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

[Smodger]

We will win our next game. It’ll be down to Richy being out for all the games we lost.

And what game was Richy banned in?

I really hate them. They and the media acted like we destroyed there season when we have lost 3 in a row over it.

But relying on one player is not good enough after the Amount spent.

We can't really complain about that it was a woeful tackle.

 

[BlueToff]

We’ve both followed Everton long enough to know what happens when this club gets on a losing streak. We’ll be about 15th by the time Christmas comes.

Our summer additions, Allan and Doucoure in particular, have not been good enough.

You weren't saying that after the first seven games, though.

The new signings have all added something.

The issue is there wasn't enough of them.

They should have been down to 10

Bruno would have got about 5 different first yellow cards if he hadn't been booked, if that makes sense

 

[McMagicT]

Make a move Now for Pochettino, before United get him. Napoli waited too long to get rid.

 

[mrb85]

Smashed by a fully fit United side that can count on bringing Cavani and Pogba off the bench

Both crap.

 

[Frenk]

The Everton project, one of the longest projects in history. I am just thankful I got to see us win things. I am sorry the younger generation’s haven’t.

I know I’m just saying it had to be them.

No but I’ve seen what happens when the chips are down. We were riding a wave of optimism and good fortune, this is the real Everton. The Everton we have been for a good 6 years now.

 

[orly]

We’ve lost 3 games this season mate, after winning 7 of the previous 8, we’re still in a strong position in the league, now is not the time for heads to roll off

Played 7 league games, lost three, drawn 1 with a very easy start.

Be still my beating heart.

Maguire's on Digne (where DCL was offside so we know it can't count) was a carbon copy of Richarlison's. Rash, got the ball but had studs up.

 

[ForeverEverton]

I can't, after a break + with Richarlison

[Brownie]

When was the last time we saw a player trying to have a dig outside the box? We need to be having far more efforts on goal, instead of side wards and back passing and generally faffing about.

Bernard and Doucoure today and they both skied them into oblivion.

I mostly agree, but at the start of the season the new signings all had such a positive impact, so you can't just say 'they're not good enough'.

The issue has derived from not bringing in one or two more players in the last window - and the main one was up front, because we lost one player (Richarlison) and it completely knocked the system out of shape.

Carlo should have reacted better and changed it (albeit he did against Newcastle to disastrous effect), but it comes down to not getting more in.
