Fetshu · Feb 28, 2020

I'm weirdly confident we'll nip this in a bud quite comfortably.
That is the power that one good signing can bring. Bruno is not only a class above himself, but he also elevates the others around him.

Looking forward to this match.

It was a voodoo ritual. Not that I believe in that sort of thing

The better of two poor players then.

What’s clear is that neither should be starters. I doubt if Chong will be around anyway;he clearly believes he’s better than he is.

We need a proper RW, as a priority, James is out of his depth.

Calvert Lewin will be licking his lips. I think because Bailly played yesterday, he won't play Sunday.

Ole has already said he needs to be managed.

We have to pay them back for that 4-0 from last season

That’s a bit mental

Cant see anything but a united win myself...

For the moment perhaps. It wasn’t that long ago that Fred was a laughing stock. Kid has ability and potential

AlexUTD · Feb 28, 2020

If we win this game and get 3-4 points from City/Spurs we will get 4th no doubt.

Smores · Feb 28, 2020

Ole still talking about that 4-0 and that one or two had their last chance as a result.

Presumably one was Lukaku and the other Smalling. Guess you're not coming back then Chris. From what i remember they weren't even the worst players on the day.

redDNA · Feb 28, 2020

If Everton does not set up differently we will beat them.They set up expnsively.
They play mostly 442 or 433.
Either way they're defensively vulnerable at right back.Sidibe is positionally suspect. The key to winning this match is by exploiting the space between their RB and CB.For this I will have Bruno starting slightly off the left as a Mezzala and use James at LW.I will also play McT because they play two upfront so that he can help our CBs defensively.
My team for this would be.

Maybe some things were said in affect? Have you ever said something you didn't actually mean because you were angry?

"One or two..." I interprete that as one definitely and then almost another. The forum suggested Matic, Martial and Lukaku were the poorest performers on a bad day. Lukaku went for a neat sum, Matic didn't play much in autumn until injuries struck us hard and Martial has on numerous occasions been challenged by OGS to up his game. Smalling wasn't gonna stay unchallenged in the first eleven, so he chose to try his luck in Rome. I think OGS has backed his own words well. He's been testing his team, identifying positions in dire need for immediate strengthening and not accepting lack of effort or complacency.

We'll do them this time. Ighalo and Greenwood to score. They'll get a consolation goal.

Turnip · Feb 28, 2020

I'd like to think we set up exactly as we did last night, but I think it will be more of a 5 at the back shithousery, which I'm absolutely fine with if it gets a result, but don't really want it to kill our momentum now we actually seem to have a little for a change. I'm saying we nick it 1-0 with another Ighalo tap in.

Jonno · Feb 28, 2020

DDG
AWB Maguire Lindelof Shaw Williams
Matic Fred
Lingard Bruno
Martial

Sadly I think the positive introduction of Lingard might prompt him to start.

Crying out for a RW summer signing now, it's as clear as day.

Yeah I worry about Lindelof up against Richarlison & Calvert-Lewin,yes I know he dealt with Deeney fairly well but different when it's two.

We will indeed. I can't guarantee it. Up to him

12OunceEpilogue · Feb 28, 2020

We're both in a bit of form, barring Everton's shaky defending last time out vs Arsenal. I expect them to get at us early and try to put us on the ropes.

If Martial's unfit I'd like to see Ighalo and maybe Greenwood starting.

crossy1686 · Feb 28, 2020

Are we expecting to win this? They've improved a lot since Ancelotti took over.

Loon · Feb 28, 2020

Ancelotti is a clever sod. This will be nowhere near as easy as some are predicting.

Too much has gone right for us over the last couple of weeks, I’m wary. Feels like we’re about to come crashing down to Earth.

RedDevilRoshi · Feb 28, 2020

I hope Ole makes them re-watch last season’s 4-0 mauling at Goodison and warns them that a similar performance and result will not be tolerated. Give the players an extra bit of motivation to make up for that embarrassment last season.

We'll dick them. Tea leaves.

Sunday’s game will be the first occasion that Kavanagh has refereed an Everton game this season, however, it will be his third Manchester United tie, the previous two of which the Red Devils have lost (per Transfermarkt).

Shark · Feb 28, 2020

I think this fixture has the potential to send us flying back to square one. A draw obviously wouldn’t be the worst result but a 2-0 limp performance, as we’ve seen countless times this season and it spells real trouble.

Ludens the Red · Feb 28, 2020

Need to be extra piped up for this one as it’s Everton’s cup final. For some strange reason they seem to think this fixture is the Merseyside Derby.

jderbyshire · Feb 28, 2020

4-0 to us. Revenge.

OK, that's just bizarre... They are complaining because the guy has reffed two MUFC losses and no Everton games? The fix is in? :lol:

Agree, but it sure seems he won't after playing yesterday and just coming back. I'd play him over Victor to deal with the athletic Everton front-men for sure. Bummer.

Whoever is predicting an easy game in this one hasn't got a clue. Like you said Ancelotti is a master and he will know how to set up against us.

I'd be happy if we treated this fixture in the same manner we have been for the top top teams, five at the back with a strong midfield and grind out the result. Points are the most important thing now not plaudits.

Gator Nate · Feb 28, 2020

Actually feeling good about this, and I don't mind the 3-5-2. James would have had the first goal against Brugge if not for that handball, and he came off early, so I'm thinking he starts this one. Still not sure about Martial's fitness, might start Greenwood instead, but:

DDG
Lindelof - Maguire - Shaw
AWB - McTominay - Bruno - Fred - Williams
Martial - James

Subs: Greenwood (James) - Ighalo (Martial) - Matic (McTominay)

Everton 0 - 3 United

I think most believe this will be a tough one at Goodison. I sure do. Very excited for it.

RedNed77 · Feb 28, 2020

I reckon we’ll smash them, our tails are properly up at the moment. Adding Bruno has added some experience and positivity at that. Also some more fight, I’d be confident of pulling off a win even if we go behind. We have a bit of spine now with Maguire at the back and The three midfielders. I’d like to see us go full strength this weekend assuming Martial is back, no more of this 352 nonsense.

Looking at the extended highlights (thanks, fecker) seems that quite a few players weren't at the races that game. Smalling, Pogba, Dalot at fault for the first goal, De Gea for the second, Lindelof and Smalling for the fourth...
