Match Thread Manchester United 0-1 Everton Monday 24th 8pm

I really hope that this is a watershed moment for the squad (and for Moyes). Winning at OT under seemingly impossible circumstances should now give us the confidence to go into matches, any matches, thinking that we can win.

The joy of living near Manchester knows no bounds on nights like this.

Alas, not often enough, but boy will I enjoy this next few days.

Just in from work and checked the result. Very surprised but delighted to have got the win. The table looks really good tonight with us a place above the RS. This season there is so little between a lot of teams, its a perfect chance for a good league finishing place if we can keep it together and take advantage of other teams bad form.

….would you believe it. I’m thinking get to 70mins and maybe get a draw, then you start to believe the unbelievable. I’m a glass half empty bloke, always have been but when it got to 87 I was so desperate for them to see that out and get what they fully deserved.

They were wonderful to a man, hard to single anybody out. KDH composure personified, all over the pitch and a terrific goal, Garner so believes in his own ability to keep possession, Pickford with a Southall-like save, Tarkowski a fortress, Barry very decent job in protecting the ball but I’m going for Keane.

It was such a test of his mentality after the sending off incident, the key thing we’ve all criticised him for. He not only kept it his concentration, he was very composed and defended for the cause.

Great post Mr Eggs

For all it was a heroic shift defensively, longer term I was more encouraged by the first half, the way we pressed and how we passed the ball about even with 10 men.

It shows we can do it, which makes it all the more infuriating we don't do it a lot of the time.

Hopefully we can push on after this result, although the midfield looks a bit threadbare. Definitely need at least a couple of loans in January.

Branthwaite will have to earn his spot back in this team. What a defensive performance. I was so angry in the first half that I couldn't even celebrate the goal, but man this is the highlight of the season so far.

Looks it.

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

We wore all blue tonight (shorts and socks too). I love how that looks. Anyone remember the last time we went with that kit selection?
