Match Thread- Manchester United vs Everton- Final Preseason Friendly

[AndyC]

It’s ok I have been embarrassed by this shambles of a club for a long time now.

Well I for one am sick to death of being embarrassed by this club.

Going into a season without a striker but got about 20 knob heads who can’t string a pass together.

Positives; could and should have come away with at least two goals there:

• Townsend chance when he rattled the crossbar

• Iwobi squaring for Grey, just beyond his reach inside the 6-yard box

• Foul on Davies inside the box should’ve been a penalty

• Godfrey header in the first half from Digne’s delivery

Rafael is calling Rondon right now.

NEA 2021 version - saw there was a match today at 12.45 thought 'great', then utterly forgot. Just remembered and came onto GOT.

4-0.

NEA.

There should be enough ability and quality in this squad to be ok.
It’s their attitude and lack of application which is why they struggle.

Coleman rally cry incoming

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

I thought this Rafael character was supposed to make us defensively solid? That was the worst of Martinez style performances. Digne marking Maguire beggars belief

Coleman rally cry incoming

I hope not, I really and truly hope not.

 

[Milkman]

Some proper anarchists in our fanbase that'd rather see us relegated with Benitez than see him succeed.

 

[MikeH72]

Negatives: got pasted 4-0 and were never in the game.

Oh and also

Rafael is calling Rondon right now.

 

[Daytripper]

I'm not sure that we could pay him off right now. Besides, Moshiri knew it was a bad choice and did it anyway. He'll hang on longer than necessary unless there's a real danger of going down.

Then the fans will be blamed for not welcoming him in the first place. Text book character assassinations without taking any responsibility themselves. Goes on far too long here.

People say there is a toxic problem here, look at the dross served up! The real standout is you have pundits watching us saying how poor we are in matches then when there is a change it’s “what do the fans want” “Goodison can be toxic”. It’s disingenuous asf.

Fume levels reaching over load in here

Imagine what the situation is when Soton turn us over.

 

[witchdoc187]

lots of things for people to moan about today. Happy forum

The crying over a pre season friendly with no DCL, Richarlison, Kean with a wide player shoved up top against the 2nd best team in the league who have spent £120 million+ this window compared to our £1.5 million spend.

add in Coleman/Iwobi still in the starting 11 amazing the brass neck for anyone blaming the manager and demanding him sacked lol

Nobody is "blaming the manager". You have gone so far the other way that you are know defending him from stuff that isn't even there!

People will want him sacked because they didn't want him in the first place but that won't be happening (yet anyway).

People are allowed to "cry" over a 4-0 humping with no redeemable moments regardless of it being a pre season game or not. It was awful.

• Iwobi squaring for Grey, just beyond his reach inside the 6-yard box

• Foul on Davies inside the box should’ve been a penalty

• Godfrey header in the first half from Digne’s delivery

To be fair,
-a quality player would have never missed townsend’s chance.
-iwobi put too much weight on his pass (again lacking end product as always)
-was never a penalty.

sorry but we just can’t dress this up.
I didn’t think Gray and Townsend did that badly. Two of our more lively players I’d say alongside Digne who did okay.
