Match Thread Manchester United v Everton - Preview, Report and MotM Poll

[bluelife]

Lose and he is SACKED. Win and he isn't (yet... until we fail to beat S'ton). Hence the lack of youth... even though they'd outperform the 'first 11'!

Thought that was the first team for a second then, and was pleasantly surprised.

9500 travelling blues. Before payday after Christmas for many.

As Howard famously said to the team at an FAC away against Stoke, "Win it for them."

 

[Khalekan]

No ET tonight.

Replay if it finishes a draw.

Straight up?

That changes things a bit.

Get a draw and bring them back here for a replay.

I’d prefer to win tonight and not have an extra game but that’s me just being picky lol

3-0 win tonight, Andy King with two.

And Ronnie Goodlass ripping them a new one on the left wing

I don’t reckon they’ll sack him if we lose this cup game.

I reckon if we lose our next league game it’ll happen.

So much for playing the youth...the ageing, slow, unskilled players it is.

Not even going to watch it

If you told me we’d go out now but would definitely stay up I’d bite your arm off

I would be absolutely amazed if he is able to have us out of both cups, in the bottom 3, and have lower PPG than Benitez and still keep his job. But then again, it's Everton, so I wouldn't be.

Haha when you put it like that, I’m now looking at it differently.

My flawed thinking was as much as we want to win the cup, we won’t as we can’t even win a league game, and that points in the league are more important, so tonight it’s foregone and a bit pointless.

Ok , I'll tone down on the Lampard out mantra tonight. Let's see how this match goes. A decent cup run will be great. Winning this thing will be great. But who am I kidding? That won't happen. I'm just really expecting more of the same old dross tonight. Let's see.
Anyhow , I don't expect us to play like Real Madrid anytime soon. I don't expect us to play like Man City or this current Arsenal team. I'd settle if we could just manage to play like Brentford , Brighton or even Fulham. Maybe even after the Southampton game , id be wishing that we could play like Wolves. As the old saying goes , I just wish we could see something decent on the pitch , because , right now , I don't see [Poor language removed].
Anyhow , a win tonight would be great. Then Lampard can meddle and balderdash everything up for next week. Up The Toffees.
Altogether now........Up the Toffees.
