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

It does sort of make you wonder what goes through his head with his team selections, the only thing I will say is we appear to get results far more often with team selections that cause uproar than the ones that everyone agrees with

Go support a City or PSG if glory hunting is the only thing in it for you.

There’s a large gap between glory hunting and it would be cool to play one game at Wembley again!

Mykolenko has been wank. Is Branthwaite any better at left back? I'm not sure about that myself.

At least Garner at right back gives something.

 

[JLW]

The anti-Moyes crew can have at it for a while. No complaints here, that starting 11 is indefensible. Pretty much a fully fit squad and he is still shoe-horning. Not a clue what he is trying to achieve at times.

He is picking his best players and then putting them into a team.

Let's hope we are all praising him at the end of the game but I doubt it. I can already smell this performance an hour before kick off.

A 0-2 win to Utd in 2nd gear.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Let's see how it plays out yeah?

 

[jerseytoffee]

It’ll be 4231 with Branthwaite left back and Armstrong out wide.

Needs to have three big centre backs as we can’t defend corners

 

[preposterousvelios]

So much for Moyes getting shut of all the loose lips.

Can’t fathom his thinking at all selection wise, square peg round holes all over the shop, he’s had loads of time throwing the cup games and that’s the best he can do?

Centre mid playing right back
Centre back playing left back
Centre mid playing right wing

While we have 2 wingers and 3 fullbacks on the bench is crazy

And thats without even getting into the Michael Keane of it all.

Yep, we've just got to hope he knows what he's doing.

There's literally nothing else we can do except wait and see.

Branthwaite will be far better than Mykolenko but then we don't have our best defender in central defence. So I don't see the point of it.

8-0 to Everton, you heard it here first.

 

[Lapeno77]

Defensive stability above all else.
Batten down the hatches, backs to the wall etc etc

How often are non top 6 teams at Wembley?

If that's what you're after it's City you want mate.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

One suspension has moved about 4 positions and players around. I'm completely lost what he's trying to do. His refusal to play actual full backs in the right and left back positions is one of the stranger tactical decisions I've seen from an Everton manager. And I dont believe it has worked once yet in a home game.

He literally said we have no worry for a RB as patto has done OK and then not played him since

 

[WilliamBoo]

What happens with Charly? out of the bench indeed

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Yeah I think im out tbh
