Match Thread Man Utd v Everton 4th April 2017

[Eggs]

There is zero comparison, One is a world class striker, the other is Lukaku

...Lukaku is certainly a fine goal scorer but Ibrahimovic went to war with our back four. I always think about opposition CBs after a game and ask myself if they think they've had a tough match. Everybody who plays against Lukaku should fear the experience.

...when they got the ball you could see Lewin go wide at times but the whole system was a Horlicks. The only thing I could think of was that they planned to hit long balls to utilise D C-L and Lukaku's strength in the air for knock ons but it didn't work. I hop they ditch that tonight but there was a few rumours that it's the same team.

Hopefully Martial or Rashford won't start, with their pace we could be in trouble.

...I agree. If they take up the same positions as Sane and Coutinho they will have a free run at the CBs once they cut inside. Mourinho will have watched that, hopefully RK has learned a lesson.

When he can be arsed I agree

If I was Koeman I would be whispering in Rom's ear that Mourinho thought he wasn't good enough.

Really hope that wasn't the plan because he very rarely uses his strength in the air when he's got his back to the centre half for knock ons. He doesn't even jump properly and mistimes the ball with alarming regularity.

..I agree but D C-L looks like a back to goal player and is very decent in the air.

...I think you were right with your concerns about character and attitude before the game on Saturday. Perhaps they need a Peter Reid or Andy Gray type in the dressing room, especially with so many youngsters in the team.
