I always thought around 10th would be decent in a rebuild season at a new ground and I think we end up around there.

But it is so annoying that we have a platform to go for Europe and are letting it slip with negative line ups. I’m a big Moyes fan, but with no chance of relegation just bloody have a go an see where we end up.

We're winning this.

A very welcome sight !!

 

[Igrok]

We're winning this.

Moyesey already filled the quota of United wins for next 10 years…

Could really do with Garner playing at the base of a midfield 3 to try and nullify the threat of Fernandes

If he flogs Gana for 90 mins during Ramadan I’ll lose my mind

It's another home game, and our home performances have left an awful lot to be desired, so again I am not expecting very much tonight.

We're overdue to win a home match, and their new manager bounce is due to end. The timing this fixture is perfect.

The tide will turn at some point, so why not tonight..

First season in a new stadium is always hard for teams..

I have zero confidence at home with us at the minute.

Which exactly when we end up pulling a rabbit out of the hat…..

Hopefully

But it's more the lack of balance to the team than the fact its a new stadium. We have more possession at home generally, and there is more pressure on us to make the running in games. We just haven't been able to find any kind of balance between creating chances and also staying defensively strong. It's not an easy thing to fix, especially when you don't have good centre forward or full back play.

Agree, Barry or Beto will be up top on their own whilst everybody else is sat back in our half defending, Pickford launching the ball up expecting the striker too compete against the entire Utd backline.

As painful as it could be to watch tonight, utd will probably come at us on the front foot which could benefit us.

Either way, the lineup announcement will certainly kick off a storm in here..

It will be a case of how many square pegs into round holes can he fit.

Everton fans watching David Moyes pick his team.

This is why I think we might win this. Moyes will treat them with more respect than other teams. So we might nick a goal like an away game.

Hope the players and fans are well up for this and can get the new gaff going properly.

Worried about our managers choice of starting 11 though.
