Match Thread Everton 0-1 Manchester United - Monday 23rd February 20:00

[Charles Hawtrey]

A Draw would move us up a place in the table, a win would move us up a place in the table. My heart says 3-0 win and my head says 1-2 loss. I have become dithering davey!

I think Sunderland will leapfrog us tomorrow and we'll be down to 10th after our match even with a draw.

Next few games we have to avoid dropping out of the top half if we're to retain a hope of Europe with a good end to the season.

 

[Swartzy]

Brentford and Newcastle lost
Bournemouth drew
Chelsea(a bit out of reach maybe) drew
Really need to capitalise this time!

Feels like it's groundhog day reading these posts now, it's like every week this season has been a chance to capitalise..

 

[Blue Roo]

I reckon we win this one.
(not cause O'Brien is out though)

 

[Blue Neon]

Cheeky 1-0 win courtesy of a T Barry glancing header from a James Garner cross, after Gana dispossessed Bruno.

Barry glancing header?

Big games for ireland coming up soon enough,so no wonder he is ready and sound. Will probably get minutes with us so that he is ready to start for ireland

That's the spirit! Get Seamus in and strive for a Euro place!

Yea we seem to collapse at the moment of breaking that self imposed ceiling.
Might happen a lot more times before we shake it. Hopefully not though. Utd would be a nice scalp right now

Not done the double over Manure since El Brogues managed it in 2013/14, when Moist was there. It would be a pleasant surprise if we did it again on Monday. Personally, I'm fearing the worst, but will reserve judgement until I see the teamsheet.

Barry glancing header?

Probably while trying to control a 5 yard pass to his feet

Yeah not ideal but at least there's less of us nosing in at the relegation thread and discussing our involvement in that.
It's frustrating bubbling around European qualification and that should be our goal being this close.

Back on it. Back at The Hill Dicky. Feels like yonks since that dire result v Bournemouth. Moyes needs to find a solution at home and I hope that's playing a right back...at well right back. Gone for a flat three in midfield with Jimmy, Dewy and Army rotating and being busy in that midfield. Ndiaye on the right and George given another go.

Looks strong that, wish we had Grealish back though.

I’m expecting a draw, followed by pages and pages of moaning about Moyes (despite the best league form in years).

 

[Toffeelover]

How about giving our U18 goal scoring machine some game time ?

Graham isn't it.

 

[Zatara]

If we win then we go joint 7th and 5pts off Chelsea and United.

So expect Moyes will go ultra defensive and play for the draw.

Or because of the shockingly poor home form for the last 6 months that shows no sign of getting any better.
