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

[daza_1973]

The players really blew their lines today.
Any sort of victory today would have been a clarion call to the corrupt PL and headline maker for our media, but instead as per they withered.
The champagne will be flowing at the Brunel Building tonight as our promised roar turned into a familiar squeek.

…it was a penalty, no doubt about it.

It was, but if you look at the direction change he was dragging his foot over the leg. They are the ones you play for as a forward.

 

[Mashtray]

Very disappointing there. High time we stopped messing around with these home games - even without the points deduction, our woeful home form is enough to see us in serious trouble.

And completely sick of Young and his stupid cards/fouls.

The difference between Myko and Yound is that Myko knows the limits of his ability. Young seems to think he's a better footballer

 

[Rook]

Young gave away a pen minutes into the second half and killed the game and the atmosphere and then we continued missing every chance we had

predictiable

 

[mahermi1]

He really isn't.

How could he be?

I agree.

 

[Nightman]

Missed loads of opportunities in the first, could have maybe won this had we the ability to finish but that’s what makes us a bottom half squad. Or bottom 3 after the corrupt leagues point deduction

Lower bottom half squad earning top half wages.

Played and won the penalty, it's harsh but contact is contact. Martial was never in control of what he was doing but that trailing leg

I saw the same as you. It was a bought penalty but Young was stupid

 

[blueblood]

Second goal was the absolute killer. Sucked the energy out of the crowd and players. Proper sucker punch as well, it felt like the first time they’d been in our half since they scored.

Young is done against top opposition. At least Patto has pace to get out of danger and a threat going forward to make them think twice.

 

[Vortexgaz]

McNeil has shown what he is capable of, yet since the injury at Stoke he's been below par this season. Right now, if we had other options, he should be benched.

With regard to Harrison, others may have different perspectives, however I really don't know what he offers apart from running relatively quickly.

Bar the goal on his debut, his output has been meh at best. You could argue he supports defensively, although right now we need someone who can chip

 

[NathDogg]

Never 3 better than us but self inflicted defeat.

Young should not be in the side.

Same old story - not Finishing our chances.

Referee operating under instructions from the pl - zero consistency in decisions today.

 

[Mashtray]

Seen some people blaming Dyche.

The man's substitute plan is horrible. Bit you can only coach a team to create chances and he does so I dont understand the scrutiny

 

[roy vernon]

Well that went well, I feel sorry for Dyche, I mean, how could he have been expected to know that Young is a bit too old for this game at 38 and with his legs gone? I suppose you can understand Dyche picking him week after week and leaving him on the pitch until it is too late, I mean it's not as if he's got loads of yellow cards, or been sent off, or given goals away because he is too slow to keep up with his man. Oh wait.

 

[atrottel]

There really isn't a man of the match shout

I thought Gueye played well overall and even had a decent shot again.
