Let’s be real. They wanted this game so much more than we did. They treated this like a rivalry and we treated it like any other fixture. We didn’t have composure when we needed it the most, and as a result this happens.

West Ham, Bournemouth and probably Wolves all see it as a rivalry as well...and are always up for the game. Everton just can't be arsed getting geed up.

Yes they had the hunger and we didn't. Got to treat evry match the same....full tilt and at them. No room for foot off the gas in this league unless you are one of the top teams.
 
That's a pathetic result, it really is, we need to turn this around sharpish because we're still in the hunt for top 6. We need to stop this thing every year that no matter who the manager is and no matter who the players are, as soon as we get in a position to start doing something meaningful, we take two steps back.

Just glad we have a nothing to lose game next. Regardless of all our intent every season we need to stop being a team that draws so many games.

Loads had poor games, shaded the first half, but they took control second and frankly a combination of them seeming to want it more and just outworking, and out muscling us all second half.

Dodged a bullet snd robbed a point t that game.

Shows to me anyway that whilst we have imo a very good starting 11, beyond that we have absolutely nothing, so soon as a few are off form or need a rest during a busy stretch like this we either bring in crap, or persist playing out of form or knackered players.

Loads of lads, (unfortunately) are playing themselves out of a future here. Not bad players and in honesty not players with a poor attitudes or shirkers but just players who aren't quite at the right level. Lookman, DCL, Tosun, Walcott could all find themselves moving on come the summer.

I hoped for a realistic four points out of the last two games. I thought this game was the tougher one and at this point, I'm glad we got the draw. The more disappointing one was Newcastle. That should have been three points!
 

We atm are ultimately ately in a pack of teams around 6-10th l, anyone who thinks united are a lot ahead hasn't seen them dropping points as bad as this was this season.

Good first 11, very little depth and during a busy stretch of games that's getting highlighted. Also have a few players that when they gave an off day, they really stinks the gaff out - Coleman being the biggest example sadly.

Richarlison does have 8 goals this season. Before tonight I was convinced he could handle it up top but he really struggled to keep the ball in the second half so maybe he does need to play wider but make no mistake his best attribute has been and will continue to be scoring goals. What United have that we don't is the best GK in the world and some genuinely top class creative players who do a lot of damage on the occasions that they do show up to play.

Richarlison should always play out wide, regardless of our choice of strikers. I'd prefer any of Tosun, DCL or Niasse as a striker as long as it means Richarlison is out wide because it's a waste of his talent.
