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

Thought their keeper was exceptional today. Got to everything and when he saved he held onto it brilliantly

True but the corners were so bloody predictable

 

[Blue Roo]

Shambolic from Moyes.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

George did well, but the attack is awful.

 

[jazzy]

All on Moyes again. Our best centre back playing at left back, our best central midfielder playing at right back. A promising central midfielder playing on the left wing.
Their goal then comes from our slow centre back pairing not being able to deal with a quick counter attack, with our quickest centre back playing out of position.
I’m done with him, he’ll blame the referee, or blame bad luck, or misfortune- but will take no responsibility for his dour tactics and selections.

Completely agree

I really don’t like Ndiaye on the right, he switched left and come alive then moved back right and did nothing. Armstrong should be in the middle not on the left. He’s got to play Dibling on the right and play him into form. Garner at right back blew my mind, anything to squeeze Keane in it seems. Really frustrated with Moyes atm

 

[Smurph]

I’ve been a fan since Moyes came back in. Getting rid of him would be dumb in a league that is marginal all the way to the relegation zone.

But playing our best midfielder at right back and best defender at left back is ridiculous. Armstrong did pretty well but should have been moved central for KDH who was having a mare and an actual winger played on the left.

I have no idea how Moyes has never played Keano up front.

 

[Blue Roo]

What was Martinez doing in the stands?

 

[blueblood]

Why did he wait until we conceded to play 2 wingers? He’s so preoccupied with setting us up to defend he has no consideration to how we might score.

 

[bobbylatch]

No chance of pushing for a Euro place with them 2 clowns up front. Both totally inept and will / have cost us heavily. Think we'll see more and more empty seats as season moves on. We totally fluffed that summer transfer window.

This team is nowhere near ready for Europe.
If we managed to fluke it, we would have a Notts Forest relegation battle on our hands. Seriously lacking quality in the final third.

Pickford

Patterson O’Brien Branthwaite Aznou
N’Diaye Rohl Dewsbury Hall Garner George
Barry or Beto

Next game?why not?
Bench include Graham and Clarke from the under 21s,nothing really to play for now so even Davey can surely shake those shackles off and try something different that may just excite this long suffering support.

And then left him on the right and played the right winger on the left wing. He’s clueless.

 

[Neiler]

Thought Man Utd were perfectly happy with what we were doing 2nd half, we never game close to scoring & opened up for them to break.

Its always as black and white as team with more of the ball are in control.

That’s exactly how they have played in every game under Carrick mate.

They are quite happy to absorb and counter.

The question asked of us is if we give you control of the game are you good enough to break us down - we’re not - that’s how you get a result against Everton we’re not good enough to break teams down.

Home particularly when we are given the innititive.

 

[Cels]

I never knew Albert Einstein was an Evertonian

[Pappas_23]

The way they were setup, they could have played 10 times and not scored. CBs as full backs. 2 dms that are horrific passers. An 18 yr old CM isolated out on the wing. The manager is a dinosaur

 

[MACCA75]

Can’t wait to see O’Brien back stinking the place out again next week.
