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

[McMagicT]

I don't think that I have seen an Everton team in the last 30 years, where every player played for the
good of the team. We even had a team willing to fight with our fists (I loved it!) We even have an after
dinner speaker & super-player in Townsend.

Great point hope most of squad get bit of rest and we can come back fit and rested

 

[jceverton]

True but why is he getting the nod. I would rotate two new lads for the ultimate experience and who knows.

Best way to get fit is to play, calculated decision from manager based on young very inexperienced players as only other options. If Simms had been fit from start of season might've played him given his form at Blackpool.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Desperately want to see Simms this year in the first team.

 

[Johnnytotal]

I'm not his biggest fan but he hasn't played for 4 months and clearly isn't match fit. Can't judge him properly until he is.

Yep by all accounts he has been injured from day 1 and is playing through it.... Cant knock him after hearing that.

Any other player would sit it out.

Maybe I have missed them, but there seems to be an uncanny silence from kev rat and lord Bucketbonce. They must be stunned and resentful that Rafael's depleted team did so well today.

 

[Nosidoog]

It’s strange but, when Everton went behind, the team never looked like they didn’t believe that they could get back into the game. It’s great to see - particularly when it comes true, which reinforces the belief again. Great way to head into the international break.

There out getting their Benitez tattoos done...will be along soon. Hopefully share some pics

 

[blueloon]

In fairness you can understand why he bemoans their lack of a cutting edge, starting off with Cavani and Greenwood, last resort trying out that Ronaldo guy and Sancho , whereas we had the advantage of playing Rondon for the full 90 mins . ( I’m now worried we took Rondon off early and I didn’t notice)

I've often said that using a fish as your WiFi is never going to work.

Not aowed to use the similar word but guess I tea'd you up for that one Mr Typhoo.

 

[larbert toffee]

That Carp WiFi is rubbish....should have listened on Dab radio

Not allowed to use the similar word so thought I'd get away with that one, obviously not ? however using fish puns is a little sole destroying as far as I'm concerned.

 

[windymiller]

I thought Doucoure was great today but I am a little surprised he's top of the poll for MOTM as I thought that everything positive, in an attacking sense, we did went through Gray. He gets my vote.

 

[Leylo]

Great result performance. This shows we finally have a team with balls. No one goes hiding, hope we keep it going.

Exactly my thoughts
Credit must go to the manager

 

[GoldenToffee]

Regardless of Davies' ineptitude today which clearly cost us three massively important points, just look at the striking options available to both teams - it's a great point in the end, as bittersweet as the feeling is now.

United:
Greenwood
Martial
Cavani
Ronaldo
Sancho

Us:
Rondon

And to think, we actually should have won the game without it being smash and grab.
