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

[MikeH72]

We're so horny for a 0-0 draw here

 

[Tubey]

It is crazy how a player as absolute mince as Cleverley is allowed full license to drift about, essentially annihilating any structure we may have.
First fifteen minutes, he sticks to some sort of game plan, we play well.

He then swans out to the left / drifts a bit infield and suddenly we look shapeless.

Infuriating.

Cleverley was one of, if not our best player in that half.

 

[Kev50]

What can United possibly do to change it?
Don't go anywhere and we'll discuss it after the break

 

[DualityNSNO]

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.

I'd say the 0 shots is kind of worrying like

And you know the second part will happen.

 

[GoatJR]

Lukaku needs help. No one is there after rom has won the first ball.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Pretty much this, and overhitting everything past him - or finding his feet as seeing him pass it too short, was a little frustrating.

Hopefully it clicks in the second half!

Is Niasse on the bench? Didn't see before. Thanks in advanced

Yep

Howard, Oviedo, RFM, Mirallas, Besic, Niasse, Kone on the bench

 

[maccavennie]

Cleverley is a decent premiership player but nothing more imho. Imagine what this team would be if we had Arteta of say 2007 in it.

Arteta and Pienaar would be nice wouldn't it

 

[orly]

Cleverley was one of, if not our best player in that half.

?????

 

[Rook]

Id like to del at 10, he goes past players so easily, so surely you want him as close to the goal as possible? If he goes past one man at 10 hes got a chance to shoot at goal. Lennon is useless there

Kone for Lennon is Plan B

 

[eurosrees]

Let's try Del and Lennon on the wings, with Ross advanced, and Besic and McCarthy as holding mids.

You mean actually playing our best side with players in their correct positions? Don't be so mental.

 

[Abraders]

If our players were fit it would be boss. Look knackered in 15 minutes every game.

 

[Tubey]

?????

He was. Fantastic energy, great positioning, helped us with everything that went right for the first half hour.

He's not as eye catching as, say, Deulofeu, so people might miss what he does, but he was very very good.

 

[quasi modo]

For a manager to keep going on about how good the squad is, we seem to play an awful lot of players out of position.

 

[No8Bally]

In other news, England have the West Indies firmly on the ropes in the 20/20 final...

 

[Petit]

?????

Stones was the best player on the park by some distance mate.
