Match Thread Man Utd v Everton. Saturday Oct 2nd.12.30 pm

[Nymzee]

their defense after those injuries is utter dross. Townsend and Gray should feast on those fullbacks. Their midfield two of Mctominay and Fred is awful too. Only issue is they have the best attack in world football apart from PSG. and our defense is horrendous. expecting a goalfest.
3-2 Everton

Pardon? Rashford, Ronaldo & Greenwood lol

Every single time we play 3 CBs we're disjointed and crap

I agree and if you've read what I've said about it in the past it makes my post slightly absurd. However sometimes when the sum of the parts is lacking try something left field. We play 4-2-3-1 they probably beat us anyways. 3-4-3 is just like Holgate in midfield under Ferguson or when Lukaku played RW against Arsenal under Martinez a system played one time just as something different. I know Martinez was specifically target the weakest of Arsenal's LB that day.

Let's Ryan Johnson the [Poor language removed] out of these. Subverybthoer expectations. Play Begovic up top.

Do you reckon Ronaldo will take the penalty this week?

The inevitable penalty/VAR decision they get if needed

Really hoping this isn't a third loss in four for Rafalafel, that could really put the pressure on.

Nailled on, Ronaldo will take them until he misses one, then it will be back to Fernandes, that's the way it usually works

Err we won at the weekend

my mistake, have edited.
Though a win against the worst club in the league by far isn't much to crow about , as welcome as the three points are.

A very small percentage of lunatics screaming on GOT that we got beat at old Trafford with no strikers is not pressure.

We will most likely lose this game.

loving the pic of Reidy about to take Robson's leg off

Or if against all the odds we win, then it would be 5 wins in 8........

I'm an Everton geek. Before I got to 35 I could remember all kinds I love numbers and things like that but I also had good visual recall.

"Expected losses".

No loss should be expected, excused or acceptable. NSNO right?

Realistically, yes, we will lose. Odds I'm seeing are 1/2 Utd and us at 6/1.

Unless it's a truly horrendous turd, where we do not compete at all (thinking of Arsenal vs Chelsea earlier this season, was shocked at how poor they looked), I'm not going to get worked up about it.

Utd, FWIW, are a little shaky atm by their own terms, have some injuries, a little unsure how all their attacking pieces fit together, they're out of the cup, lost to Young Boys, and Villa beat them. Of course Villa trounced us. Just saying I can see us getting out of there with points if one of our boys pulls a golazo! out of his hat and JP stands on his head to keep them out.
