Lukaku struggling. In a major goal drought. Fans and press starting to get on his back.

Pile your cash on him to score tomorrow. Like printing money mate.

A bank holiday for us in ROI so I look forward to a celebratory hangover on Monday with only gardening work to do

I'd get that out of the way today if I was you just in case we win haha.

Thanks. Been up since 7 and lots done already. But it is a big garden so there will always be things to do. Best way of clearing the head is to get out in the air and get stuck in....so I look forward to doing that on Monday.

Don't think we're quite good enough to beat these there yet

It feels a bit like the 2013/14 game, except we ain't as good as we were then and they're nowhere near as bad

Think this one will be a bit like the Arsenal game

 

[Lob]

Bit more optimistic than i would have been a few weeks ago but its still going to be tough. Can be done though if we put a decent full 90 minutes effort in and we tend to play better away currently.

Lets do them blues.

There's a lot of positivity and hope in this thread, which usually means one thing.

If we turn up and play we can sneak this one. 1-0 to us .. as for Lukaku he should be dropped for being gash !

You’ve done it now.

Gets coat and heads to bookies to stick a score on a Lukaku hat - trick.

Play the same as we did at Arsenal, except take our chances = 3 points.

Mourinho said that United and Everton ambitions in the League are almost the samelollollol

Mourinho is finished at this level...

""About the game, the manager does not expect facilities." It will be difficult, they made an incredible investment. They have very good players, who went to Barcelona. This is the level that Everton wants to achieve. Their ambitions are very similar to ours. "

Trying to deflect blame from himself and damped expectations, Surprised he didn’t say they are taking a knife to a gun fight.

I will bring the wife shopping in town while I go into the Mercantile to watch the match with other blues and drink cheap pints

Nailed on for Rom to come back into form

Would love to see us go and have a go and try to get 3 points - Man Utd don't seem to be as much of a threat counter attacking than Arsenal/RS/City so hopefully our gaps aren't exploited much

Their most recent success away at a “big six” club was against United in December 2013 – the club’s only victory at Old Trafford in the last 26 years – while Everton have not won at Manchester City for eight years, Tottenham for 10 years, Liverpool for 19, Arsenal for 22 and Chelsea for 24. Silva stared long and hard at a list of those results that was presented to him on Friday, and asked if he could keep it afterwards, before insisting a combination of quality and character was required to improve Everton’s record from Sunday onwards.



It’s mad that he was unaware but I like the fact he kept the sheet to use as a motivational tool.

Those stats grate on me.

We have been poor on the whole but.

McFadden scored an injury time winner, Terry scored an injury time equaliser after 7 mins. James was onside, John 3 yards off. That is 2 wins.

Scored through Pienaar at Emirates in the last minute, game continues until deflected equaliser off Lucas Neill.

Distin had perfectly good goal chalked off at the pit for a 1-0.

Referees and officials have cost us 4 or 5 victories.

This team / squad is improving all the time. Tomorrow is a chance to announce ourselves amongst the 'big 6'.

It will happen. We as fans have to show faith too.

I just heard Craig Burley say - he's a pundit on ESPN - that, although he hadn't given it a lot of thought, Richarlison
was the only Everton player who'd get into MU's team. What do you think?
