Match Thread Everton v Manchester United - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Toffe3m4n]

We have a small handful of genuinely good players and the rest let them down regularly.

All in all I'm happy that it's still 1-1 but we need to improve MASSIVELY second half.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Walcott has zero strength

 

[riddick]

Sigurdsson woeful per usual. Cannot fathom what Ancelotti sees him contributing.

 

[Neiler]

Walcott so painfully missing an end product, reminds me of Almost Osman.

 

[mahermi1]

I know he's been injured but Gomes has been poor

Don't think he has, he's easily been the pick of our midfield and when you think of the dross surrounding him Gomes has been really good imo.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Our midfield is causing chaos. Too slow, weak and leaving space everywhere

 

[Rook]

I know he's been injured but Gomes has been poor

Point: probably not wise to start him in an uptempo match post injury.

Counterpoint: what options do we have

 

[f.t.r.s]

Sidibe, sig, and Pickford letting the side down again,
Awful goal to concede
Still reckon we'll do these

 

[Archie Knox]

I'd genuinely do Davies for Mina and put Holgate in midfield.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Gylfi infield? We have no legs with Gomes and Davies and you want even slower player in there?

I'd like delph on but making all our changes in the first 45 is asking for trouble. Davies is on a yellow already and way off the pace, this ref loves cards so I'd get him off. Gomes will do well to see out the full 90.

 

[dannyboy]

Midfield was really poor there. No control of the game at all. We look dangerous going forward but it hasn´t happened often enough.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Shame we’ve decided to play this one with 10 men.

 

[Walken]

Missing Digne, Gomes needs a ball winning partner, right side is trash

Strip that midfield apart from gomes, sidibe is tony thomas bad

 

[Number_25]

I wouldn't mind the game continuing to play out like the last 8 or so minutes.

 

[brieverton]

Still unbelievably weak mentally - we’ve scored early and panicked again

They can't seem to manage having something to lose against the 'bigger' sides. Almost as if its easier for them to chase a game. Go a goal up that early and the whole team should be buzzing but with us it just increases the nerves all round.
