Man United vs Everton - SS1 - Match Thread

Lord TSC

Can see United winning today. Type of team (midtable, nothing to play for) we've done well against this season :P

GreNoLi

Everton less encumbered away from home.

great attempt from martial

Mars Bar

Super football from Lingard and Martial. Should have been a corner though.

Mars Bar

Blind does some absolutely daft things at times. There was no need to be giving the ball away there.

FYP

Lord TSC

Smalling, wtf.

Korat

Everton the better team so far. Utd don't look like a team chasing a CL place.

sky88

Lingard in the middle and mata on the right just makes no sense whatsoever

Corner from blind....fail

Smalling doing a good job keeping lukaku quite so far

Some good utd football here

Korat

Zzzzzz

Mars Bar

Sometimes Martial takes that one touch too many. He just have just put his boot through it.

Strumms

Just saw a replay there.. did Stones come through Martial to make that tackle ? Could have been a pen...?

Unearthly

Carrick is having a very poor game

Just shoot fs

Harry Palmr

Another stunning first half shut out.

Ah the tofees have arrived

Hard or soft? Not a fan myself.

Not having a go here Mick but it annoys me how Smalling is the one that gets the credit when Blind has been making him look like a fool the entire first half. Just because it's more interceptions and smart play it doesn't look as impressive.

United's midfield is non existent. Time for the big fella.

How can LVG watch that first half and not see that? He has to make a swap. No creativity, no composure from either side. United win if he makes that swap.

MonkieSocks

No shots on target from either of them

Memphis and Fellaini for Lingard/Mata and Carrick/Schneid. The players coming on are more important than anyone who'd come off as depressing as that is.

Nothing like a hard one in the mouth.

I'd swap Mata and Lingard for 15 mins first to see how it goes. Then bring on Mephis and Fellaini on 60 if there is no change.

Do people not watch Utd anymore? 26 posts for the first half.

I'd like to see Herrera brought on into CM for the 2nd half, there's a spark and some urgency needed in the middle to get our attackers off and running. The chances of him being brought on though? I'm not holding much hope, definitely think he's gone in the Summer unless LVG goes first.

Its hard to watch an LVG team.

Carrick has been poor. Morgan needs to be allowed to do more than just defend.

Firstly, I wouldn't be using posts on an Irish internet forum as a barometer. Secondly, the match has been unimaginably ****. No shots on target from either team, no moments of danger, no controversial decisions. Just overall crap from both.

Manutd_4life

Incredibly s**t half. From both sides that is. I honestly feel sorry for people who travelled down to watch that. Absolutely nothing happening

Andersonisgod

I always find it interesting how.....nah, who am I kidding, that was remarkably uninteresting. Everton trying to isolate Lukaku 1 vs 1 with Man Utd centre backs to minimal success, Man Utd relying far too heavily on Martial to make something happen.

Why not use it? Utd match threads where always busier in their heyday and this is not the first poor to watch game under LVG hence so few posters which would also suggest that fewer people are watching them.

Rojo must have been caught smoking in the jacks at half-time.

Injury? Surely not tactical. Lingaard off fs

Cookie_Dough

Rojo hasn't been great in this game, he was blasting shots and being sloppy in possession, deserved to come off IMO.

****ing shocking from carrick

Manutd_4life

Carrick is just so s**t now

Rob Thomas

This is set up for Everton to snatch a goal from a half chance and United won't be able to fashion a recovery.

It's so obvious, why will he not change!!!!!

Gavlor

What a snoozefest of a game. Too very average teams playing with little or no confidence.

Cypher_sounds

Rojo lost the ball 15 times in that half, absolute poison.

Trigger

GTFI Martial!

Fosu mensah

Good switch by lvg in the end!!
