Too slow for LvG - let's hope the Manchester derby is played at a higher pace this weekend.

Be there or be (Albert) Square. 

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal: "I knew it would be a very difficult game. They had the present from Anthony Martial and then it is difficult when you are behind.

"We could not play at a high tempo, it was too slow in the first half. We had to improve at switching from side to side and we did that. We coudl have won but a draw was deserved."

Unai Emery, Sevilla coach: "We have to keep on brushing up aspects of our game, and we have to remember the things we did well. But this was a great opportunity. We tried to do a good job here and we were capable of doing it, but we lacked that little bit extra."

Liverpool are in action on Thursday, and Jurgen Klopp has compared the treatment of some young players to that of "horses" after midfielder Jordan Rossiter was injured on international duty.

The 18-year-old is injured after playing three European Championship under-19 qualifying games in six days.

He is out until mid-November and Klopp has demanded an explanation.

"These young players are our future," said the German. "If we handle them like horses, we get horses."

Rossiter, who made his Premier League debut as a substitute at Arsenal this season and has played in each of the side's Europa League games so far this season, has a hamstring injury.

He was one of three players in the England side to play the full 90 minutes against Macedonia on 8 October, Finland on 10 October and Italy on 13 October.

Aidy Boothroyd's England side won the first two games and drew with Italy to come top of the first group stage of qualification.

Klopp said he had "never heard of a player of this age" playing so many games in so few days.

"Rossiter is a special story," said Klopp. "I don't know who I have to talk to about this but I will find a way to talk with somebody about this because it is not OK."

Daley Blind had more touches (47-40) and played more passes (36-27) than Wayne Rooney. Blind came on in the 63rd minute.

Alex Perry: English teams deserve praise this week. Winning home games and not losing away is the recipe for success in Europe.  

Colin Cox: I think Kevin de Bruyne has to be the world's most expensive bargain!

New Leeds boss Steve Evans, speaking to BBC Radio 5 live:"I told the players tongue in cheek I had a contract until Friday and said they would leave before then if they did not give me passion. 

"This is a proud football club and with the tradition it has, the minimum the fans will want to see is passion.

"The away end tonight had probably 5,000 Leeds fans in full voice and they were in full voice because they were probably proud of the team."

Send it in Mike, we can go for a nice lunch...

Steve Evans kicked off his Leeds reign with a 1-1 draw at Fulham, Chris Wood's second-half penalty earning a point for the West Yorkshire side.

Brentford moved four points clear of the relegation zone with an impressive 2-0 win at Wolves, while Blackburn and Derby drew 0-0.

In League Two, Exeter edged Cambridge United 1-0.

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini: "It was a very close game the two teams played very well and made no mistakes. We had character to the end and got the goal.

"We needed to make some changes, we were not arriving in the box and we had no strikers on the bench but it was the way to free Yaya Toure."

Manchester City forward Kevin de Bruyne: "Even though we did not have our best game we tried to look for the victory and in the end we could score. We have a team to attack and we will try to get the three points in Sevilla too."

Goalkeeper Joe Hart: "Sevilla have earned the right to be in this competition and they made it difficult for us. They would have been happy with a draw but Kevin has found a fine finish to win us the game. We are working hard as a team - we are attacking so we know we will leave it short at the back at times."

Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin: “Anthony Martial didn’t let his head go down, which can happen after the penalty and he scored a great goal. Then we pushed on and gave everything and couldn’t get the second goal which was a shame.”

What a huge goal that was from Kevin de Bruyne. Manchester City's deficiencies were obvious for all to see tonight - down the flanks at the back - but up front they have plenty of ammunition still.

No Aguero? No Silva? No problem after all...

"This is a brilliant result against a really good side. Manchester City got very, very lucky until about 60 minutes but after that I could see tiredness coming for Sevilla. Manuel Pellegrini made some changes, and they were very intelligent changes. They worked, Manchester City won and they are 100% in the driving seat for getting through now."

Robin Smit: I wish people would just be honest, Arsenal were lucky last night as well as Man City tonight..  

Richard: Settling for a draw with 25 minutes to go shows an embarrassing lack of ambition from #MUFC, external. That's not how you win trophies.

Juventus are top of the group but they could only draw with Borussia Monchengladbach. The Old Lady have seven points, City now have six after that late strike and Sevilla are on three.

Suddenly all looks well for Manuel Pellegrini's side.
