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

Do you need to ask yourself that? We bought him from a relegated team!

Means absolutely nothing.

He's a good player who didn't show it today, but we're also not making the most of his best qualities.

He was excellent in our good run.

Iwobi can run but not crossing.

Of all the crap in that post the highlighted bit isn't even right.

Which bit of it is crap mate? Did the Rs not win the league? Are Southampton not top? I haven't looked at the stats but my perception is that we always win at Goodison and they always win at St James'.

Anyway sorry I agree, a few weeks ago we were the best team in the world, and now we're the worst, nothing to do with the teams that we've played. No doubt once we get a result against Fulham and Burnley we'll be the best team in the world again!

That’s not down the fans to have that attitude, is it? Especially at this moment in time when we literally can’t make any difference because we aren’t there.

As a club, we cannot compete. It doesn’t matter what we do.

Talk a good game but never deliver. That’s Everton.

It’s everyone at the club mate, yes we can’t make a difference in the stands but we can still get behind them by keeping heads planted on

It’s easy to say ‘we’ve been here before’ and that’s what clouds people’s judgement at times, they’ve been burnt in the past. But there’s signs there that we are heading in the right direction, we’ve just got to stick it out

My worry is this team is very slow and does iwobi have in his contract that he doesn't have to tackle?

He tracked back and put a tackle in at the end. He was also brought on when we were chasing the game.

I find this a bit weird that after that crap show today you chose to have a go at Iwobi who was one of the only players who was slightly above fairly decent today.

We have bought plenty of relegated teams even England's number one haha number one.

 

[BlueToff]

Good first 4 games, crap last 4 games.

We can only perform when we are safely in midtable

We won 7 in a row in all comps.

Last week of the window we let two forwards (based on the 4-3-3) go and didn't bring any in.

Regardless of Kean and Walcott going, we needed another one in. To not get a quality player in was negligent

Would make absolutely no difference.

What a wild take to be blaming fan negativity when it's a closed ground ffs. Amazing.

 

[Pat Butcher]

This Man Utd side are pathetic and they have just whooped up in our own yard

Grim

What signs? We’ve picked up one point out of 12. We haven’t looked like bouncing back once the minute things didn’t go our way.

I don’t want Ancelotti sacked but if we don’t get Europe this season then what is the point in him being here?

 

[Smodger]

Iwobi can run but not crossing.

Run rounds in circles yet to see this SH make a tackle.

 

[R.Reddington]

Long term project. Trying to focus on the bigger picture here...

Did we really expect all our problems to magically disappear in one transfer window?

We will build a team and build the depth of the squad over years and it’s going to take time and patience blues.

Out of our new signings, I still think Allan is quality and James needs some time to get back. Doucoure not impressing me though - hes just not doing what we thought he could. It's either the system or he's not good enough either

Allan sits and breaks up play.
Siggy/gomes stand and point/lets the play bypass them.
Doucoure has to run for 2 men. Hes a good player he just needs someone who is both mobile and responsible

The team started great, theyve had a blip p

 

[mikel_88]

No depth in the squad with an unfit james today was nothing in midfield, the options out wide simply not good enough. Just tosun coming on shows how poor are cf options with dcl are. Hope cant get atleast one in jan

It was very odd indeed but nothing surprises me with Brands. I wouldn’t give him any money in January.
