Lopetegui has us on a rollercoaster. One weekend we are praising him, the next we are shitting on him. So pissed. This should have been a win.
I never expected us to win this. We have been useless all champions league and I didn’t expect any different. We just out of our depth sadly in this competition and against these faster paced teams. The injuries to key players has not helped either.

This is why I can’t decide my opinion on him. I guess I’m still in support but this loss has strained my view on him. He messed up with the decision to start Munir, and has made 0 tactical changes when we need a goal. Bringing in Rekik when we need two?

That´s what you get when pure results are the only thing speaking for him.

Why the fuck is Munir still in this game?
Losing out this probably puts a huge financial burden on the team. We might not see Jules after January.

There is a real problem with the style, we can continue forgiving while we get results but there comes a time when we stop forgiving.

I might be in the minority but I’m not that disappointed. I just think we haven’t been good enough and we lack the quality up front in this competition. People need to remember the lack of quality we have and the number of injuries we dealing with. This doesn’t change my view on lopetegui at all.
My main focus for lope is on the league and copa del Rey where we have better chances and hopefully do better. I can take or leave the europa league but we can see how it goes.

Seeing those Super teams OSC Lille and RB Salzburg pass us. Oh well…
Shameful. A fake smile for now saying Europa League here we come.

Not good enough all group stage. I hope the team learns from this, and puts it into practice in the UEL. Congrats to FC Salzburg.
Onto San Mamés. One of the 5 Liga grounds we struggle at. Will the players still have it in them?
Vamos mi Sevilla!

Is it style or is it just the fact these players aren’t as good as we think they are? I feel in the days juande Ramos, manolo Jimenez, sampaoli and Emery we had probably more quality in attacking positions. We better in terms of defensive qualities and being well organised but in an attacking sense I feel these players aren’t as good compared to other squads.

We just lost to a team of kids. A team that’s market value is a quarter of ours and we had 1 shot on target knowing we had to win.

We got what we deserved I’m afraid. Simply not good enough tonight and we haven’t been all group stage. Salzburg were just better than us.
For the life of me I don’t know how Munir missed that chance and from then on, Salzburg score and you knew it was all over. We didn’t even create a single chance after that.
We were completely toothless. I’m afraid the style of football under Lope isn’t good enough. We’re boring to watch and I don’t ever think we’re going to score when I watch us. We really should be better than this and past Sevilla sides under different managers wouldn’t have struggled in this group. There is nothing upfront, we have no quality. Past Sevilla sides have had Ben Yedder, Gameiro, Bacca, Fabiano and Kanoute. They were exciting to watch and had attacking quality, none of this can be said now.
Things have got to change and fast. I’m losing faith in Lope’s ability to take us forward. I really don’t think he’s the man to take us to the next level and be a serious team I’m afraid.

Even still I just not surprised. It’s been the same story all champions league so we just simply haven’t had enough when it mattered,
All credit to Fernando for being a beast for us the last two seasons, but he’s fading. I barely see him this season although he plays 90 minutes almost always. His old legs gotta be replaced. Rakitic is also of little value when he’s playing.
We may say we need better attackers, but you see this game we barely reach these attackers because our midfield is slow, inaccurate or invisable. Buy good midfielders. Try buying Renato Sanches, that guy ran a marathon within 90 minutes against us and was dangerous aswell. Monchi, give us a new midfield please, I don’t care about changing up attackers anymore, this midfield needs work.
Lope can only work with what he’s got. Our side has limited options, injuries, small budget and we lack pace. I don’t think we can be to surprised with this. Lope is fine for me as he’s doing well in the league and that’s enough. We had no chance to go far in champions league anyway so either way it just highlights our limitations further.
We need a few more additions to really have a chance to help us through the rest of this season and beyond. Monchi and Castro hopefully will address this.
I take what you’re saying regarding injuries and a small budget and lack of options. We do need to strengthen in a few areas in January, particularly going forward.
However it’s the playing style which really gets to me. We are boring to watch. It’s actually painful at times as we simply don’t look like scoring. Where was the urgency when we were 1-0 down tonight?
Results wise, yes he’s doing okay in the league but we’re out of the CL after probably being in the easiest group on paper. CL should be important and getting knocked out so early isn’t good enough if we’re a serious club. I think Lope’s position should be scrutinised for that alone.
Honestly it was better than done this under Emery and Sampaoli. Far better.

I didn’t realise that the europa league final was in Sevilla. I sort of have a feeling the club aren’t to disappointed to drop into their favourite competition because of that incentive too. Not saying they set up to go in but it feels they will be quite content and they can focus on that.
