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

[blueconverse]

If we can't compete under ancelotti we never will.

 

[RomanReigns]

We are struggling to play out of their high press

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

If we want to bring Gomes on - and I don’t FWIW - it should be for Allan.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Love that everyone has now decided that Allan is useless.

It’s not a coincidence that literally every central midfielder who plays alongside Sigurdsson looks awful.

 

[Chegsy]

At least it’s only 2-1. Still in it. Need to come out firing in the second half though

 

[Obes]

Genuinely haven’t got an idea of how to advance up the pitch other than long balls to Dom’s head. No one getting into gaps between the lines. Without the ball we are nowhere near to any United player. They have the freedom of Goodison.

This will likely finish 1-3 or 1-4.

 

[Saint Domingo]

I've no problem with Keane but agree on the other two. Sigurdsson offers literally nothing and ffs will someone jib him off the set peices too. Coleman isnt a patch on the player he was 4 or 5 years ago. That was up there with one of the worst halves of football we have played. Only 1 goal down is the only positive from that.

We’re conceding two a game and have conceded two fro headers right in the middle of the box. Michael Keane is not a good defender, never has been.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Hopefully Sigurdsson gets taken off at half time. Give Gomes another chance.

Not a chance mate.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

If James wants champions league I recommend he plays a hell of a lot better than that second half.

 

[dannyboy]

Very weak mentally, we took a hammering from the press after the Liverpool game and have looked horrific since. Mentality has been very questionable here for many years.

Bit of this and also a bit of we just aren´t that good and things are levelling out after the start to the season.

 

[istgcptof]

STOP THE COUNT?

 

[Parker]

The defence and the midfield aren't defending as a unit which is the cause for both goals. Ancelotti needs to tell the midfield to either drop back with the defence or for the defence to be braver and push up with the midfield.

Pointless doing neither.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I genuinely wish I didnt have Everton in my life

 

[Rugby Toffee]

We need to get closer and actually put some sort of pressure on them. We are standing and watching them pass around us. Siggy is a passenger as per usual

 

[Dunc's elbow]

Poor half, James not involved and offering zero protection for Coleman; Allan off the pace, Siggy, well I don’t think we can play him & James. No one picking up runners. Change it up Don Carlo.
