Match Thread Man Utd v Everton. Saturday Oct 2nd.12.30 pm

[Parker]

I'm not saying he's a right back, but let's get it right he's been here 18ish months and he's spent the majority of that time at full back, so again he should be covering that area.

He played 4 games at right back last year.

But OK.

Hes a centre half. That's why his instincts were to tuck in and send them wide. The problem is that our club is run by morons. Not that a lad who is clearly still struggling with COVID complications is being forced out of position.

 

[Lubsy]

Dacoure been fantastic here.... Alan his usual assured self,
Rondon dog $h!te
Got to take ur chances here or get punished

But funnily i have afeeling we can get at these and get back into it

UTFT

 

[Zatara]

Id get Rondon off and bring on Dobbin.

Play on the deck against these and use our attacking pace to run at them.

 

[rstevens]

By far the better team I thought, just lackinf the obvious quality. Brands needs to be sacked, what I state the sqaud is in???

Rafael is trying to turn water into wine,and it shows. He is doing great up to now.

 

[chrissyjack]

I hope Rondon scores . Someone’s head will explode

 

[neil999]

Classic let's do the opposite of what are doing and we'd be winning

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Cavani not scored all season, Martial not scored for 15 games.

*heads immediately to skybet.

Congratulations.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Just got in, no Ronaldo or Pogba, Man U giving us a chance.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Rondon not as awful as people off here have made him out to be. Could have done better with a chance or two but link up play has been decent.

He's helped occupy the CB's and given Gordon and Gray a bit of space.

Clearly not good enough at present but we knew this - the other option is some kid wet behind the ears with 70k mancs abusing up against international quality defenders.

 

[Zatara]

Rondon not as awful as people off here have made him out to be. Could have done better with a chance or two but link up play has been decent.

Id say hes comfortably the worst player on the pitch...

...by a distance --he couldnt hope to cover.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Which among the many other fit strikers we have would you have picked?

Dobbin.

 

[Tel001]

All our shots get blocked and they score one off a deflection. Everton that.

rondons shots get blocked because he can’t actually play football and hit a ball first time

 

[Mat70s]

Got to blame the manager for this

zero excuses to be picking Rondon given what we’ve seen of him.

I think it’ll be a rather joyless season if you jump on the manager anytime something goes wrong. Everton are a work in progress with the current manager using a squad he didn’t assemble.

 

[tadpole]

Dobbin will come on at 75 when we're 2-0 down and score and score a hat trick to win it 3-2

 

[Aberblue]

We've done ok considering the team we've put out.

I'd rather have Dobbin than Rondon though. I'm not writing him off completely, just looks way off the pace.

Is Sims not on the bench?

I saw somewhere that Simms was not available.
