Match Thread Everton v Man Utd - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[zebedee]

Game is absolutely pub league stuff, we've dropped deep, forcing them to play through us.

Feels like we've got at least one fatal mistake in us, but we're ahead and the crowd is getting into it.

DCL isn't interested, hardly chasing anything.

Ta mate literally standing on one leg with the phone in the air trying to get signal. Look like a tourist in London with a selfie stick ?.. same old service then haven't learnt from Wednesday. Pray the don't turn up in the 2nd half then

 

[ForeverEverton]

We have been caught out a couple of times by Keane dropping the ball in to midfield and not finding our players, if we get undone that will be where it comes from or a set piece.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

we need another 48 goals

and we will be calm

Speak for yourself Matty, I'm not settling down 'til we're fifty clear with less than five to play

 

[banno]

Some players playing well. Mykolenlo, Delph, Iwobi and Allan looking useful. Still carrying a lot but we have to hold on here but still look for a second goal. I would honestly replace DCL as he is again offering nothing and not winning any ariel duals (not many). Looks a shadow of his robust way of the other seasons

 

[HokieToffee]

Good half by everyone, except DCL, genuinely.

Can find a positive or good play from everyone except him.

For someone who boasted that he's improved his physical and mental game recently - both seem to be non existent and he seems to be proving the criticism wrong by being ultra crap. Nice one Dominic.

Keane had a rough first 30 mins but otherwise agreed

 

[Paul Rideout]

Having delph on demonstrates the importance of employing an actual defensive Midfielder on the pitch

you know what... I hate delph, will be glad to see the back of him at the end of the season...

but him and Allan are going to be essential in keeping us up I think.

 

[Ufotone]

Keep up the good work lads!

Come on DCL, earn your £££

 

[Bob Latchford]

Never thought I'd see DCL off and Rondon on as a positive change, but Frank should make that change at half time, DCL just isn't occupying the United defence.

Do you think his head has been turned? He doesn’t strike me as the sort.

 

[Chegsy]

Its a good job man u r shabite

They are. Don’t do anything stupid and I’m confident we can take the 3 points.

Delph has looked decent but we have needed that sort of player in front of the back 4 all season.

Slagged Myko off mid week but he’s been better today.

 

[Peter The Dog]

feeling confident. just can't see manu scoring. they have been woeful. can't remember ronaldo having a touch. sancho knocks our transfer spending into a cocked hat.

 

[magicjuan]

Stressed.

This is actually me watching Everton these days

 

[carolinablue232]

Frank’s halftime speech…

“Wtf was that Dominic? You have to at least run a little bit.”

 

[Sassy Colombian]

We are leading and that makes me very happy. I thought our defense played well and Pickford has too. Now we just need to score a second goal as soon as we begin the second half. Easy as pie ?

 

[maccavennie]

Everyone working hard. Keane looked a nervous wreck and DCL has once again been really really poor.

Halfway there, need to keep it going

COYB!!!

 

[overkill]

Think Allan is playing well because Delph is there to sit, and Delph is playing alright, not great but enough for Allan to have the confidence to hunt for the ball.
