only Hojlund Casemiro and Martinez out now of the definite starters, expecting a dominant performance therefore

The announcer just said that Ashley Young is one of the last players with a PL medal from united’s last title. Is that possible

Sky's TV Director must be sweating so much trying to get crowd shots without the PL CORRUPT flyer appearing :lol:

Everton should be up by a couple of goals. No idea how it’s still 1-0. It’s like watching Chelsea.

United deserved the win after the second half for me.
Once the penalty was given there was only going to be one winner. Sucked the life out of the game and us. If it's 1-1 or we are up at half time it's a different story but only have ourselves to blame for the loss!

Probably yeah. Much more controlled second half from you. Everton should really have been 2 or 3-1 up by HT but you adjusted and played much better in the second half. Deserved win in the end.

It was definitely a game of two halves and taking chances.

Think the xG overall was around 2.5 each but United had 1.9 in the second to Everton’s 0.2.

Everton should have scored in the first.

Has Leno been sniffing glue? The feck is he playing at.

I'm not sure this wasn't just a dive. From the replay it doesn't look clear. Semedo gets the ball first, if there's a touch it's a slight one and Cairney makes the absolute most of it.

Cairney in that moment highlights one of the most dislikeable things about football.

Iwobi is so close to be a great player. He looks like a player you see at 18 thinking they'll become world class but he stops evolving. His ball control is excellent, great dribbler but he's just below par at shooting, passing and when to release the ball.

Yeah, he's really frustrating because the talent is absolutely there. Has 5-10 games a season where it all comes together and he's brilliant but will likely always be an almost player.

He really does try though. Can't fault him that. Maybe he's yet to peak.

That's why he was one of our best players in the last two seasons because he was one of the few that always gave 100% every week. Sad we had to let him go but he was on insane wages (and wanted more to stay).

If the ref gives a red there they don’t overturn it so why not overturn a yellow when he head buts the other guy?

The refs should never complain about diving when every fecking game it's proven that players have to dive for the ref to fecking penalize correctly....

100%. The martial one yesterday was bizarre! If you’re not sure it’s a pen or not don’t then book the player for diving when he clearly got kicked.

I don't think this is contentious as the commentator's are making it sound, seems a bit cut and dry to me.
