Man Utd v Everton. 10th Feb @ 16.00.

[Brownie]

Nothing at stake?

United were playing to go 12 points clear and we were playing to go above Arsenal and within 3 points of third.

We've got a hell of a lot at stake.

Wouldn't know it from watching the game though would you, looked like a friendly.

 

[Brennan]

Mirallas' deliveries just weren't good enough, his future is up front or just behind.

Correct answer. We still need another wide player.

No true. A lack of urgency from Everton, it was like we had consigned ourselves to defeat before we had even kicked off.

 

[Brownie]

Only way we could win was if one or both of Anichebe and Marouane crushed someone up front, didn't happen.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

A non-event as two sides with nothing at stake played out ninety minutes.

Never a wasted post from Brownie...

It was almost as if Man Utd did an 'Everton' styled performance on us.

They pushed us right up the pitch, barely giving us a seconds rest, whereas we stood off them till they crossed the halfway line, and even then it was half hearted.

Yeah, kind of reminded me of WBA away.

two wide players, then.

....United meant business today, they realised a win would be significant because of yesterdays result. Not flamboyant, totally professional job done on us. We weren't helped by the injury to Distin, after praising Neville I thought he was poor today. Jagielka MoM for me. The little bit of stardust we are missing is down to us not being able to compete on the transfer front.

 

[toffeejack]

The whole 'nobody wins at OT' argument misses the point. The performance was far more annoying than the actual result.

sorry it was a wasted journey mate. at least we threw the kitchen sink and more at them three up front and all that when two goals down

Yup.

Said by the 89th it was a thoroughly professional job United did today. Big marker to win fairly comfortably against a good side

 

[scratchnsurf]

All so depressingly inevitable.

Never won at OT under Moyes
United won 19 of their last 21 at home (I think).
United not lost a game refereed by Halsey in ten years.

What did we think was going to happen?

I feel like the team is tired an stale this is what we get for not investing in the transfer window. I see Leroy played 90 mins again, ye he's finished that fella.
