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

No.

He's our only goal-scorer.

You do not sell your only goal-scorer.

He isn't a Costa type. He isn't a work-horse and that's frustrating.

But what you need to do is play to his strengths.

Costa, for example, always has support.

Rom hardly does - until we lump Valencia on.

I'd rather have someone that wants to play for us.

Valencia, Holgate, Gana, Coleman and Mirallas were + for me.

Missed opportunity, United were DIRE in second half and we really should have pushed more.

Unfortunately, De Gea wasnt.

You really must have a very limited understanding of football if that's the only metric you're going by.

His off the ball work and movement was a completely different level to Bolasie and even Mirallas on the right. He completely balanced out our attack and was responsible for us working effectively in the final third in the last 20 minutes, because United finally got stretched by good movement.

I've always loved the term 'off the ball work'....yet I much prefer players who do brilliant 'on the ball work' cross the ball a couple of dozen times, have a few good shots, and maybe score the odd goal.........

 

[peteblue]

Unfortunately, De Gea wasnt.

He never is. He's saved them a few times against us.....

 

[roydo]

He never is. He's saved them a few times against us.....

Indeed. The one from Kev today was just stupidly good.

Anyone know who sky gave MOTM

Anyway, in the end got a point - the least we deserved.

Hopefully, if this side can prove they aren't a bunch of bottlers, it's a turning point.

Very much this.

This squad is better than many on here give it credit for being.

Those lads today showed that they do indeed have bottle as they got up off the canvas and punched their way back into the fight.

This is why I keep saying the manager needs to step up has game and manage these players in a way that makes the most of them in the here and now.

Sorry if it's been mentioned before, but just looking on the BBC and that utter bafoon robbie savage said it wasn't a pen. Is he for real? Said gana 'made the most of it' - gana the guy who saved their player a red card earlier in the game by not 'making the most of it'

 

[bag a yoko]

Anyone know who sky gave MOTM

Gana I think. Noone else close really.

Now that is someone who needs their hard drives seizing, the horrible welsh deviant.

 

[Bilko]

did Jose put on Fellani just to try and rise us all up I wonder,

nah I don't think so, you could tell they were shutting up shop and he probably thought felli's size would help defend balls in the box

Hope so. Backfired big time if so

Yeah but he's just saying that to get people going. That's his job.
