Match Thread Everton v Manchester United : Sun 4 Dec : KO 1600

[EFC63]

Woke up full of cold, feel like crap and this will be the cherry on the cake. COYB

At least you've got cake so it can't be all bad

I think we will probably lose 1-2. But no idea what to make of this side. Definitely can't trust this lot for a performance anyway.

 

[Stutheblue]

Think we can win it, but also lose it. For me, it depends on the attitude of the players from the off. Get into them, and keep the pedal down. Nothing less than this today I'm afraid. A loss today, especially if its gutless, will be damaging all round (players, confidence in manager, and us the fans!).
If we put a real shift in and lose, I'll take a rain check until Watford away next week.

All the teams we have struggled to beat got hammered today?
How bad are we ?
Or is it just a blip?

More like a blimp joey.

Sadly I can't see much improvement in the attitude. It's December now. A change in mentality would have happened by now surely.

Being destroyed by Chelsea left them completely unfazed. I thought that would have finally brought something out of these players, but no.

First game in years that I won't be watching today (by that I mean streams/tv or attending) so let's hope that's an omen.

Is that through choice?

You know then if we win you are going to be faced with a very tough choice going forward!

Yeah I'm in Orlando so going to Magic Kingdom in WDW with kids. I have it on record in the Villa though.

True.

...Very unlikely to happen but I was wondering who might take a penalty if we were awarded one. Baines and Lukaku have missed against this United keeper in recent seasons. I always prefer my striker to take the penalties but it'll probably be Baines.

Would prefer Lukaku but he needs more conviction on them and not them ones where if the keeper goes the right way its an easy save. Harry Kane is the best Penalty taker I have seen in a while since Shearer. Even if the keeper guesses the right way his still shouldn't save it..
