Match Thread Man Utd V Everton. Sun 3 Aug - 22:00 BST

[Thomasc]

Only caught the 2nd half. Midfield looked like it had some bite in it for once.

Seems like 3 at the back is being seriously considered, but I thought we lost control of the game once we switched to it.

What's the deal with Onyago? He's had a lot of minutes for someone who's been sold and already played for another team

It’s only being considered at the moment because Branners is out and we still don’t have a right back alternative to Jake.

 

[Only-Blue-toffees]

Much better. Utd lucky with that pen call. We should have won 3-1. Need new players for sure just need to get a move on really don’t want to be waiting until deadline day that’s for sure

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Put Branthwaite and a decent right winger in that first half 11 and we wouldn’t be far off looking ok.

And Grealish.

 

[maccavennie]

Better in patches. Beto and Alcaraz went off (both were poor) but we looked worse without them.

Squad isn't big, lacking depth, lacking quality.

See what this week brings

 

[Rita_Poon]

An improvement.

Ok.

 

[arch stanton]

Commentators trying to get Barry a reputation as a diver already.

even though their player was in no need of an excuse to go down when taarkowski touched him for their pen. The bias is incredible

According to Le Saux Amorim will be the happiest of the two managers though mate

He is - happy they got out with a draw!

In fairness I thought he said we'd have been the happier

 

[Ragnar]

I know it’s very early days, but Aznou needs to get in our starting line up as soon as possible. We need players that want the ball, and want to make forward runs. Him and NDiaye on the left could cause some real trouble.

Beto been told to carry the fight. Not sure he's got a full season of that in him.

 

[matty1878]

Sorry, I know he hasn't been given any opportunities, but I just can't see anything in Barry to get me excited.
I would love to have to eat humble pie, but I'm not seeing it.

the same was said about BETO.

 

[witchdoc187]

How on earth le saux is

Feel like I can't fully judge Barry until he's actually played in a starting lineup rather than as sub among 6 others, including weird mismatched formation changes.

Probably needs more than 60 minutes playing time in friendlies to adapt to the English game

 

[Kraken]

A few more positives than negatives in that game.

I thought Garner was the engine of most of our decent play. I wanna see more of that.

 

[Benno]

before my 3 positives Fernandes is a disgrace, you don’t do try and do that pre season to a fellow pro.

1) Pickford remains absolutely brilliant.
2) liked Mylolenko in a back 3 and showed he is versatile
3) Garner showed what he can be if he applies himself like that. Best player on the pitch for me.

Decent performance and showed exactly what we need.
