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

[the golden visionary]

This is a selection to do one thing. Stop man u scoring at the expense of everything else.

But all it'll do is isolate the good forward thinking players and bring contsant pressure onto us.

If they score first it might be a long night

 

[Zatara]

Also - Is Aznou dead?

He showed him up in the cup.

Garner said he was looking forward to him getting more pitch time after that.

Its just been so poor with Aznou & Dibling and giving them mins.

Not athletic enough for the PL remember? Whilst that physical powerhouse McNeil gets selected over him.

McNeil who was out the door of course.

Really incredible.

And KDH isn’t a 10 either.

This is the worst for me.

My main concern with Moyes in recent weeks is we are not building anything for the future here. Unbalanced teams, players out of position, some young players clearly not trusted, and we aren't trying to play any football. Even Armstrong who he does select is now apparently a wide player?

There comes a point where we have to ask is that what we need longer term as a club if we want to actually be good again at some point. I'm not even sure it's doing us any good in the here and now either.

Spot on.

 

[Sharpies volley]

I hope he's playing 3 in a narrow midfield otherwise we'll get overrun.

 

[Davideeyore]

Alan Stubbs speaking very well on Radio LFC Merseyside

United are nothing special just now.
We should beat these easily.

They just tied with West Ham but Moyes is acting like Real Madrid just rolled up...ffs

Losing fans and Europe with his approach at home.
No Europe and that's N'Diaye, probably Brantwhaite gone and McNeil and Keane retained for squad depth.

 

[Blobloblob985]

Can’t wait for us to make our first sub in the 87th min when we are 3-0 down

 

[brittcop1]

Yeah they’re only the literal form team in the league like.

Just tied away to West Ham. Lets not get carried away

 

[Efcjake]

Since 2016 mate. We lost the semi to United in 2016.

Ah yes, I've wiped that one from my memory.

If you've included the semis and it's still only happened 11 times I'd say it's not that common and probably a complaint every non-top 6 club has.

I'm hopeful we are heading in the right direction.

 

[Number_25]

Weird setup.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Cunha vs Keane - there's a battle to watch...

 

[Sadken]

As illogical as this is, I hope it works.

I mean, one guy is out due to suspension and it creates changes in 5 other spots.

The kicker is the guy they're replacing at RB isn't even a freaking RB.

So tonight weare playing two full backs who are not full backs, dosent fill me with confidence.

 

[brittcop1]

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

Not at home...we shall see. Hes had two weeks to co.e up with something since the Bournmouth shambles...this is it. I just dont see any pace or threat

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Head scratcher team at home. Hope it surprises as I love to see 40pts by the end of the day.

 

[wiggum23]

Wow, that’s grim.
