Everton 0:3 Manchester United

kps88 · Oct 4, 2015

Everton - CSKA - City. This is where LVG earns his pay; going to have to rotate in such a way that we keep ourselves fresh for all three games.

FFS we couldnt have asked for a worse fixture.

Mark_GrumpyLion · Oct 4, 2015

1-2. Another one we'll grind out.

RDCR07 · Oct 4, 2015

We have to play 3 central midfielders otherwise its going to be Arsenal all over again.

Adisa · Oct 4, 2015

If we play with 2 CMs again, we'll get beat. It's that simple.

Darmian
Smalling
Rojo
Blind

Schneiderlin
Herrera
Fellaini

Mata
Martial
Young

My team. Don't fancy Lukaku on Blind.
Need energy against them so Carrick/BFS switched out for Schneiderlin and Herrera. Fellaini to be the deep lying target man midfielder like last season

Get the lead and then bring BFS/Carrick to see it out.

But I expect Rooney and Depay to keep their places

We have been awful in away games under Van Gaal since he arrived but pretty decent at home...today was the first real test for our defense and it was shown up to be nowhere near as good as the media were saying......I absolutely expect Everton to win this one

Edited.

Rado_N · Oct 4, 2015

Are the people posting lineups featuring Rooney doing so because they want to see him play or because they expect to?

theyneverlearn · Oct 4, 2015

This is the team I would want to see:

de Gea
Darmian Smalling Blind Rojo
Schneiderlin
Herrera Bastian
Mata Martial Pereira

3 man midfield and no rooney.

Time to get serious now.

Winrar · Oct 4, 2015

and that.

Walters_19_MuFc · Oct 4, 2015

What I'd play:

De Gea
Darmian - Smalling - Jones - Blind
Carrick
Herrera - Fellaini
Martial - Rooney - Young

Pace in wide areas
Running in behind
Rooney as a false 9, making a diamond, whilst Martial and Young play as wide forwards
Fellaini to be an option if Everton press high up. If not, play out with Carrick and Herrera dropping deep to control the game

EDIT:

De Gea
Darmian - Smalling - Jones - Blind
Carrick
Herrera - Fellaini
Mata - Rooney - Martial

Antisocial · Oct 4, 2015

I'd go with:

De Gea
Valencia---Smalling---Jones---Blind
Schneiderlin
Schweinsteiger---Herrera
Mata---Martial---Young

We need to go with a defensive mindset, so I'd look to play with pace on the counterattack. Blind is a more solid fullback than Young (obviously) so I'd reunite Smalling and Jones. Valencia and Darmian was the main question in my mind, but I think we'd benefit more from the width Valencia provides, since we have a midfield that should be able to cover at fullback if needed.

And no Rooney. For obvious reasons.

Swap Jones and McNair, swap Rooney for Young or Pereira and we'd be sorted.

Swap LVG with Ancelloti.

They always come out flying against us at Goodison, it could be a start like against Arsenal.
We need to match their passion to get the three points from here, but i'm doubting it to be honest.

My team would be:

DdG
Damo Smalling Jones Blind
Morgan
JMata Herrera Schweini Young
Martial

This is exactly the team we should play, but Rooney will start and I expect he'll keep Blind at CB.

If Herrera plays, he needs to overlap Mata on the wing. Darmian isn't doing it and he is not that great going forwards anyway.

Ole's_toe_poke · Oct 5, 2015

Surprised this is a Saturday 3pm kickoff and hasn't been selected for TV.

Stack · Oct 5, 2015

Everton dont have enough players with the skill levels that Arse used to tear us a new one. We will knock them over.

Do you really believe that? At Goodison?

Mystry · Oct 5, 2015

I hope Herrera is back. I know Rooney isn't going to be dropped so shift him wide left and play Herrera as part of a three in midfield.

Yep sure do.

our recent records at goodison park have been generally poor so I'm not confident. plus in the last outing they thoroughly beat us 3-0.

hope this changes in 2 weeks. (operative word being hope, of course)

I'd put in Young ahead of Pereira and swap Blind/Rojo but I like that team.

De Gea

Darmian Smalling Jones Blind

Schneiderlin

Schweinsteiger Herrera

Mata------------------------Young

Martial

This is the team I'd play (injury permitting) even though we all know that it's not going to be because Rooney won't be dropped seemingly under any circumstance bar fitness.

Not completely happy with having Mata out on the right, but he's been in good form recently and has to start plus it's abundantly clear we need to play 4-3-3 at the moment. Jones would come in for Blind who'd have a torrid time against Lukaku if he continues to play centre back. Young would look build up the partnership on the left with him that was effective at the back end of last season whilst offering defensive support that was sorely lacking from Memphis in that first half today. Darmian had a bit of a mare against Sanchez to put it politely but he's generally played well up until now and with proper protection from a DM he should be fine. Not sure Valencia would do any better anyway. If Herrera's not fully fit then Carrick takes his place. Martial picks himself obviously.

Yep but we are quite a different side to when we played them last (ignoring yesterdays effort.). I think we have better players and they will be wanting to atone for the Arse effort.

everton have also been in better position in the table so far. but I am hoping you are right.

You are in for a rude awakening then. You must have missed out what they did to us last season and what they did to Chelsea not too long ago.

We are quite a different proposition from last season and lets also remember they got Chelsea at the worst Chelsea have been in donkeys years. Sure it will be tough but I think we have the better squad and better players.

Galactic · Oct 5, 2015

We should keep more or less the same team that started yesterday. The 3 goals were freak ones. I doubt we'll concede that many that early ever again.

Play passively, and it will be a sad afternoon. Match them physically, don't take any shit. I hate this game away to Everton, the sooner it's over the better.

crimsonife · Oct 5, 2015

Just need to wake up, don't do the same thing. Start well and set the tone early.

kouroux · Oct 5, 2015

Everton will try to do the same thing Arsenal did, attack very fiercely in the first 30-35 minutes. I worry about Lukaku coming up Blind.
