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

[nsno_traditionally]

Two home games on the spin that have seen Moyes take so long to put his subs on that the opposition score before he does, dithery doofus

 

[Smurph]

A pretty average Utd and a ref that looked like he was on work experience.

But that was an absolutely agricultural approach. Corners an embarrassment, what were we thinking doing the same nonsense over and over again?

Poor.

 

[AndyP94]

We are poor in the final third because we have centre backs at full back, midfielders on the wing, and no capable strikers

2 out of 3 of those issues are entirely tactical from Moyes

No pace either.

Home form crap. Moyes does the same thing over and over again at home and the same result happens. Playing containment negativity football may well, and does at times, work away from home but the proof of the pudding at home, it doesn't.

But Moyes is a moron who has not yet noticed.

Every corner the same try something different

 

[Melcher]

Anyone blaming moyes needs to have a word. We were the better team today and against bournemouth. How we have zero points from those games is boggling. Its been a very frustrating season but we know where we need to improve next season. My biggest fear is that if we fail to find a goalscorer then it could happen again and that would be with any manager in charge.

Yeah but we absolutely robbed Brighton and Fulham so it's swings and roundabouts.

Moyes deserves credit when we play well (which is sadly rare) but blame when we don't because he's the one that picks the team and tactics. He's the one that told them to do the exact same thing on every corner which whilst quite amusing to watch, didn't produce a shot on goal.

He's the one that's picking Gana consistently when he's really dropped off a cliff, and he's the one picking a central midfielder out wide in a team that already has no attacking full backs.

He's been great for us over the years but it's time for him to move on in the summer.

I disagree whoever said Barry had a good game. Not 1 sniff of a chance. I get no service but still he don’t look like he is in the right areas

 

[blue to the bone]

Just seeing the replay. If Tarky is alive to it and track Seskó there's a change to challenge him at least. Moyes scrimping on subs again. Ndiaye was ineffective most of the game. Gana not been himself for a while. Don't know he hates freshening things up. Basic science. Players get tired. You get subs for a reason. Fuming at that game tbh. Neither team deserved to win. Awful advert for the league lol

Typical Everton. Tarkowski chasing Sesko for the goal was like me chasing Usain Bolt, he was running through porridge. We were the better team for long periods but offer nothing up front. Why didn't they try something different at corners. It's another heroic defeat against one of the so called big teams and that's how it will always be with Moyes in charge.

What was he doing 5 yards outside their 18 yard box.

 

[jamieni]

Too many square pegs in round holes. Lumping it up to Barry and hoping for the best. Sigh.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I dont want to watch that anti football at home

It's harsh because he's done an OK job but the last month since he got players fit has been pathetic. He has no clue how to play football at home.

 

[D. Amokachi]

The medieval melee at corners was the closest we got to entertainment tonight. Maybe we can rent the stadium out for battle re-enactments?

 

[Blackwell Livermore]

Moyes out. Leighton caretaker.

 

[bullybeef]

Season done in Feb.

Well done everyone

 

[Sharpies volley]

Daft team selection from Moyes. Branthwaite and Garner at full backs is just sabotage. They’re clearly uncomfortable there and immediately give the upper hand to the opposition

I thought they both played quite well particularly Garner.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Only bit of quality in the whole match won it,Good goal,surprised some folks were laying blame at players, it was a beautiful bit of football.
We will have to wait for the summer, invest in a striker because we could have been there all night and not scored.

Naah watch it back. Tarky is caught lacking there. Keep up with him he at least makes it hard for him.
