Match Thread Everton v Manchester United : Sun 4 Dec : KO 1600

[lancs blue]

another game where we cant play until the last 20 mins. lucky to get a point as didnt look like scoring until the pen. no ideas in midfield again with the likes of cleverley passengers and lukaku clearly not up for it. 4-5-1 aint workin and this season is turning into getting games over and done with.

Midfield was still clueless, but when Bolasie went off the aimless hoofing got less and less.

Not pinning it all on Bolasie, but Del was more fluid and agile than him (who just runs in a straight line), and also more intelligent.

The last thing Koeman hasn't done is drop Bolasie and at least try something new going forward.

Still a problem with Mirallas.

The Clev was a big mistake and proof of Koeman's negativity. Barkley should've played at his or Mirallas' expense.

To me theres been minor things wrong with our midfield 3, but the biggest problem has been the front 3 that he can address now Bolasie maybe out

Undefeated at home though lads

yep,next game at home is the last league team to beat us,Arsenal

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Holgate and Deulofeu should be the right side now. The limited time they were there together today we actually looked more solid.

deulofeu was useless. bad crosses, losing the ball, offside position. i like him and really want him to do well, but this season he has been very poor.

 

[oliverwri]

baines you absolute beauty

 

[Ernie]

'utter weapon' ?

Anyone can see Holgate and Deulofeu together is the way forward.

Remind me what bolasie did today? Hes shocking.

I don't think he needed to insult you there mate

Hope you use the report function

Doesn't hide the horrendous football on offer, 70 minutes of pure dross

ofc. but saying we were lucky to draw is imo then wrong. it got evened up and a draw was fair

deulofeu was useless. bad crosses, losing the ball, offside position. i like him and really want him to do well, but this season he has been very poor.

He passed the ball on the ground, put in a couple of crosses and got back to help Deulofeu.

What did bolasie and coleman do on the right?

Holgate + deulofeu

 

[hktoffee]

Yip gives us a lot more options

Whenever we are losing we have two upfront and it produced the best result.

Del was pointless tonight, boalise should start over him everytime

from both sides Chris.

We were crap but unlucky to be behind. One of them.

Once the subs happened, we looked much better. Bar Del.

Maybe if our fans wouldn't wait until we score to make any noise the play may be passionate early in a game:take note for the derby game.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

60th minute onwards - our best in ages.

De Gea kept them in it. We weren't great but that speaks for itself.

Their goal - from a stupid mistake. Other than that they created one other clear chance when Herrera hit the bar. Those are the facts.

We actually looked up for it for once and Enner Valencia should be starting next week.

He came in, pressed united back and opened up the space. Kev also, was excellent in that second-half and a special mention to Williams and Holgate.

I don't care if Deulofeu never plays for us again though.

Did more than Bolaise mate.

Surely anyone can see Holgate and Deulofeu was a better pairing than Coleman + Bolasie.

Injuries worked for us.

 

[Ernie]

Bolasie injury a blessing in disguise?
