Match Thread Manchester United v Everton, KO 16:00 3rd April 2016

[Zatara]

....but we failed to create. Possession doesn't necessarily mean we are on top, you have to do something with the ball.

I couldnt believe he took deulofeu off and pit mirallas on....thought we had seen the last of him.

As for creativity, Barkley was deep (which alot of posters have been calling for) and had alot of opportunities to do something with the ball yet kept running into cul de sacs...

The thing is that without Deulofeu or Barkley we have no creative X Factor players to set up chances....we need better players...

Left wing theres a hole there in terms of another Deulofeu type winger and centre midfield again another hole....the full backs arent defensively minded enough either.

Im not opposed to changing managers etc but i simply feel that with 4 or 5 additions we would look a totally different side.

When asked if he knew how to turn things around, Jagielka replied, “I don’t know.

I think it is really scary to hear your captain make this kind of comment.

9th 1 goal loss this season. Leceister stole our supply of results and shot it right into their veins.

?

 

[TheFinnFan]

Trying to distance me self from all emotions and I have to admit this is quite interesting time from managerial perspective. ..

 

[Jamo Martinez]

I am in no way condoning the performance today, but I thought we did enough for a draw at the very least.

Defo. They were at least as bad as us.

 

[Steve Wigan]

Love the way he says the defending for the goal was not up to our standards. Under him, I'm fairly certain it was right up to our standards.

He was doing the right thing, and not criticising Coleman individually. We deserved at least a draw today, but you don't always get what you deserve. Thought Geri played well, and did some fair defending as well. Lennon had a quieter game than usual, but tried hard. Mirallas is a waste of space and I cannot understand the love in for him on here. Hope he's played his last for Everton. Play Geri till the end of the season and watch his confidence grow.MOM the skipper.

i've had it with martinez he has to go and go soon. the football we play is so frustrating and watching everton now would bore you to tears. change badly needed.

really ...frustrating yes but 3rd highest scorers now bore us to tears? Jesus you must have been dead under Moyes / smith etc.

 

[Steve Wigan]

After sixteen minutes of warming up by the way.

Barkley should have been substituted a lot earlier. Niasse got in a couple of headers and a couple of passes, but obviously needs preseason to get the Prem.

I think it's more about how we know we can attack and create and dominate, but we haven't looked convincing but for a singular performance against Chelsea. In which lukaku beat them himself.

 

[AdamEFC]

How did we look so bad against that twice this season.

 

[Billefc]

The 90 minutes shown me Lukaku can't play target man. His control, lay off and distribution is suspect. So why are we playing so?

Because Martinez is manager, simples !!! Just like all the other mind boggling stuff that goes on at our ONCE great club

You can't beat a team yourself mate, credit like when in defeat is to all Inc the manager.

 

[Petit]

Thought I´d never hear myself say this but I would´t mind Mark Hughes coming in now until the end of the season.

Also would´t have minded seeing Benitez replacing Martinez instead of going to Newcastle. Very good manager Benitez.

The sad thing is that if we had scored todsy and got a draw, playing out the same game people would still be writing the exact same thing.....our keeper had less to do than de gea and we lost due to an individual error.

We played a £250mil+ team away from home and could hve easily come away with the points

Whats the point in saying how much a team is worth, as if thats an excuse for losing? Lukaku, Stones and Barkley must be worth £150m and Leicester put their team together for about 4 quid.

 

[LAToffee]

Jags, stones,cleverley, McCarthy, baines seemed up for it and had decent games.
From an attacking point of view there is no hope. Not set up right players miles from each other. They are disillusioned and give up because they no they are isolated. Need Barkley to be better tho he needs to either shot on sight or play a decisive ball instead of turning and passing back or side ways he needs more guts to take risks because he has got ability. And that lad naisse does not look like he has anything about him at all.

Baines was poor. Shadow of the player he was.
