Bruno, Ronaldo, Cavani, De Gea, Varane, Shaw are the only players who deserve to be First 11.

Sancho did okay to be fair.

Rest are poor (from players available today)

Not that bad a game, just got some players with no game intelligence whatsoever. Should be able to see out the game but then we concede from our own shit corner, and almost manages to give it away in the end completely against the run of play.

So, let me get this straight - we had 4 consecutive home games against mid-table teams and we’ve won ONE with a 95th minute winner in a game where we were absolute trash. At what point do we start talking about the sacking?

Will never happen but I wish the board could take a leaf out of Chelsea's book and try and salvage a competitive season by bringing in a proper manager during the international break.
This is the saddest thing. We need to totally destroy our season first before we can do what obviously needs to be done.

1 point against Villa and Everton at home, this is nothing short of terrible. We’ll most likely make up against the better teams some how, but the end result is of course that we will never, ever win the league with this amateur in charge. I’m just disappointed in the situation we find ourselves in.
We don't even do that anymore.

We started well and had a few bright spots - Martial got his goal, Sancho did well when he came on and before the subs Greenwood was amazing. AWB was also excellent in the first half.

But as a collective, we are nothing special. Manager is simply not at the required level.

It's not working. We made good progress, assembled a pretty good squad, seem to have nice chemistry in the team, but it's just not coming together.

A weakened Everton, should do better than this. If Ole mentions we won possession again I'll start calling for his head.
what if he's caught smiling minutes before the game ended?

wE didn't play terribly or anything and should have won but...
Awful mistake for their goal.
Let's hope we get top four cause I can't see us winning the PL
Amazing that we are already "hoping" we get top 4 with this team. If that's the case, Ole should walk now. Our whole bench would have started for Everton.

What a joke. Honestly, it feels like we’ve a ceiling with this management.

It’s not good enough Ole. The midfield is an absolute mess and it doesn’t feel like anything is changing?

Disastrous result really, even this early on.

We needed that 3 points before the murderer's row of fixtures we have coming up.

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"
Poor that, Everton are bang average.

We get 30 yards out from opponents goal and are really slow, sideways. No driving runs, no quick/intricate 1-2s to create space. Have to sort that out as we'll face a lot of teams like that.

1 point v Villa and Everton at home. Tiny title chance is really zero now based on games so far.. not defeatist but other teams won't drop points like this, they may drop to each other. We'd have to beat a lot of top teams when we play them now. Big ask.

And now wank international break to mope through.

Roll on Leicester

Even if we win, we look very bad. It's absolutely no suprise that we lose points with performances like these. Most of the games this season we have been the worst side on the pitch and the points we have stolen only flatter us. Our defense in counter attacks has been a disaster. This is a crisis which needs to be resolved ASAP or this season will be a write-off.

For a guy who likes counter attacks, he loses alot of goals from counter attacks. Same old, same old. Not enough good chances created. Everton looked more dangerous, Utd players always feck up the final pass which denies them a shot at goal. Some nice flicks by Utd but completely ineffectual. Get big Sam in as head coach.

Frustrating 2 points dropped. Everton go back home with their 28% possession and 2 shots on target with a point.

Stupid goal from Uniteds own corner to concede and Fred especially should have stopped that counter attack. Daft to think such inconsistent United side could have went top for a few hours with a win this afternoon.

Sack him.

Can't wait for Woodward to do one, he has been abysmal with his choice of managers from mediocre to past their prime dinosaurs

While disappointed with the result, we did not play all that bad. Sancho looking better and better.

It has to be said though, we did look better with Cavani than with Ronaldo.

I have an extra big heart for him, being Scandinavian but.. No more faith left at all. I'll rather have conte here even if our squad & him isn't a great fit.

I wanted that Everton goal to be onside for all the world to see how crap this set of players can play after that hopeless performance.

I'm gonna go against the grain here.

They is plenty of quality in the team. They have had very little experience of playing with each other. Things will get better.

Sancho in particular looked direct and incisive; very good to watch.

Disappointed with the draw. We bought Sancho to solve the attacking problem down the right. Why are we not playing him there? Can Greenwood not play on the left? Sancho looks useless most of the time playing for us. Also Fred. You are in a defensive midfielder role dude.

Well McT had crap distribution, and he was at fault for what should be a Everton goal were it not for a pass too much..

He needs to be looked at because we can't have passengers in this team, we need to get a better midfield.

Even if it manages few wins it's quite clear he is not the man for the job.

We are just delaying the inevitable

Horrible to watch and before Martial scored we didn’t look like getting a goal. Even when we did score, we didn’t look like kicking on and solidifying our position.

We looked completely void of ideas and created very little, if I was an Everton fan I’d be saying we should have won, we were lucky to get a point.

Absolutely. And we'd have wasted a year of an ageing Ronaldo and Pogba likely fecking off too. And for what? Vibes and giving it a proper go?
