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

[Preki]

So we only drew due to manure’s mistakes? Why doesn’t Osman chip in and stick up for us?

He's tidy but very meek. Much like his playing days.

Olsen desperately unlucky to slip for the third but that should have never been a free kick to united.

 

[davek]

if it was Pickford people would be all over it, so agreed De Gea had to come out there.

He was just terrible. Once Keane flicks it on he had to be off his line and clearing that.

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti, speaking to Sky Sports

I think we started well and were a little bit shy in the first half. After that the game was in control. We would not have deserved to lose. We had opportunities in counter-attacks in the first half but were not clinical.

Manchester United are really strong in midfield. The idea was to put one more player in there. Rodriguez had a calf tight but he could play but not all the game. Hr scored a fantastic goal and I took him off to avoid problems.

I am really proud. The spirit is really good. We have a good run in this moment. We have to keep this spirit high. We showed that at 3-2 we did not want to lose.

There isn’t [a better time to score]. Even still I ran off celebrating and didn’t know if I could fully get into the celebration because of VAR. It was close. I knew I didn’t handle it but didn’t know if it was offside.

I didn’t even see he [goalkeeper Robin Olsen] was up. It was just about getting in the right position. I knew I wouldn’t get first contact, it was about trying to get second contact.

I believe we’re capable of much more. Credit to us to show the spirit to get back into the game.

We hung in there and I feel like we deserved that point.

Frustrating when we get back level from 2-0 down and then let them get the lead again from a set-piece. We had to stay disciplined and then smell the goal at the end and put it in.

I was just waiting for a nick. I knew I wouldn't get first contact so it is ready for the second one. I knew I could get there before the keeper.

We had a change of system few minutes into the second half. It allowed us to commit more bodies forward. We let them have too much of the ball. It was about picking the tempo up and getting after people.

We are capable of so much more. Every team we play we can compete and eat them. The spirit we showed to get back in the game is what we are about."

Stupid post show here spent the last 20 mins talking about Pickford v Olsen... Jesus Christ.

 

[Lineker]

Expected it to be disallowed, no idea why, but it wouldn't have surprised me in the slightest.

I expected it to be disallowed for offside, but maguire kept everyone on

 

[Efctrueblue]

Love godfrey puts it in every game give him a few years could be a absolute beast

When Cavani knocked it past him and tried to run him down the line i just laughed

 

[Bullens Rd]

That finish is going to spur our confidence with an upcoming derby. Can we carry this to the Pit to claim a win?

 

[Dunc's elbow]

In my euphoria I immediately voted DCL as mom, I was hasty. Davies edged it from Gomes, just.

 

[Verbal Kint]

DeGea was horrific, thank you

 

[Librarian]

Assist and a goal from Doucoure and an all round decent display, albeit subbed, I’d have Doucoure MOM

 

[jinkyali]

A measure of how far we've come.
Score 3 at old Trafford and feel like we've not played at our best.

 

[hallamblue]

We'll need to play better, but Man Utd are currently better than the rs, so you never know.

 

[MockBu4]

why can’t we have nice things

it seems we do have some mate .
honestly being Evertonian for 10 years now, I don't really remember such comebacks. Hope this is the dawn of the new era lol

Am I watching MUTV? Well done Ossie for sticking up for us there though
