Match Thread Man United 4-0 Everton - Sunday 1st December - 13.30

[Paul Rideout]

Didn’t watch. Glad I didn’t. He needs to get the boot soon, the disapproval/apathy amongst the fan base is growing day by day.

Actually used his subs for once. But made no change to the system at all, just like for like subs, even though the system was completely failing him.

Tactical genius.

and didnt make any subs til we were 4 down. As you say, a genius. No one else would have thought to do that.

Just watch the highlights on MotD2. The first thing I noticed was how Tarks allowed the ball to go for the corner that led to the first goal. I know he's no spring chicken but surely a lunge to hook the ball away for a throw in wouldn't have been that difficult if he'd acted quickly enough?

After that it was an embarrassing watch, but it highlighted how desperately we need a lethal finisher.

What really pisses me off is the throwaway approach to this (and other "big team") away fixtures Everton have adopted.

"We never had a chance" seems to be the thought process instilled in the entire club over the decades.

It's this defeatist approach that is a ongoing insult to the supporters. No wonder they harangue them at train stations.

I use the word in its loosest form

Not for the train station harrassment at all but it really does pain me how man utd away is always written off. Only Moyes and Ancelotti ever seemed to take the game on with any sort of ambition

Knife to a gunfight Moyes ?

In my mind it was Moyes who started the "tradition" of writing off away games against the so called top sides.

Not of us…..

There sure is ample evidence of that happening over his long tenure but at least the team had a certain grit which we lacked before him and have struggled to find again since. I am thinking of the more entertaining matches like the 4-4, the FA cup semi and the Oviedo game, its sad that the team of today is so incredibly far off that standard

I am also struggling to choose a man of the match in all honesty.

Yes same here but being honest the stream I was watching the game on collapsed, lucky me! I only saw twenty minutes of the game so I picked O’Brien, who came on last, on the basis he didn’t have long enough to be as bad as any of the others!

The week before that 4-4 game we had played Liverpool in the semi final of the FA cup against a poor Liverpool team but threw the game away after leading 1-0 at halftime then Moyes went on the defensive and we hardly attacked in the second half, if we had shown the fight displayed in the 4-4 game,without Baines by the way, we would have walked all over Liverpool and into a rare FA cup final.

Only of Utd scoring at will

 

[Mase]

To play the same team and “tactic” that we did against brentford at home shows Dyche doesn’t have the ability. The tactic is awful on our good days, we play for a draw and hope to steal a win.
