    Why do Mourinho insist on playing two holding midfielders at home? Put another attacking player on and have Herrera with Carrick or Fellaini as the central midfielders. If we really have to play with two holding midfielders though, why does our wingers have to go play wing backs, while Young and Blind goes more central, when Everton has the ball? It's really no wonder there's so many back-/sideway passes whenever we get the ball, because our players are so far back the pitch whenever we recover it and it leaves Zlatan isolated.

    Carrick is very off pace. Not there to support an attack yet not really helping out the CBs at all. He just dropped into the space to pull his passes, but his teammates all being marked. Not trying dribble pushing up abit or position himself closer to his teammates.

    Fellaini being Fellaini. At fault for losing Williams in that conceded goal. The Everton GK seems to borrow DDG talent for this game. DDG beside the soft goal, also didn't help CBs enough collecting the ball. Some bad kick too.

    I've felt deflated for the lasty few games it's just hard to see where the spark and goals are going to come from.

    Herrara, feck me how did you not score? Young, for a professional footballer how the feck does the ball get tangled in your legs so much like a child?

    Thought Fellaini made a good few contributions that half, while Ibra was fecking dogshit.

    Utterly dreadful. If we continue like we have done, we'll lose and thats top 4 done. Shame really. The players seem to have stopped enjoying the football.

    Why are we just so laboured. Zero urgency and commitment in the team. Looks like the players dont give a s*it. Our home form must be the worst in the Premier League

    I have been saying since Moyes. We are desperate for wingers and overlapping wing backs.

    Blind can't get up fast enough. Who ever plays LM is never playing his natural position so we never create anything on the left side. Valencia is our only danger man out wide.

    Also get rid of Fellaini, useless useless useless footballer. He strolls around the pitch, loses the ball, passes backward. He can't even win headers so why is on the pitch?

    No flair, no creativity, no pace, no energy. Story of the season in one half.

    Rashford offers nothing but pace. Can't get mad with this lovely lad, but man it's infuriating there's no end product.
    Lindgard was decent. Herrera good. If it wasn't for the previous results I'd say we were just unlucky. Now I'm absolutely gutted.

    -Rashford keeps trying but let's face it; he hasn't scored in the league since september and I think he should be lonaned out.
    -Lingard is ok but way too inconsistent and he should be a sub instead of a starter.
    -Zlatan isn't getting any help from anyone.
    -Fellaini is completely rubbish today. It's pointless playing him in a game like this at home when we don't need to play long balls from the back / resort to a lot of crossing.
    -Young isn't good at all and I think he should be sold in the summer. He is versatile but hardly top 4 quality.

    Jesus.. I was saying if Rojo shouted that he had it covered, that is the only excuse De Gea could have for not coming out.
    Why should de Gea come out and run through his defender? On a ball that's coming in low, even? Clutching at straws there mate.

    No Pogba, Mkhi, Martial or Mata, no creativity or spark. Our best chance of scoring looks like waiting for Everton to commit to a backpass and then getting Lingard to sprint at Robles hoping to force a mistake. Awful stuff.

    Seeing the goal again I think the blame has to lie with Fellaini. I don't think Rojo does much wrong there.

    This is set up perfectly for Everton. We'll start throwing more men forward, Jagielka and Williams will put their bodies on the line and Robles will put in a performance a complete 180 degrees from his Anfield shitshow.

    One long ball over the top for Lukaku and it's game over.

    Lingard the best player at the moment or do we disagree?
    I don't mind Lingard actually. Carries the ball FORWARD at pace, looks FORWARD for a pass and actually displays some semblance of movement off the ball. I'd rather that than the insufferable interchange of 5 yard sideways and backward passes.

    As things stand back to 6th and one of the games we have in hand is City away. We need to get the finger out, if we don't wake up and turn this around in the second half we might as well kiss goodbye to top four.

    Seeing Fellaini spinning around and passing the ball sideways because he has no skill nor technique to pass it to player that cutting in the channel in front of him is so depressing.

    You are too optimistic :lol: Bless you mate, but they are utter shite and it is reflected by the league table.
    Why aren't you discussing the points I'm putting forward? Plenty of chances, plenty of territory, plenty of possession. Says a lot when you aren't willing to discuss it.

    You still have hopes for Top 4?

    Playing shite, but we have had chances to score, and good chances too. Problem is we just can't fecking score. Ibra and Herrera should have scored that half.

    I have that same horrible feeling I had last season under Van Gaal where you know we won't score and if we concede that's pretty much game over.

    We're shit and I don't know why.
    Because we have shit players needs to feck off or wait in the line. The likes of Rashford and Lingard they still not good enough and needs time, Fellaini, Young, Blind are not good enough and needs to go Carrick can play but not regular we still need big big work and another big transfer window.

    Watford now 2-0 up against WBA.

    It's a sad state of affairs when Troy fecking thug Deeney can do something that Martial, Mickey ad Rashford failed epically at a few days ago.
