Match Thread Manchester United v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[AndyZ]

What a disappointment. Affording the opposition far too much time in the final third. We need to press more and take care of the ball when we win it. James has been shocking. Need much better from him in the second half if we are to get anything from this game. By comparison, Andre Gomes has been a revelation the past couple games. There was a time whenever he challenged for the ball, I simply expected a foul. Now he is winning it well and looks so calm and cool in possession.

Outclassed again by United.

As Neville said in commentary, we dont look like we have a clue whether we're playing on the counter or just possessing the ball and denying United.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

Yes we can.

I didn't realize you were Irish Tipp
Blue. What part of Ireland?

Gary Snivell is unfortunately loving this, which is quite possibly as bad as losing in and of itself.

 

[Richard Alex]

Both goals nobody closing down. Defensively we are not working as a unit. Kean very poor for the first goal
All the space in the world to do what they want from crosses and shots. Basic defending is stop the source.
James very poor. In fact he thinks he’s playing in red. Every pass he gives the ball away. I’d hook him at HT.

 

[Steve EFC]

Our midfield isn’t anywhere near as good as their midfield. Simple as that. Oh and Holgate is playing crap.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Dismal performance. Huge next 45 minutes. Need Digne, James and Doucoure to step up and start looking forward and take some responsibility.
If this continues, we will lose 4 or 5 nil and the season is over. Huge team talk from Carlo right now needed.
Please get Mina on for Keane too. Won’t happen I know.

 

[R.Reddington]

I’d take the Fa cup this season and move on. Sort the squad out for next season and go for it.

Now for one of Carlo's superb HT inspirational talks

See I think he can, Ole will just be nice one lads, while Catlo has the hair drier out

 

[Amw79]

Started well, but once they started pressing we kept losing the ball.

Always the same when teams press us. Need to be brave, use your body, keep the ball, win a foul. Could be a tough 2nd half this.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Fred well into our half walking forward with the ball,sums it up.

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

I give up, it's bad enough having to watch every match on telly but when we can't or won't even try and win a game I just can't be arsed

 

[BlueStevie35]

I’d bring on King and Delph, let’s see if their hungry.

Be a hit and hope from here either way.

Those two things don’t go together

 

[sheedys left foot]

Boring, negative, lacking ambition, no belief, no desire, no chance.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Both their goals - how passive we are off the ball.

First one, Digne/Gomes - no press at all. Give them all the time in the world to pick a cross.
Second one. Madness - how's he being given that amount of time?

It's a flaw understanding who is supposed to cover it too. They're all looking at each other.
