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

[HalfTimeSayers]

Maybe miles apart but Utd aren't a decent side
We didn't press their dodgy defence enough

They are a poor United side that recently have found a way to get excellent results. Manager and players constantly mocked and criticised on the back pages, lots of injuries, kids being given debuts, but quietly winning more points than anyone over the last couple of months. Didn’t bat an eyelid at the atmosphere, which was always going to be the case.

Pretty grim to watch, and that will be their managers downfall in the long run.

Whatever you say....

We all have our views and opinions. Is that not so...?

Tbh I couldn't give a toss about them.

I never want to see Ashley Young in a blue shirt ever !! Dyche has zero game management ….. subs and tactics piss poor

Going one down after 2 minutes from a ridiculous worldie was enough I think

It really did knock the stuffing out of any chance of our metaphorical sails being full. That'll be a goal they'll show on repeats for decades to come.

Yep. We should have been comfortable by half time though. Did not take chances but we will.

How we came in 0-1 at half time was unbelivable. They had one shot on goal and it was a worldie. Everton that.
We were rubbish in the second half, but 3-0 was flattering to the opposition. We will have easier opposition that those lot. COYB.

Don't wish to upset you but, we've said that previously when referring to Fulham, Wolves, Sheff Utd and Luton... and we took a combined 1 point from those four games.

Games can be deceiving - its the beauty of football. Sometimes you expect to beat a crap side and they put in a stonking performance. Like i say we will have easier opposition than Man Utd today, could be Arsenal, could be Burnley or perhaps Man U at Old trafford.... - there will always be teams that dont turn up or a rare chance that we play a blinder.

We did, but outside of that have put some good results together. We had a good cushion from the bottom three that has been removed via the corrupt institution of which we are a part, helped form in fact. There are plenty of games left to rebuild that gap twice over. We will.

 

[ForestBlue]

Whilst the general play isn't exactly inspiring we do create a fair number of chances.

However, we've got to start converting a much higher percentage of all of these chances we keep on creating otherwise we really will be in a relegation scrap come January.

We could easily have had 2 or even 3 today so to come away with zero goals tells its own story of where are problems are.

 

[Lloydaldo11]

I've played the game at semi pro level and in every league and every game in the world that was a pen. Clear as day and only a myopic biased idiot would dispute it. Run along.

In your own head mate

 

[rochdaleblue]

When we get some signings in to inspire the fans, the likes of Danjuma, Beto and Chermiti, all who cant even start, certainly doesnt inspire me to us driving up the table.

Good point mate. Out of the players we’ve signed, only young has been a regular starter and the jury is out as to whether he’s improved us.

I know he wasn't available today but Beto needs a run of games.

I like Doucoure, but we could experiment and see him replace Gueye in the middle and Beto playing in behind Calvert Lewin.

Fortune favours the brave.

 

[ForestBlue]

Different formations and players depending on who we are playing doesn't seem to a Dyche thing alas.
