Never seen him run so fast in my life.

The only really good bit of play he did today was the movement for the 1st goal.He started the season very well but that's two or three poor performances in a row now. Barely involved today and even when he did get involved he messed up some simple stuff that he could normally do in his sleep.
Not really, Mata ALWAYS does his work. In fact the only time Digne got into the box with space (when he hit the bar) was when him and Rashford had momentarily switched sides.Weird selection up against Lucas Digne. Poor cross in the first half wasted one counter-attack. More involved in the first half when we dominated possession. A tame shot easily blocked in the 2nd half. Surprised he stayed on as long as he did, given Everton had the ball for most of the 2nd half.
Mata has performed surprisingly well at times this season but need to be careful when to use him. We got away with it this time.
Thats complete nonsense.Not exactly his fault that he’s still being selected, but it’s akin to playing an 11-man sport with 10 players on the pitch the majority of the time he plays.
A poor Rashford was still involved in the second goal. The key word is involved, Mata was a ghost in that second half. Involved in nothing as usual.Thats complete nonsense.
He wasn't amazing today or anything but comfortably better then Rashford or Martial for a start.

He was rubbish and shouldn't have started.Mata was involved in the first goal?
He was also constantly working back on that right side.
Rashford and Martial were very poor today, but that’s not the case almost every time they play.Thats complete nonsense.

Nor is it the case with Mata.Rashford and Martial were very poor today, but that’s not the case almost every time they play.
Thought he was probably our worst player today personally, complete passenger. Not his fault of course he's past it and shouldn't be starting anywhere let alone right wing.Thats complete nonsense.

He played reasonably well against Newcastle, but hasn’t produced anything in other games this season.Nor is it the case with Mata.
Really? I recall him playing very well in the Carabao Cup games (or was it FA Cup?) before the Newcastle match. He also produced a few chances against Chelsea, which was more than just about anybody else in that game. And 'reasonably well' against Newcastle is a ridiculous understatement.He played reasonably well against Newcastle, but hasn’t produced anything in other games this season.
Like I said in my original post, it’s not his fault that we haven’t settled on an effective alternative, but right-wing has probably been our biggest problem since about 2016.
