Match Thread Manchester United v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Stutheblue]

We’re just not quite good enough yet.

But we will be.

I like it. Short and sweet....and I think (and hope) we will be too. It just proved it today that we're still short in certain areas against certain opposition.

I thought we were pretty good today. Take the penalty for them out and the subsequent rebound it's a tight game on chances and take out that late break they had because we were opened up chasing it probably edged to us. Tough to be mad at the team or manager. Time to get VAR in though. That kind of stuff is a joke and Palace were robbed today by it as well.

I'd say only Coleman really struggled which is tough to see but he just doesn't have the technique for this style of play. His left foot is awful and prevents him from moving the ball where it needs to go quickly. Not sure Kenny is a better option but teams are targeting that area now.

thoughts on pickford today @davek

We got beat. He ket two goals in.

NEA.

We will lose every away game to SKY6 teams forever. I love Everton ...but betting against them has only made me money

This is Everton! When we start to belive that we can punch above our weight, we collapse! Walcott was awful, as was Coleman. Those who can stand tall and sleep well is Keane, Pickford, Sigurdsson and Kouma. The rest was crap. Good night!

But we will be.

Amen brother.

The second half of this season is going to be dy-NO-mite!

Mark my words!

We will win at Goodison next weekend...bet heavily

you forgot Gomes, our best outfield player.

Sure this has been done to death but I’ve not read.

What’s the deal with retrospective diving bans now? Has it been scrapped?

Most I can tell , Niasse is the only one to ever get banned for it, and there was clear contact.

Last I saw it mentioned it was just “Everton , that”

That sounds like hope. Everton has taught me not to.

 

[croatian blues]

For a few games don't see anything of Walcot, second goal is all his when he can't see Seamus is all alone with two MU players on his side. Maybe to much respect for MU and Richarlison should go on the wing earlier. Pickford was great, penalty was given by referee, but it's good to see we are even on stats at Old Trafford. Hope, with some time together and few more players, this team could really be something.

We’re a ‘best of the rest’ team...bog average. That reality will never change

 

[Kenshin]

To sum the game up.

Someone said on here early on that martial against Coleman would really rewards for him. He scored over on that side.

Someone said on here we would get a pen also to balance up . We did

Predictable result in the end but much better showing than in recent years so plenty to be positive about.

 

[Vegas Toffee Girl]

The refs are against us every time we play at OT, so we need to play twice as hard just to get a tie and even more so for a win.

At least we didn't get hammered today by Barcelona with a Suarez hat-trick like Real Madrid did.

We were easily as good as Arsenal and United. The results didn't go our way but performance wise we were not overmatched at all. I don't think we can stick with City or Chelsea but then again who across Europe really can?
