Lack of end product and shambolic defending have again put is in a bad position. We've had an excellent run of form before last week but we should be concerned about having to play teams lower in the table because we simply don't have quite enough pace or efficiency to get behind 9 or 10 men who are parking it.

This is another game IMO where we're getting killed by Valencia's lack of playmaking abilities. Martinez is not stupid, he's overloading the left and middle and giving Valencia all the space he wants on the right because he knows, just like Mourinho, that your chances of getting scored on are much less when he is in possession than Young, Herrera, or Mata. It doesn't help either that Mata often drifts centrally when we move into the final third to link up with Herrera, leaving Valencia to his own devices out wide.

I wasn't excited about Blind getting into the lineup because I found it odd how he was mentioned as doubtful for this game and suddenly he's back in the lineup. I understand that he's an important player for us but he is really not doing enough as the holder and looks slow. I hope that he doesn't aggravate whatever's bothering him.

There are 2 goals in us, certainly, but I find it very doubtful with how Everton plays.

Great point... I wasn't sure we needed a new right back but thinking about this I now think we do.

What do you mean? People are just being critical of our performance today

Kill 'em all · Apr 26, 2015

Valencia is so bad.

JTW95 · Apr 26, 2015

That box is just so crowded.

We are terrible now

LARulz · Apr 26, 2015

Di Maria for Young?

lynchie · Apr 26, 2015

Time to bring Falcao on.

Shane88 · Apr 26, 2015

Shaw may as well just smack it across the box from those positions and hope for an own goal.

None of our superstar players can seem to connect with simple fecking cutbacks.

rednev · Apr 26, 2015

Did I hear that right? 6 hours of football for Falcao since he last had shot on target?

fecking Hell.

It's the position I think we need the most.

Having Phil Neville commentate this game is painful on the ears.

Anustart89 · Apr 26, 2015

Time-wasting after 55 minutes, get to feck.

owsterix · Apr 26, 2015

OK, sub of Falcao for Di Maria now, he's gassed already.

And your point is what? Once they've Sussed out the Felliani factor, including last week, then what? Think the substituting him speaks volumes...

Think the yellow cards are also a factor... no way we are pulling this back with 10 men.

That their back up goalie warming up?

And if we turn this game around the same will be back praising the team

poisson · Apr 26, 2015

I see we've turned shit again

LeftyBlaster · Apr 26, 2015

Now would be a good time to wake up United. Where's the bloodlust?

Especially since he's ITK with both clubs and can elucidate Tim Howard's baggy pants circa 2003.

That's pretty bad.

What kind of haircut does Falcao have now? Looks like a samurai

caisenma · Apr 26, 2015

Falcao's hair looks as bad as he plays. What's he going for?

JustAFan · Apr 26, 2015

We might give up 4 this game

I wonder if Falcao doesn't play as well as he could because he knows his future isn't invested in Man Utd. So what if they don't make the top 4. He won't be there.

What about showcasing his talents so he can get a fat contract elsewhere? In all professional sports, players usually perform a hell lot better in order to clinch a big contract; they also usually drop performances more often if they have the contract in their pockets.

I'm surprised there was a time you didn't think United were shit

iAm20Legend · Apr 26, 2015

almost another there. We just can't take the pace

Timdbro · Apr 26, 2015

Fecking Everton time wasting already, small time

Hellboy · Apr 26, 2015

so fecking slow

Flying_Heckfish · Apr 26, 2015

Shame AdM has been out of sorts. Exactly the sort of player we need right now, a bit of magic to open them up

Think we need a few positions critically... so i will not rank them, just agree we need quality here

Nothing happening here.

If Falcao wants his transfer then now is the time to shine.

If he wants a transfer, he'll need to score at least 5 goals in this game.
And so far, he has been totally anonymous - so its business as usual.

At least Fellaini was getting on the ball and creating problems for Everton (and the ref).
Without Fellaini we aren't very good, so I'm not quite sure why he was taken off.

saivet · Apr 26, 2015

What is Valencia doing?

Joemo · Apr 26, 2015

Martinez has got them trained to shout and appeal after every challenge. It really is embarrassing

Loon · Apr 26, 2015

Even the Goodison crowd are expecting us to do something. Need some ideas...

Bloxy · Apr 26, 2015

c'mon united

MrMarcello · Apr 26, 2015

Valencia is offering nothing down the right. Perhaps change it up, go 3-4-3/3-5-2, toss Di Maria on, drop Blind back, push Shaw forward.

Might that work?

pauldyson1uk · Apr 26, 2015

I dont have a problem with Side Show going off , he would of been sent off otherwise, but Falcao ? Di Maria would of been a better choice for me.

Raw · Apr 26, 2015

This is just horrible. Can't even see us get a goal at this rate.
