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

[Lloydystark]

Any team can get on top of us when you have Sigurdsson in the midfield.

Coleman Sigurdsson Keane are not good enough for too 6 squad. They’ve had managers fired in the past and they’ll keep hindering this team. Not good enough.

I’m sorry but I dis agree on Keane. Him and holgate aren’t on the same wave length today

Changes needed at half time. Siggy has got to come off he hasn't done a thing yet again

 

[banno]

Why oh why is Holgate playing? He is all over the place. Only Digne, Keane and Bernard can take any satisfaction from the half. Got to be a change of tact 2nd half or we could get mullered

 

[Zezti]

The right side is where the problems are. I'd honestly take Gylfi off and go 3 CBs so Coleman gets some help.

 

[UptheTofees]

We miss Gomes. I don't think a midfield of 3 with Siggurdson will ever work

 

[johnjoeefc]

This is shocking. Coleman I’m a massive fan This season but you’ve been crap today, holgate why on earth has carlo picked you this early. Doucoure Siggy and Allan all look lost. Dcl and dcl are just spectators.

Dcl is a spectator too

Nobody comes out of this half with any credit at all. United played 48 hours ago, away, in Turkey. Not acceptable at all. Our piss-weak fragile players' heads have dropped and it looks like they've already accepted defeat as per.

Worst thing about it was that United were on the ropes having been criticised all week - then we go and take the lead and still manage to make a balls of it. Very very frustrating

 

[Smodger]

The finger pointer is everywhere in this game good show sigggy you.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Wow, 40 games since we turned around a 2-1 at home....

We need to accept we have had a good start but we are not a top 8 side yet, be realistic

 

[dannyboy]

We're getting beat in midfield because Doucoure doesn't have much, Sigurdsson has nothing and the one decent player in Allan is being used in a role that isn't his best.

I would agree with everything apart from Allan. He just looks painfully off the pace and unable to compete with sides who press us with any sort of energy.

 

[stretford blue]

Lucky to be only one down we need to score the next goal if it's get it could get embarrassing

 

[Maltese_Falcon]

More than half the team didn't turn up

 

[GrandOldTeam]

No point fuming at individual players.

I was confident before the game but that half has shown that Man Utd, when on their game - are better than us.

Allan/Doucoure are slowly starting to concern me. Allan seems a shadow of his first few games after going off injured and I can't understand what Doucoures role is.

Sigurdsson has been poor, Rodriguez anonymous - Bernard has been the only player showing some tenacity.

Someone said earlier a lot of our lads think it's enough to just "get there" without a challenge and that's bang on.

Also think Keane and Holgate let us down for the first goal, and I find it bonkers how much space we've allowed Fernandes.

We're still in this if our midfield turn up this half.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

I can’t even sack this off and go the pub! Oh the never ending horror!!

 

[Lloydystark]

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.

I do agree about Coleman having no support, James needs to be a number 10
