theory. But there's just something about Sevilla. They didn't deserve one goal the other night but we somehow scored two for them. We absolutely battered them in the past and went out too. So I have a feeling that no matter what we do, we'll struggle to get over the line. Hope I'm wrong
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The same happened when we played them in the Europa final several years ago. We should have been five up at half time then we made a couple of defensive errors and it was game over.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I remember that game well actually. I was out at Laverys watching it with my Liverpool supporting mate after work. I had Liverpool to win 3-1, Sturridge first scorer on as cheeky flutter. I got the score and first scorer correct but the result was the wrong way around
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Last time I watched a game in Lavery's was the Gerrard FA Cup final against West Ham. I think 2006. That's was before the extensions. I went to the bar raging to get some drinks and turned around to the ball just dropping to Gerrard. Unbelievable.
Of course you can. The injuries don’t help but aside from their insane pedigree in that competition the Sevilla side is nothing special.
Your players need to play their team, not their EL history
I say we beat them. Needed 2 OGs last week. Won't get those again.
Well they’ve just won 2-0 at Valencia with half the number of shots and got to play against 10 men again for the last few minutes of the game.
I’ve not watched it, just seen the stats on LiveScore!
Another small bit of luck for them? Really hope we stuff the cants
Sevilla comfortably beating relegation-threatened Valencia away from home.
I think Thursday's game is a tough game. If you defend well you should be able to hit them on the break with Anthony, Cassemiro and Eriksen.
If they defend well and you dont score it will be a tough evening as their adrenaline and europa pedigree will kick in.
Brighton is hard to predict. Think they will rag doll you but you will win.
If I had to put my head on the chopping block, you win both but stupid mistakes from Harry and the boys and your season may just end
Much as a I recognise that MCFC's current squad are worthy enough to match United's unique, unmatched and glorious achievements of the 1999 season, I'd really rather they didn't.
And the best way for that to NOT happen is probably for them to miss out on one of the cups - so I'm hoping it's the FA cup they miss out on.
The league might be a bit tricky for them (although they are the best team in it) I just cannot bring myself to actually want AFC to win even if it stopped "the treble". It is a dilemma but one I have reconciled myself to accepting.
All-in-all, even if they do "do the treble", then it least United's claim to be the FIRST to achieve it will remain just as true, regardless.
