Everton 3:0 Manchester United

Simbo · Apr 26, 2015

It really does feel like Carrick is the difference. Still, I expect us to come back.

Shameful. Sack the club.

Everton have been pond scum. We shouldn't be down 2-0.

Dargonk · Apr 26, 2015

Ok half when we have had the ball, though we aren't really getting a whole lot of penetration. Everton are doing very well on the counter, and look more dangerous than us. Though we are doing a decent job of helping out there attacks with some average defending.

Will be tough to get anything from this game now, but hopefully we can get back in it. Though could just as easily concede again on the counter as we start to push more for those goals.

Let's see if this United side can fight as well as pass.

Exactly. City have been shit and if we finish below them it's a bit embarassing.

Not really, you guys have been worse over the course of the season. This 5 game run 3 games of which you were brilliant has created a false view. You are still a fair way off the top level.

Still ill · Apr 26, 2015

Thought we were pretty good until the second goal. No belief since, need a good kick up the arse at half-time. Di Maria for Young, time for him to get his United career up and running.

more possession , more shoots on goal but still behind by shit defending . fecking piss poor half.

Poor shots. Straight at the keeper. Herrera, Young and Blind should have been doing better with their shots. At least Blind's shot was with his weaker foot.

The second Everton goal has stopped us in our tracks it seems. Looking a bit toothless right now.

Yup, we died a bit after that one. We should be ahead, but are behind. Rooney and Young invisible, Herrera too. Marriner hates us for some reason. Annoying game. Carrick's our main man.

Litch · Apr 26, 2015

We are missing the WC players that turn this procession football into goals. No forwarded thinking player wants to beat a player. Valencia can't go past people anymore.

Pexbo · Apr 26, 2015

It's got to be Di Maria on for Fellaini but you know it's going to be Falcao on and Rooney to midfield.

nemanja15 · Apr 26, 2015

We've played nice football (at the very least we are good to watch again) but have nothing to show for it.

Two careless goals.

Referee making some bizarre calls.

Undeserved but we need a bit more pace and precision in the final third. Wouldn't surprise me if we go the diamond in the second half and we throw Di Maria and Falcao on.

Well capitalised on that last minute, particularly by Valencia who spent 15 seconds running around in circles while challenged by nobody.

Er... attack the space?

Kag · Apr 26, 2015

Fellaini, Blind and Herrera should all have scored. Poor shooting and decision making.

McNair following his strange trend of playing fantastically then following it up by playing like a teenager that's won a competition to play for the first team. He isn't ready.

Both goals are on Valencia. Shite.

We've actually played reasonably well, similarly to in recent weeks, the difference being is that we've gave away two rotten goals. I get the feeling that today isn't our day.

Nah, if we score one we're right back in it, but the chances of scoring one diminish greatly with Falcao's present on the pitch!

He can't do any worse then Rooney does in this game. Bottles it every year

Drifter · Apr 26, 2015

Please stop with these ref conspiracy theories.

Red Dreams · Apr 26, 2015

we are very much in this game....

they will sit back a lot more.

we need to finish our chances...

Which is very worrying given Carrick's age.

Hed Zitin · Apr 26, 2015

We might as well go for it. Get Blind off and put Di Maria on.

DevilRed · Apr 26, 2015

Can't say im surprised. We have always struggled at goodison and today is no difference.

Our defending has been poor and getting caught on the counter so early in the match was criminal. Its basically the same blueprint that chelski used against us. Mcnair was too weak in the tackle and Blind was nowhere to be seen. It just goes to show you what a huge difference that Carrick (and Rojo/Jones) makes to our team. I just feel like Blind has been really poor today positionally and has not contributed much in terms of penetration.

I think its time we played our best players like Di Maria. Young has been in good form for the latter part of the season but he is beginning to tail off. There is basically no service to Rooney and someone like ADM will change that.

A lot of possession but no real cutting edge. Its just really difficult to break down everton when you have only Rooney up top and nobody supporting him. Fellaini hasn't been very active either.

It's not the ref that's costing us the points today

The ref didn't make us miss those chances or defend poorly but he's completely nullified Fellaini and our gameplan by buying into their shithouse antics. Even if they didn't have a plan for him, the ref has given them one.

wr8_utd · Apr 26, 2015

This is just an awful team away from home and our defense, for all it's so called improvement, is an almighty joke. We still need 6 points for Top 4 and with our away form, I don't know where that's going to come from.

You say that like it's been a common occurrence.

Honestly, if we go about this right in the second half we could easily win. They're not exactly great, but we've been shite in front of goal. Need ADM and RvP/Falcao on -- don't care about form, give either of them the chance Fellaini had and they take it.

No fecking chance Falcao scores there.

No panic yet. A goal before 60 and we will win this.

We are fecked game is over

Jev · Apr 26, 2015

Fellaini off, please. Awful half and lucky to be on the pitch still.

Heinzesight · Apr 26, 2015

Gary Neville is such a bell end. Whenever one of our players is onside, he calls it 'the edge of offside'...there's no such fecking thing. Whenever the opposition is offside, it's, 'ooh, not sure if he was on or off'...we know your trying to be impartial, but talk sense you tit.

Trigg · Apr 26, 2015

Thought we played well apart from 2 lapses in concentration in giving two goals away. To score from the corner after two previous attempts is just laughable really. And our two defenders on the first goal scared to make a tackle wasn't much better either.

I think Rooney needs to do more up front too, another poor performance in Liverpool from him.

Aye, we need to learn how to park the bus better to achieve that I suppose.

This is his moment. This is where he earns his 5 year deal on 350k

siw2007 · Apr 26, 2015

Very frustrated to go in to the break 2 down. Defensively we have been all over the place and we can't control Everton's pace and power going forwards. Mata, Herrera and Valencia aren't doing badly trying to get the attack going but we are now finding it hard to create chances that we were earlier in the game.

Pin Everton back and stop the counter attacks, and we will be back in this game but there has to be an improvement in the second half.

What conspiracy theories? He's been shit and giving everything to Everton. Not many have cried conspiracy, just a shit reffing performance that's severely affecting the game in one side's favour.

Boycott said:
Anyone else think Blind is getting caught napping too often when they break..?

Valencia as well. No effort in tracking back when they counter. A few times even Mata has overtaken him as we try and recover.

KiD MoYeS · Apr 26, 2015

Please no Falcao.

Mciahel Goodman · Apr 26, 2015

Keane must be on anti-depressants -- haven't seen him that happy in.. ever.

Spoony · Apr 26, 2015

Lacking cutting edge.

FC Ronaldo · Apr 26, 2015

A good performance with 2 sloppy defensive moments, Fellaini missing a sitter and Rooney making no forward runs. No wonder Falcao was warming up.

Everton have scored 2 and credit to them for taking the chances and punishing us but we should have stopped all of their efforts prior to the shots comfortably.

poisson · Apr 26, 2015

No chance of getting anything here

1) we have no plan when the opposition put 11 men behind the ball

2) Ref won't give us anything.

At the moment we're actually easy to play against!

United seriously too reliant on Carrick. Blind is no replacement

No it's no coincidence that we stop scoring when he's not on the pitch and look lost in defense.
