CosbehFox Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 Basically we are gonna have to play as well as we have for a year in the first 45 minutes. They are liable to leaving the defence exposed. There were a few moments yesterday where they literally had one defender and 40 yards of space behind him. So if you can frustrate them and try to make them chase it a bit, they will be open to the counter. As for N'Zonzi, I personally think he looks much better player as a result that no one in spain can match him physically. If he came back to England, he'd have some off days again.

They'll underestimate us and hopefully be massively complacent. Their league campaign could be a greater distraction as they're in contention to actually win it. We've already been there and done that here. The question is can we be good enough to get a result against a complacent Sevilla or will they still be way too good for us even in second gear. (Please be complacent and lacklustre against the Foxes) Allez les bleus! Expecting Sevilla to be complacent is one of the biggest mistake one could ever make. Having a real chance to go to the quarter finals for the first time since 58 and let it go? No way.
tylesta Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 Had a dream we was 3.1 up and lost 4.3 to torino haha
Chico1958 Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 So Claudio and the boys have to earn their money. Got my Holiday in Costa Del Sol so if I can't get to Seville I'll be in a Bar not far away Can't wait, whatever happens Caption says it all
lgfualol Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 Would be typical of this season if we won this and then we score 5 own goals with Morgan's arse in the next match
Chico1958 Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 Considering how downbeat everybody seems The bookies aren't risking it. you can't get great odds on Leicester to win ? But, hey what do bookies know
Guest Col city fan Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 Watched them beat Real last night and watched us lose to Chelsea on Sat. Good God....

Callabinho Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 This will be the "thanks for taking part game" they are hardened veterans in the European game, it will be a very easy two legs for them.

RowlattsFox Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 We are going to get beat, comfortably so the sooner people accept this the more you can enjoy the trip and the occassion. I'm almost glad I won't get a match ticket, as the build up will probably be the best bit about the day. Our only hope is we catch them on the break, but that will mean us finding some sort of creativity from somewhere. We will almost certainly get someone sent off in the away leg too.
m4DD0gg Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 I have a feeling we can sneak a 0-0 at there place and a 1-0 at our place.
foxy boxing Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 Sevilla are a fantastic team with some great players like Nzonzi who we wanted, they've just smashed Real Madrids unbeaten run. does anyone realistically give us a chance. we should just enjoy the two legs and use it to get experience. yes we should do our best and try to win but make no mistake Sevilla are the much better team and we just need to look at not being totally destroyed and humiliated
Callabinho Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 They're all out attack, last season I would have said bring it on, but unfortunately our defence is to put it simply....shit. They will tear us to pieces like wet tissue paper.
Guest Lako42 Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 Anyone hoping for lady complacency to help us out is mistaken. These don't do complacent in knockout European football.
MattCan Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 I think their major weakness is their defense. Their central defenders are slow as well. Real Madrid front two didn't show pace and the 3-5-2 system that Zidane played with backfired. Vardy's pace comes to mind. I think we stand a chance if we can frustrate them during the first 20 mins.

We didn't because we are awful this season and Sevilla are 1 point off the top in La Liga. We are massive underdogs for the tie and suggesting we would have given them more of a game if we had been closer in the league is stating the obvious.

No point having Vardy's pace if he has no service. He can run round their defence all night but without anything coming from midfield, he won't have the ball. The only good thing is that we still have 5 weeks to sort ourselves out a bit. Play some positive football, be more confident in possession, become the side who was lethal on counter attacks. We have been toothless this season (except the Man City game). I don't mind losing, what I do mind is knowing that we didn't give everything and thinking about what could have been.

Col was comparing the intensity of the two performances i was speaking about the mental approach to the game we didn't look like we were overly bothered to be losing and trying like crazy to avoid going two down. Sevilla were bound to be at it last night given their situation. Thats all
DaveSFC Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 I slept so well last night.. you can't imagine how fulfilling it is to beat Madrid and Barcelona, and how frustrating it is to play against them.. Answering some of your questions, I think we will not be complacent at all, Sevilla fans in general are weary of the tie against you, we remember how Fenerbace and CSKA Moskow beat us at this same stage some years ago albeit being "easy" opponents compared to other teams. Yes a lot of Sevilla fans were happy to draw you but only because we avoided teams that seemed stronger on paper. I followed your entire PL run last season and personally I would have preferred Monaco or Napoli!
