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

[Marcus Kendall]

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.

It's s*** mate

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

Mate...i understand as an Everton fan, we dont have a lot of goals to reflect back on...but that was not vintage Brazil, that was pump it over the head of the slow cb who is standing on the halfway line, speedy forward runs it down and lays it on for player who is running in support...believe it or not there was a time we could do that..

The ambition and aspirations of some of our fans is absolutely rock bottom.

Tarkowski looked liked an asthmatic grandpa trying to get back

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

Thought I'd have people disagreing with this

They are seen as our star players, but due to the fact we don't score much they shouldn't be above being questioned

It's a shame but that's what the last few seasons have done. They think this is the best we can hope for. Boils my p*** them excepting this dross

Playing Armstrong left wing is crazy. Did he offer anything more than any of our other options at left wing would have?
Did Branthwaite offer anything more than miko? Or did Keane offer more than Branthwaite would have at centre half? Not criticising the players, but sick of these awful selections from Moyes

….predictable as I said at HT, only surprise is United didn’t get a 2nd when we tried to push on.

We look insipid in the top third, bit surprised Rohl wasn’t introduced to give a bit of energy in that CM. Too many average performances, thought Keane and Garner were about our best. Garner our best midfielder, Garner our best RB, Garner MoM.

Very disappointing.

Keane was woeful imo, what was he doing for United's goal? Basically just allowed Mbuemo to pass it though to sesko imo

(Agree with the rest of your post though)

Can't decide if that was a game of football tonight or i was watching some WWE !

 

[banno]

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.

Now look at the away games. He is the right man for the time being

Maybe not quite vintage Brazil but we had some good moments. First half the interplay on the right side between garner, Ndiaye and iroegbunam some nice passing to get in behind the Man Utd defence and then we cross and the centre half blocks it

We limited the mighty Man Utd to very few opportunities, they resorted to long range efforts due to frustration.

Sometimes you set up to play for a 1-0

We have fans working 8 hours on a Monday, then making the journey to Bramley Moore, paying ridiculous prices, watching football that should be illegal, then waiting 45 mins to get out of the traffic to get home fed up and disappointed at 11pm..

And then they come home and go online to tell other Everton fans that they're too negative and we should be happy things are better than last season..

Its absolutely nuts that people are so willing to accept such an expensive poor product that does nothing but make you fed up haha

We dont score goals just like it was with dyche

We've scored 29 goals in 27 games, only two clubs have scored fewer. We all knew the problem at the start of the season, yet bugger all was done about it.

 

[PhilM]

We could have played until midnight, and we wouldn’t have scored. The usual cluelessness in the final third is our undoing.

Why we continued to do the same corner routine even though it wasn’t working after a few was frustrating to say the least.

Where’s the pragmatism?
