    You look at him and wonder how he is not one of the most productive forwards in the league. Shows how much of the game is played in the head and not just technical ability and physical attributes.

    Totally agree - hope he comes good ofc

    I’m sorry but I find this almost unwatchable. There’s nobody with a brain in the entire team.

    Exactly the same, might just do myself a favour for once and skip the second half so I’m not complaining throughout.

    It looks like 11 players dragged off the street for the first time, these players are thick as pigshit.

    We're playing well so far. Don't know why people are criticizing Herrera, has been very good imo.

    Everton are dreadful going forward. If we concentrate we can nick it 1-0.

    Right, so Everton are dreadful and we're playing well, but you only think we can "nick" it by a goal. High praise there
     
    We have been all right. Everton been good defensively.

    Mata annoys me a lot. So many times Lingard or Martial have made a run and Mata doesn’t take the risky pass. fecking stop being a coward and try to play one through to your team mates.

    Sooo annoying indeed. He always plays it back as soon the pass required is a tough one.
     
    Looked somewhat like a football team in attack that half, much more fluid without Lukaku.

    Atrocious decision making nearly every final ball, though.
     
    Martial and Pogba are the only ones looking like they belong here quality wise from all our attacking bunch.

    And people say the players aren’t to blame, but the manager.

    The combination of all the top managers in the world won’t schieve nowt with these boys.

    Ship them out completely - they are too comfortable with poor performance week in week out.

    it was the same problem with chelsea in mourinhos 3rd season, its happening now.

    I kind of agree, and I wish Mourinho would have tried this earlier in the season.
     
    Playing ok but wasteful on the break. Those little one-twos are coming to feck all and our movement is nonexistent. Best chance of the half taken away by that Rooney foul
     
    Seriously our final 3rd weight of pass and pass appreciation can be atrocious at times.

    Typical Big Sam defending with two banks of 5. They are going to be difficult to break down. Can’t see the second half being particular exciting.
     
    Seems like every time we have an advantage we pass backwards to ensure Everton can set their defense.
     
    I would say your looking more attacking because Everton are leaving so much space behind themselves, they are actually playing to win this.
     
    Really good match. Lots of chances to break, but there’s a lack of chemistry there. Happier with the line-up and approach today. Don’t see this one ending 0-0.
     
    The only way we could have done things any more difficult in that first half is by conceding. Stop the fecking ridiculous shots and have some patience.
     
    Lacking the quality up front to turn that dominate performance into a lead :(
     
    Dont know if I'm gonna bother with the second half. Haven't enjoyed a United game for quite some time now and this one is shaping up to be no different. I've got other things to do to be honest. Might just keep tabs on the banter in here.
     
    We have no variation in our attack because we have no threat down the right. Pretty obvious everything is gonna come down that left side or through the middle.
     
    Well that was a boring 45 minutes of football. I’m gonna go watch my alma mater in the Peach Bowl. Should be more worth the time at the moment.
     
    We're doing okay considering out right side of Lindelof-Mata has to be the least threatening we've had in a while.
     
    Poor passes, players rarely use their heads.Easy game to win if we trust our selves but that's the issue.

    Hows Martial doing up top?

    Meh ok. Not awful but nothing to write about. Lost the ball too many times for my liking (and poor first touches a few times). Tried a few runs but as usual ran into defenders.
     
    Mata being a coward. All his crosses have hit the first man and his closing down has been laughaable at best

    It's not just that shot. His passing and ball control have gone to complete shit. Last season he was one of the players in our team that played the most through balls for our attack, this season I haven't even seen him makde a decent pass over more than a couple of meters. He is like a completely different player.

    I've always thought he was fairly overrated off a few very good games but usually had a consistent positive effect on us. But yeah, now he's just atrocious.
     
    This is a decent game. First 20 minutes were a bit tentative then we put a little move together and since then it’s like they’ve recalled the principle of passing and movement.
    There are still moments when you have to question what they are doing as they often pick the wrong pass, take the long way, don’t make an offer and there has been quite a few times I’ve been waiting for a fullback to pop in to the picture going at pace to receive a ball and it just doesn’t happen.

    However as soon as we started playing at pace we looked so much better. Everton making a game of it as well.

    We are doing better than the last game but on what planet are we playing well? Herrera has been garbage. How can constantly giving the ball away and making the wrong decision be playing well?
     
    I don't know how anyone can watch the striker performances of Ibra, Rashford and now Martial and still think we're better off without Lukaku.

    Have absolutely no focal point to the attack at the moment.
