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

[BirkenheadBlue]

dcl was offside, open and staring at an empty net

Fixed

Not having won a match since 1994 when losing at half time is some next level statistic lol

I bring it up every time we are losing at half time and nothing changes lol

 

[Lloydystark]

This is correct. We're getting destroyed in midfield. Siggurdson is offering nothing as usual and Allen is being dragged all over the place. I thought Pickford could have come for the cross that led to the 2nd. The ball was clipped into the 6 yard box, not much pace on it and in the air for along time. Surely he's got to come for it.

The 2nd goal was abit of a fluke with rashford not actually touching it

 

[MrGrumpy]

Name the biggest clown: Keane, Holgate, Pickford. My money is on Keane.

Gylifi is the problem with this team

 

[peteblue]

Only trouble is by being open and attacking a lot we play right into their hands. It's the one way this united team knows how to play, blistering counter-attacks.

What would you want them to do, stand still and let us play around them....

 

[ForeverBlue92]

We have literally one way of playing, in which Richarlison is key, and if it doesn’t work then we turn into a nothing, mid table team.

That’s on Ancelotti.

And Brands signing us a bunch of players that are not good enough.

Another £25 million spent on a CB who's sat on our bench and no forward brought in its completely baffling.

Dont win today the seasons over in terms of the league NEA you dont take 1-2 points out of 12 and get Europe.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

I reckon losing at home to this abysmal, utterly beatable Man Utd team is a worse result than losing away to Newcastle, NGL.

 

[riddick]

Christ, we did nothing but attempt to address the issue in CM this summer and we're still crap there.

 

[Vortexgaz]

And people said zaha wouldn’t get in this team pffffff

 

[trueblue84]

He´ll probably be thinking it´s time to negotiate a new contract.

With real Madrid...

 

[RomanReigns]

I’m thinking Keane should have been more aggressive and come forward to cut that pass to Bruno for the 2nd goal

 

[GwladysBlue]

Y’know what, Ancelotti, get Gordon on the bench and stop being so ‘Kim stubborn. We know he isn’t the end product but he’s better than the hasbeen gash we have sitting there. Ffs.

 

[NathDogg]

Massive second half this - for us and Carlo.

These just got bummed by a Turkish pub side, flew back and then had an early sat kick off to contend with
We've had all week FFS to prepare.

Not good enough across midfield, but the siggy effect cannot be underestimated - he completely destroys us both defensively and offensively, and completely neutralises our other players around him. People getting on Allan's and Doucs case need to give their heads a wobble.

Siggy will be Carlos kryptonite if he continues to select him - he must be an absolute monster training, but his performance in the league are in the record books - that's what he should be selected on.

Show a bit of fight, heart and determination Everton, for once.

 

[Joey66]

Every threat down the right wing - our midfielders walking around lucky it's only 2-1 tbh deign had to square it to DCL too but another lack lustre performance.......the midfield is so slow ...

 

[paulbefc]

Exactly the kind of game where at 1-0 the crowd would have been a big factor and United's mental strength would have been tested far more.

We may need to re-jig this system a bit, because teams are finding way too much space in the middle.

Having Richarlison really would have helped like. At the end of the day, we've been done by two simple crosses though. Centre halves look like strangers.
