3 points, clean sheet, a bit of a scrappy 2nd half, ball retention and decision making was erratic.
GD back to zero

Everton are absolutely woeful on the flanks and up top. Onana, Dalot, Evans and Garnacho are lynchpins. Why not bring Amad on for Bruno or Scott as he would never have had a better opportunity to showcase his talents?

Dreadful watch, but Everton were no real threat for all the pearl clutching about shot totals.

Rubbish game between two rubbish teams. You could have swapped most of our players with their's and we'd still look roughly the same. Garnacho, Mainoo and Varane were the difference.

A win with a clean sheet and both Bruno and Rashford getting goals. No injuries, no suspensions, no controversy on our end. Those are the positives. Onana and Evans played well, and Garnacho did very well to win both penalties.

The quality and standard of football from both sides was diabolical, however. :lol: :lol:

Really poor. I just watch it with full undivided attention and I can’t remember any moment except Obama diving to catch a cross.

Casemiro in particular was dreadful

It’s just our standard performance really, today it was enough to win but both teams looked very ordinary.

Joyless football, 39 goals scored in 28 games average of 1.39 goals per game, ETH football is just so bad we play most of our football in our own half against any team however bad or good, we need to get Europa Leagie, sack ETH and a full reset in the summer, any talk of CL is nonsense, we would need to win minimum of 8 out of 10 to maybe get 5th place and then go out next season in GP or round of 16!

Manchester united need to rebuild and get rid of a Manager that’s been one of our worst since SIr Alex. To watch football like this in a new stadium of maybe 90,000 is completely untenable?

We have a team of low footballing IQ players, as well as being mentally fragile. We need a brand new midfield (again).

James Garner by the way, is at the right level for his current capabilities, would have been little help to Utd this season.

We are, quite easily, the poorest coached team in the league.

Everton have poor players, especially up front, but they have patterns to their play that allowed them to walk through our midfield like it wasn't there.

Do that next week and the scouse will have a field day.

Same old. I don't like the way we play football, but a win is a win. Everton looked dangerous first half, but second half we pretty much just went through the motions - could have grabbed a couple more goals

goal difference is now out of overdraft. 3 points.

If Villa and Spurs draw tomorrow it will have been a good weekend

Painful to watch at times. Clueless set up leading to such wasteful distribution. Garbage but a win is a win.

That would be a memorable moment to be fair.

Dull game, but at least we got a win.

That was complete cack

Wish my interest in this team and sport hadn't somehow returned.

In fact, if this keeps up it'll be gone again rather quickly.

I'm convinced the team should be able to produce better football.

Great game with solid attacking and good tactics. Much better not putting Rashford as a 9 and just play with 4 semi attackers. Could have been 6-0, 4 penalties and some good combinations. I dont care if Everton have 189 shots at our goal, it was all hail mary with maybe 2 or 3 real dangerous positions but Everton do not have the quality to finish it. So well done Ten Hag and well done players. Having no strikers really needs to be resolved the next transfer window though. We cannot keep relying on our midfielders to cover up.

Biggest complaint is that ETH was supposed to be a high press possession turnover team. Instead we're counter attacking. Problem is we still don't have enough strength in depth to step up to a better system.

I fell asleep second half when we passed the ball around in our half before gave it away before even crossing the halfway line for how many times.
