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

[PercyPlant]

Love Moyes, but with Mykelenko and Patterson on the bench resulting taking our best player this season out of midfield to accommodate then he deserves all the criticism he gets when we lose.

It feels ok to say that as it isn’t agenda driven nonsense.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Everything about that team was obviously going to happen, except Branthwaite LB. That’s filth that. Not to fussed about Garner moving over given he’s our best RB, but it’s just allowed another game for Gana, which I don’t think works for us anymore.

Going to be a slog, but COYB

 

[bebo86]

Alcaraz injured?

 

[Amokachi1995]

That team is honking. Just play a wide player (or two).

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Give it to illy and hope.

JB at lb infuriates me the most

 

[Look to the future]

Don't like the line up

 

[blueconverse]

I thought the leaked team was a joke. He's absolutely lost the plot

 

[nsno_traditionally]

Good to see so many square pegs playing in round holes for absolutely no other reason than Moyes has no idea how to set us up at home.

 

[Frenk]

Weird looking team selection that. We are trying to confuse them?

 

[JLW]

Think we get a draw at best, we cant put in a 90 minute performance home or away.

The home form is rank and basically we react to what the opposition do instead of imposing ourselves from the first whistle.
We need to go right at them from the off but I think we will stand off and respect the badge to much rather than treat them like average team they are.

 

[Mr PEN86]

How does this guy conspire to squeeze Keane into this team?? Utterly baffling.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Absolutely f…ing raging. Come all the way down from Scotland going to end up spending well over a grand and that’s the team he’s picked. Square peg round hole FC.

 

[TheBigIguana]

What is it you think we need to do to 'gain an edge' so to speak.

We need to have a clearly defined way of playing (within reason, Dyche has a clearly designed system but its total garbage so it doesn’t matter), we need to have defined roles within that system, we need to have a recruitment play that finds players for the system, we need to have managers who are bought into this and we need to have a DOF or other management type structure that ensures we’re spending in a sustainable way both for the finances and for stocking the team with talent.

Fwiw a reasonable amount of this is happening under Moyes, but there are still disconnects and those disconnects can turn into real problems quicker than people seem to realize.

 

[ArtetaMagic]

Where the heck is Graham?!!

 

[Saint Domingo]

Has to win with that team selection. He’s inviting criticism.

Keane and Gana in the team, Branthwaite left back, Armstrong out wide, KDH at 10, Garner out of position. Just ridiculous.

So many players out of position.
