Match Thread Everton 2-2 Man United. Sat Feb 22nd. 12.30.

[Kraken]

I couldn’t be happier. The minimum effort and performance we expect from an Everton team.

Call me soft, but I don't want us winning on cheap penalties as do those rats across the park

I agree, if you can stay up then do especially 2-0 up having said that I think if he had gone down I think that’s a pen all day

 

[Ring master]

Great half. A cert pen right on HT if Doucoure went down. Need to keep it going. Not sure what their keeper is doing on 2nd goal

Would like to see Alcaraz and Timmy come on a little earlier here.

Beto has the turning circle of an oil tanker.

Especially when he smashed that goal in...

 

[DualityNSNO]

The lankiest and most unlikely duo of creativity and goals I've ever seen, but if it works - it works.

Great half finally got the wifi code at goodison

Was it ‘goodriddancedyche’

 

[Drico]

First 15 mins of the second half crucial. Need to stay calm and ride out whatever attempted comeback they throw at us, then put our foot down and make good changes to smash them by another couple.

And - above all - no second booking for O'Brien, in any circumstances.

THAT is United's way back into this game and we will be idiots if we hand it to them.

 

[Mase]

Big half coming up, I’m glad they’re playing towards gwladys.

 

[Sharpattack]

Fear really is a motivating factor. The emergence of Alcaraz has scared the bejasus out of Doucoure resulting in his best performance in years.

 

[DanEFC92]

Great half. Keep it up, and don't let them back in it at all.

 

[Drico]

The lankiest and most unlikely duo of creativity and goals I've ever seen, but if it works - it works.

Thank God McNeil isn't there to, erm, stand to attention, too...

The one on Garner earlier, too. But just touched my purist heart if players are so hungry that they just continue playing and fighting.

 

[Eggs]

….terrific, just terrific. Doucoure and Gueye outstanding.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Lovely pic, Thomas!
