I'll give it a go as an Everton fan. Shame RAWK.meltdown left. He seemed sound.
Questions
1. Season so far for United and the best player so far?
Pretty shocking but similar to last year, except this time they look like they'll improve over the season. Worried they'll be up there taking our place if we don't pull our fingers out soon. The defence is a sieve, that'll take big money throwing at it in January if they want top 4.
Best player is Di Maria by far. He'll run the show in a lot of their games this season. Once he's learned how to tee van Persie up, that'll be pretty scary.
2. Season so far for Everton and the best player so far?
I'm more optimistic than most. We're seen as a bigger game this season for other teams I think, and having to work harder to break teams down. Larger squad is costing us a bit since tinkering hasn't worked at all, but it will when everyone is up to speed. I can see us going on a run from Lille away up to New Year. A couple of players need some help. Need Barkley back as well.
Our best player's a hard one because of all the squad changes and tinkering. Stones has been great when he's played. Naismith is Naismith. Mirallas is probably in the best form of anyone, and on average Coleman is our best player so far but he's missed games now. Some shockers too who seem to still think it's preseason and need to wake up.
3. Biggest miss for United this weekend?
Would say Rooney but he hides when they play Everton. But everyone else is there so....Vidic?
Edit: Herrera being out is massive. He pulls the strings and Naismith will be happy he's not there.
4. What you expect the result will be?
A win would be amazing but I think its come too soon. We defended well in the derby, so more of the same, with United attacking more than the RS did, and we should get some goals. A draw is quite possible, and a win isn't out of the question.
5. United Fans: What do you think of possibly playing lucrative midweek friendlies? How would it effect the team etc.
I see their logic, worried about their brand being invisible this season, plus they make a fortune out of them. I don't think they've got the squad to cope with it anymore though. Better off doing what our neighbours did last year and put all efforts into achieving a false league position come May.
