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

[blulouie]

There are now only 2 teams that have scored less than us this season.

The majority seem to find a way of scoring wether its open play , long throw ins or set pieces they all do it.

We genuinely need to get a first class set piece coach , as looking at the huge amount of corners we had tonight we were a shambles.

...and slows down an already pedestrian team??

Nah, he is smart. He probably realises there’s no point giving it to the giraffe in the middle!

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

This. The whole narrative around the club needs to change. Moyes has exactly the same mentality as he did first time round. He talks guff in his press conferences about wanting to qualify for Europe but proceeds to pick overly cautious and defensive line ups with dour tactics. Nowhere near good enough.

On the positive, we got beat by a great ball from £62.5m signing Cunha to £65m Mbuemo who squared it for £67m Sesko to finish.

Other than that lapse of concentration, we played ok if not great. Shame we couldn't put £80m Maguire and £53m Yoro under more pressure.

Also found it laughable that Pickford got booked for dissent from about 60 yards away from the ref, but Fernandes didn't despite getting up close to the ref and for much longer.

Premier league are desperate for Utd to get back into the CL and also for the RS to make it.
Utd finished two places below us last season but can lash out nearly £200m on three forwards.

its a disgrace that they can spend that but villa who narrowly missed out on champions league couldnt spend a bean

So if we ever get a real striker - he'll suddenly speed things up.
In 18months he'll be nowt but an aging, vastly over paid sick note.
4yrs Contact?
No thanks

That feels like we were mugged.

Referee was abysmal and I have a pathological hatred of Fernandes.

Tough one for MotM, in the end I plumped for KDH.

Tonight was t a one of though was it. It’s come b off the back of watched home form with equally wretched football to watch. Very few people saw that lineup tonight and thought Moyes had got it right. United biggest threat is pacy counter attacks, so shoving Michael Keane back in so our 2 slowest enter backs could pair up was criminal. As was playing our best central midfielder at right back, a young lad at left wing and a centre back at left back. Then bringing on our new right winger to play on the left wing, leaving our star player who prefers playing on the left, to play on the right. I’m done with Moyes and his abysmal tactics and set up.

 

[Drico]

Even Seat Unique didn’t sell out tonight for United. Stodge and stability do not sell.

 

[Furey1878]

As well worked as their goal was, it doesn't happen with Branthwaite at CB.

The decision to stop the match and wait while a Man Utd player undressed to come on as a sub was ridiculous. And he booked Pickford for complaining.

Two tier system.

 

[blueblood]

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

Not much point in signing players if the manager won’t play them.

 

[Richard Alex]

Get rid of both forwards in the summer. Sorry but Barry lots of times is behind the defender when the ball comes to him. Granted sometimes his touch is decent. He’s no threat in the box though. I would have kept a clean sheet tonight playing against our forwards. Also creativity is a problem but our forwards offer zero for movement and bullying.

 

[BenToffee79]

You’d think losing another game in exactly the same way you’ve lost 5 others at home would prompt a change from old Moysey but no absolutely pathetic home record with a horror run coming up too , best performances in the last few months have come with Patterson an actual right back in at RB,dewsbury Hall playing deeper, Merlin Rohl in midfield instead he’s shoehorned his faves in Keane and Gueye we look totally unbalanced and now we have our best midfielder at RB, our best CB at left back leaving us playing a high line with the slowest centre half’s in the prem, which is why we have seen that Sesko goal so many times this season , not cheap these season tickets Davie what we getting back

 

[Bob Elstone]

We have a team of giants, 10’corners and zero threat. Awful

It's so odd as we actually looked dangerous from corners under Dyche. McNeil back post to Tarky to either head it in or knock it back for someone else to. Completely lost the sauce now
