Match Thread Manchester United v Everton - Waffle, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Bwana]

Wouldn't mind but by the sounds of it Utd are terrible too.

Totally unsurprising to find us losing as I check on this game for the first time. 2 penalties though? Will do further reading to see if they were deserved.

Stonewalls. Both of them.

Given the proximity of Finch Farm to the airport, it's a miracle our forwards haven't taken out an easyJet or two with their shooting.

Predictions:

• United to have a 5/10 game (I.e. they'd lose this fixture most times if they play like this)
• CB Lindelof to play LB and look like Maldini against Harrison.
• Mainoo to look twice the player of Onana.
• Everton to have more attempts on goal.
• Everton to receive first booking.
• Manchester United to be awarded a penalty.
• 0-0 at half time.
• Manchester United to win by at least two goals.

I think at least 5 of those 8 points come true today.

7 of the 8 like.

I overslept, checked the phone, saw we were losing 2-0 down and went back to bed.

Oh well, at least w/ daylight savings time Everton can only hurt me 1 less hour this weekend.

Top blue

Can everyone saying our players are too crap to play a possession based style stop that now given the last 10 minutes, we play long ball on the managers instruction.

This side is perfectly capable of playing that way.... Di Zerbi would have this team in the top half.

Absolute nonsense, our quality of passing is poor, no cutting edge at all, which is why for all the possession we’ve done nothing

So basically it's going to be all about Luton losing. Because this lot won't be proactive and save themselves.

What is he meant to do get on the pitch and put it in the net himself

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and hoping for a different result

 

[Rita_Poon]

Young coming on. likely godfrey

Yeah cuz every team knows how to set up against us - gives us the ball and watch 3 players stand around doing eff all as we don't move up as a team with the ball, hoof to a striker with no support, repeat.

 

[Melchizedek]

Young coming on. That'll get us back in it.

Well the question is could they be better if they had some decent coaching? I reckon they could be.

 

[Cels]

Dyche bringing Young on for his pace and calmness.

 

[koma]

The reality is that slowly but surely we're going down. This all started years ago. Maybe it's for the better. This club needs a complete reset and I dont see that happening if we somehow, yet again, manage to stay up.

Don’t worry. Here comes Ashley Young to change it around.
