Match Thread Manchester United v Everton - Waffle, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Dharma]

Only just realised, been spelling our name wrong all this time.
It's actually Everton 0.

 

[Zezti]

United were garbage and still coasted to a 2-0 win.

I've never seen a more impotent everton attack. Its so disheartening what has happened to us. I don't know whether to get angry or cry.

 

[DualityNSNO]

I'd agree if United were half decent.

They are okay at best, we made them look great - first half and early second any attack resulted in a chance for them and they had more of the ball. Past that they just shut up shop and let us try to play, which everyone knows we can't and don't know how to do with Dyche.

We could have played until midnight and still not scored, it is so difficult to watch Everton these days, there is just no enjoyment in it. 11 without a win now is it? Just a matter of time until the teams around us pick up a few points. I find it more and more difficult to believe that we are capable of winning an match. Anyway Branthwaite pick of the bunch for me.

Wonder what's the longest we've gone without a win in a season?

Failed to score a goal in the league games, now eleven this season, is that another Everton first for us ?

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I mean xG calculates the chances themselves so we've created enough for a goal, brilliant from 20 shots or something that.

This is the problem with xG
Oh yeah we were ‘expected’ to have scored because we’ve had loads of 0.05 chances so add him all up and one should’ve gone in…
That’s not how odds work

 

[BlueHutch]

Just another Everton weekend then, eh?

Sound.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Look let's be real. Even the most die hard wasn't expecting much from the game. Most expected us to lose or at best get a draw. Dyche made changes early because he had to but like I said we need to change this. Harrison isn't good enough and McNeil had so many chances to put the ball away or play a decisive pass and couldn't. Actually like Gomes in midfield. Dobbo tried to look lively, and if DCL switched on could've had an open net to tap the ball into. If you look at his reaction, it's all "oooooou so close" - Haaland would've look around to see if there was an oppo to get another chance. Sigh. Who knows where they're taken them for this "break"? Hopefully Dubai - seemed to work wonders for Arsenal.

 

[NorthernBlue]

We going to need to get things sorted for the big 5 games we have. 12 points needed from them.

 

[charlie atkins]

Dear premier league.
Don't bother with point deductions, we will save you a job and do it for you

 

[GoldenToffee]

Lost 5 nil over 2 games to an absolutely bang average team

Players and management should be embarrassed. Absolutely no standards at this club

 

[sdk]

It was a disappointing result and certainly many here have worn their security blankets threadbare, but take some consolation in the fact that both of Utd's goals came from penalty kicks gifted to them by Everton, so it's kind of like Everton scored against themselves twice.

Everton scoring twice = clear improvement. Excelsior.

That's why xG has nothing to do with odds? It's a cumulative statistic to show you the flow of the game, looking at the flat number means nothing - how was it in 15 min segments will show you basically who was better for what period of time, etc.

It's also convenient for people to say when defending toothless performances, I've found.

Decent result that. We can't score, we're always going to concede, but kept our GD deficit to a reasonable minimum!

Onwards and downwards!
