Match Thread Man Utd v Everton. Saturday Oct 2nd.12.30 pm

[Eggs]

….terrific effort despite the doubters saying it was a lost cause. Had Davies not been scared of taking the chance on we could be celebrating a maximum.

Doucoure and Allan forming a good partnership and we carry threat with two wide players. Such a shame both strikers are out because we are a player light up top.

Gray worries defenders and did terrific for the goal, Townsend took it so well but Doucoure has to be MoM not only for the assist but simply for being everywhere.

 

[Street end man]

Funny thing is I'd not have backed either DCL or Richie to slot Townsends chance.

 

[Toffeelover]

How did ancelotti get Doucoure so wrong


What a big boss he his

Like a lot of things.

 

[coleman=quality]

Good shape and work rate towards the end could see players were tired but kept going got to praise Benitez for the team cohesion.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Doucs, Gray, Mina- take a bow gents.

 

[Tramps_mate]

Unlucky not to win that in the end. But I'm happy with a point as I expected a spanking in the end..

 

[cooperman]

Think Davies is getting a hard time as poo as he is, if the goal was onside we’re praising him for not being greedy and his vision to play it across, should of hit it but who’s to say he’d of even hit the target.

Exactly. Mina also liable for not timing his run.

Still, can't fault the commitment shown from all today.

 

[Sadken]

Rafael has got a great team spirit going, once we get all the players back we are going to be very hard to beat .

 

[roy vernon]

That was a very good performance, a draw was the least we deserved. One thing Benitez has improved is the team spirit. When United scored, I thought we would crumble fair play to the team for a great comeback.

You would have to think now that when DCL and Richarlison back we have got a chance of a decent top 7 season.

Doucoure MOTM for me, but, Grey, Allan and Gordon were all very good. They all played well today, but I still think Rondon looks like one of those fat Sunday league centre forwards, just enough about him to show he used to be able to play, but not fit enough or quick enough to really make a difference.

 

[nsno-chris]

Bizarre how many of the occult had convinced themselves a defeat would be acceptable.

Hang your head in shame, some Evertonians you lot are

 

[Toffeelover]

Doucs, Gray, Mina- take a bow gents.

And Townsend.

100% agree, impressed with the work without the ball too.

 

[sladen90]

Hey! We're top of the league!

Erm no we aren't?

 

[Bob Latchford]

What an outstanding performance. The football was good, created chances, defended well, fight, desire, commitment. Great to see. Very unlucky not to win it at the end. All this with some of our best players out. Like him or not Benitez is getting a tune out of the team.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

I just read that Ronaldo refused to shake Andro's hand on the tunnel. What a sore loser, I guess he didn't like Townsend's goal celebration
