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

The amount of times our crosses hit the Man Utd defender was frustrating

Me too mate, we don’t have the players to break most PL teams down yet, without drawing them out.

We have some of the bigger teams coming to BMD which I assume may mean we may look to absorb and counter in the coming weeks.

Lets see...a counter of with Armstrong on the left and Barry doing, well whatever it is he does...not inspiring is it?

The fact we seem create next to nothing in a lot of games, does make me think

Are Ndiaye, KDH, Grealish (when he was playing ) any good

That front 3 and such a small goal return, & not many good chances created either

Maybe they arnt as good as we think, & when looking to find upgrades in the summer the squad, their positions shouldn't be guaranteed

Signing Grealish is important. He really lifts the standard.

Hammer Nail Head. Could not agree more, well said.

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.

JB never lets that goal happen. He's that good. As it is that positional move lost the game

Like if your gonna play a CB at LB, well Myko is closer to CB than LB, your always losing by pulling JB wide.

Like if your going to go full press with 5 CMs you'd want your quickest CB behind em.

As for trying to actually win, never seen a more defeatist lineup at home. And that's how it played out, despite the bewildered players efforts and a roaring HD. Boooo.

Standing at the Ok corral, aka Sandhills. We may have been beaten tonight, but for once there was fight in our players. Never sure how it comes across on TV, but they showed spirit. Yes plenty of individual mistakes, but as a team far better than recent matches. We sang, we shouted and may be even swore! Clapped those players off because they deserved it.

Cant fault the players or the crowd tonight.

 

[RomanReigns]

Because we WE WERE NOT SET UP to succeed.

How much did Man Utd spend on cunha, mbeumo and sesko the three players who combined for their goal?

We won’t be set up for success until we sign quality players who will take us to the next level

Can't build a team in one season. Credit to Moyes for taking away the fear of a relegation battle from the minute he stepped through the door. He has done a good job regardless

Can’t build a team when our best players are Played out of position, players who aren’t good enough keep getting picked and expensive new signings don’t get any game time. Winning 4 home games at this stage of the season is far from a good job.

If we dont just play " give it Jack and see if he can do something"

 

[Mashtray]

Lost all joy with these lot. Gimme a week

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Signing Grealish is important. He really lifts the standard.

Our football was turgid even when Grealish was in the team

 

[deipnosophist]

predicted a 0-2 loss so not particularly dispirited...we're a mid-table team performing to expectation.
It's a lot better than being in the recent seasons' relegation battles so I am pretty content.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

One thing tonight and, more broadly, their form since Carrick came in shows is how badly they were underperforming under their old manager. They have quality all over the pitch.

 

[Sharpattack]

10 corners, and not one of them troubled the keeper.
