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

[wandyr79]

An interesting game.

First half was 2 teams set up in similar ways. Get back behind the ball when possession lost and try to break us down. Neither team could.

Second half, thought we opened up a bit and created chances. One opportunity taken by them was the only real big difference between the 2 sides.

Draw would have been the fair result.

Calmed down a bit… I think the annoyance from last night was that Everton looked like scoring and then due to an error and an outstanding pass we were outdone. It’s frustrating as I thought we played well, but we just can’t seem to get any quality up front. I was hugely annoyed at the constant madness of our corners! Why the hell we didn’t try another tactic is beyond me…

it’s a process I guess, but roll on next season and some more wins.

FYI
I’m still pro Moyes and I do think we’re moving fwd as a club

Disagree, don't think we ever looked like scoring (what our plan was supposed to be when we got in the final third? I don't know) lumping the ball forward to the big left back and hoping for scraps isn't ideal, also didn't think we played well overall mainly due to how we were set up and although our forwards are limited, what more was barry supposed to do? He didn't get a sniff of service and thought he worked chasing down etc. As for those corners?

The WWE corners were pure 80's Wimbledon, surely we're a bit better than that ? Surprised Tarky didn't see red at one point, even if we'd of scored VAR would of no doubt ruled it off with all the pushing going on. A forward thinking manager would of abandoned that tactic after a few attempts. Absolutely shocking after so many corners absolutely nothing on target, Baffling !!!

We huffed and puffed but got nowhere.
Gave the ball away too easily.
Referee was appalling
Lack of pace kills us.
Some players belief in their ability doesn't quite match reality.
The corners were incredulous

Why is our goalscoring so inept season after season? Just looked at the table on the red button,it's embarrassing to see our 29 in the goals (F) column, even soon to be relegated West a Ham have scored 32.

 

[Rodebaard]

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

Maguire will eat that stuff up all day. It's basically what he does best, like Dunk, Mings etc. A bit of variation, where we don't just try and hit Tarkowski in the middle every time was what was required. Tarks front post, Keane deep back post, Branthwaite running onto it... I dunno, just break things up a bit and make them think

Our next game is newcastle away, i expect us to lose, our next home game is burnley, if we dont win that moyes should get the bullet on the final whistle.

Hoping for a draw against Burnley. That'll be a result for us.

He had 1 save to make, but he has looked good recently overall.

He had 1 save to make, but he has looked good recently overall.

I think that's underselling what he did.

He claimed everything he had to - and kept hold of a few decent shots in slippery conditions.

As I said he's a good keeper but it stands he had to make 1 save, the rest were almost entirely either weak or aimed at him.

More a criticism of our finishing than their keeper really.

Didn't let the corner bullying get to him, either.

I think he looked really solid.

 

[evertony]

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.

It's a lesson we should learn. A good coach gets a tune out of this squad.

Just dealing with everything we put into the box catching everything making it all look easy
