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

[Tubey]

We have some proper crying arse supporters.
That was a decent first half, we are at old Trafford and have been the better team here.

Agree with that for the most, but it was an even half all told - wouldn't say we were definitely the better side, but certainly nothing to moan about.

I will moan if/when the sulking Belg is brought on or the 60% fit Niasse for Deulofeu.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Thought we got better as it went on, but for our good work we looked lacklustre upfront in my eye. Lukaku not getting on the end of anything.

Aye, Rom looks tired and Blind dominating him atm.

 

[Azza]

2 big things screaming out at me there, 1. How badly unfit the entire squad look, and 2. The time and space United have in the midfield and on the wings. We've done ok without really doing anything in the final 3rd. I'd take a point here.

Taken you how many games to see how unfit the players look and how much space we give teams in midfield? lol

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Team I've wanted to see for ages.

Shame - didn't set up as I expected.

Barkley too deep, Cleverley drifting left, Lennon central... and is McCarthy even playing?

/sigh.

 

[FisherEFC]

Would swap Ross and Cleverly round and move Lennon out wide we have no influence in that no 10 area.

 

[DanEFC92]

No chances created. Final ball has been crap.

 

[Blue Cheese]

Utter nonsense saying they look knackered ridiculous statement

 

[quasi modo]

Pressed brilliantly 1st 10 minutes, then sat off and invited pressure from United.
Our football is really poor, and we seem to keep giving the ball back to United.
Lennon surely would be more effective down a wing and we look poor down our left as Cleverley drifts inside and offers no support to Baines.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

What about Barry?

IMO, McCarthy should be able to do that role himself.

Should being the key word there.

 

[sageyefc]

Ross needs to take more care with his passing and Rom needs to switch on a bit more

 

[Petit]

Blimey, started great but became a seriously turgid game, which suited United.

We have got to improve the service to Lukaku second half.

Usual suspect was horrendous but the rest fairly decent

Who's that?

 

[b-rad]

Some poor long balls to Lukaku, other than that fairly positive.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Bring Besic on here.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Lukaku a bit isolated, we need to push Barkley further forward second half.

I know I know, I just thought maybe they might have all had an epiphany over the international break lol
