Match Thread Everton v Man Utd - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[maccavennie]

This is the worst United side since 1989,thats why we are winning.

That's the same as saying this Everton side is the crappest we've had since 1997 which is why they keep getting beat.

Don't care how crap Utd may be, if we win today it'll be like winning the bloody FA Cup such is its importance

 

[BlueandWhite]

You know how certain people evoke a look from an earlier era or time, is it me or does harry Maguire look like a medieval stable boy?

Certainly plays like one

 

[Blue Roo]

Having Delph and Alan makes a huge difference, when ones not there the other pops up and does the job

 

[atypicalusername]

Godfrey and Mykolenko class in defence

Godfrey seems to play better with Keane next to him. Has been a nervous wreck the last couple of matches so its good to see.

 

[Martin Alvito]

We beat them 4-0 2 or 3 seasons ago, that was a poor side

They have had a lot of poor sides since SAF hung it up.

 

[Mr PEN86]

We need a second for sure. To calm the nerves at least. These lot can score at any time.

I’d haul DCL off, Richy down the middle and Gray on the left

I agree; take him off.

His mind is obviously on the High Heels and the Handbags.

Frank will probably have his arm around him telling him how amazing he is. No wonder he can't be ar$ed to up his game.

Id be scrolling through the latest edition of Victoria’s Secret and promising him I will buy him and outfit he wants if he wins more than 3 headers and runs more than 1km in the second half.

I never understood the criticism towards delph. Maybe not a midfield wizzard but in a war game you want him.

 

[Sticky Toffee Pudding]

Ain't it lovely to watch Manchester United struggle.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Godfrey seems to play better with Keane next to him. Has been a nervous wreck the last couple of matches so its good to see.

Maybe because Keane is supposedly better in the air and makes decent forward runs (which he then uses to give the ball to the opposition, but at least he does it), which means Godfrey is mostly covering instead of taking the initiative, which is what he excels at.

every player is fighting

Nearly every player is fighting ?!

 

[Colonel Getafe]

No, I just think he can't get up to speed having to come back mid season, many a footballer have said it's really hard to get up to speed when you have been injured and your coming back mid season.

The level of fitness and sharpness the team have is a level above yours and your always playing catch up.

In the space of about half a season Eriksen has come back from the dead to find top form and lead Brentford up the table. You'd think DCL would be able to recover fully from whatever leg injury he had by now?!

 

[Fansince1988]

DCL has been Woeful again

 

[arbok]

Good half by everyone, except DCL, genuinely.

Can find a positive or good play from everyone except him.

For someone who boasted that he's improved his physical and mental game recently - both seem to be non existent and he seems to be proving the criticism wrong by being ultra crap. Nice one Dominic.

He has to come off because he looks unfit.
