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

[d4kyxx]

A pacey young energetic team would be 2 nil up today against a united side that look poor.

However we lack energy pace and quality due to an old team full of below average players. Koeman is to blame too for not addressing this in the summer

 

[Tin-Tin]

I can't decide if this turgid display is down to Koeman or the below average players we've got ignoring the bloke.

I find it hard to believe that such a technical player who has played with some of the best players in the world and one of the best teams would enjoy us lumping it up.......then again, he doesnt seem to be stopping it

 

[NorthernBlue]

This is getting beyond the joke now. We are so bad.

You mean as opposed to the rest if them who are pulling up trees? Come on mate you obviously just dont like him

I don't like him, but when he does well I praise him. He's been anonymous and lost the ball 3-4 times in the last 15 minutes alone, by having a poor first touch or poor passing/positioning.

It's not about pulling trees, but most players can control a ball. A midfielder even more so. He literally miscontrolled a ball that Gana gave him on a cushion, it was harder to do that than to control it ffs!

Same with Mirallas really - chances were there for him, United's defence falling asleep, but he can't control a ball that's not passed to him at snail's pace.

 

[Kantareller]

Zero in attack, quite painful to watch. Questionable goalkeeping but I really can't be arsed anymore. It's more or less a formality now I guess

 

[jerseytoffee]

Why are we playin so many long balls? Is Koeman out of ideas? Would like to Barkley on for Barry so we can try and play a bit of football

Chelsea fan here and Koeman needs to go. Everton used to be fun to watch, but it's just crap these days. Zero creativity or excitement and that's on the manager.

No way your a Chelsea fan
Speaking too much sense

It's a properly weird situation we're in. I'm watching us play and just scratching my head completely bemused.

 

[ilikecheese]

So sick of pointless hoofball. We offer zero attacking threat.

Utterly crap goal to concede.

Just another crap day at the office for Koeman.

 

[Ducans elbow]

Is it a case of we are just not good enough and don't have the players

 

[DualityNSNO]

Why is Leon Osman in the studio?

Was the game not bad enough?!

 

[Joey66]

Joel can be really really bad at times.

Let us down once in the last two seasons Stek always an error in him Southamptons no 2!

 

[captainvindaloo]

Comical goal... Sums it all up, right?

 

[everton2004]

Let's see how you feel after the next three games and we are dragged into a relegation battle

I'm not expecting much from the next three games to be honest. The January window is going to be crucial - Koeman knows where we need strengthening, time will tell if the money is made available to do so.
