When even Souness is saying that VAR made a mess of it then you know it shouldn’t have stood.

Never seen a player get back into the side so easily. It was like Ole was waiting for just 1 good performance from him and now he gets to start until the end kfythe season.Pundits on my tv saying, it was a clear free kick against De Gea.
I disagree, I do not see anything wrong with it. The defender was in the air before De Gea, and De Gea jumped into him. It is not his job to move out of the way for De Gea.
I’m watching in a pub so it’s difficult to hear what the analysis is at half time whether a foul or not. What are they saying?
Hopefully he is back soon.If DDG was a bit more brave there, they might give him a foul.what is that VAR panel thinking?Normal contact
On my Giggsy said it wasn't. I do agree too, was just weak goalkeeping.
Edit: Actually more 50/50.
He is not a 10, not a good one anyway.We've not been great in the first half, and it's been a performance very similar to what we have been seeing against most opponents that sit back, but if we're going to have VAR, then they need to do their fecking jobs. De Gea should have done better, but it's a clear foul.
Second half we need to up our tempo. Use the widths and be less predictable. I'd match Everton and go with a 442. Bring on Greenwood for Lingard.
We've done so well in the last couple of weeks. Be a shame to ruin it now, especially when we're starting to close the gap on Chelsea, who have been in poor form of late. We need to capitalise. Massive second half for us.
Hardly surprising considering the clubs they played for....
They were defending quite well when it was 0-0. They're not going to move out of their own box now. Can't see it either. Hope i'm wrong.Why aren't we playing Mata at 10 more often? Sure he's past his best, but would still provide more than Lingard
No Martial is technical and can hold the ball, he needs to stay. We need better from Lingard. It seems that we are trying to target the space behind full backs but for that, we need to get the ball.
What we need to do is to yell at the players to run their socks off in the box when we counter because that is important to pressure Everton's defensive shape. Otherwise, they only have to defend against one or two players, that's easy. But let them run altogether and they will have to follow everyone and it will disturb their line.
Because he'll be a starter. For Manchester United. At the age of 18/19 y.o.Can’t break down defensive sides, lose ball with sloppy play, Under the cosh for 10 minutes, concede, heads drop.
Repeat.
same old same old. What’s the point doing well against the top 6, when we have 26 other games to plan for?Bizarre that the goal was given. He'd turned his head from getting slapped. VAR makes no difference because the refs using it are completely incompetent.
Could cost us an important game here. fecking joke
I rather have Greenwood as forward with Martial behind him. Two midfielders are better than three midfielders when Lingard is part of the three.I don't understand how that wasn't a foul on De Gea? Fecking hell. Having said that, just before the corner I said it felt like a goal was coming. We fecked up by not taking advantage when on top early. Classic United in a game against a "weaker" team.Clear foul on De Gea, but that doesn't change how utterly useless we've been up front.Pretty similar 1st half to Thursday , let’s hope 2nd half is similar too.
What? Rashford has a one to one, for me, it was in. James is also wide ahead, Pickford didn't even move, this is a goal normally.Just incase nobody missed it, Duncan Ferguson has taken his jacket off.
Just incase you didn't hear.
which is why I keep saying we need a real goal-scorer: an Ole/RvP/RvNThis is where Ole earns his right to manage United. Everton have not been that great and he has to get the second half right tactically.
Pickford would of taken the ball the man and whoever else was around him to get to thatCome on we can’t be dropping any more points against shite at home.What is the point in beating spurs and City and then losing to Everton?
Looking at Everton's lineup before KO it was obvious they were going for a lineup that could work hard as a unit. All we had to do was match that effort and desire and the score would not be 0-1 at half time.
Still another half to put it right!
We’ve created half chances but nothing clear cut. Everton definitely deserve to be leading based on their performance.Normal contact
yeah, a push in the face..
I wouldn't rely on that if we're looking to do the same to their players..
So true. Either play Pogba there when he comes back or sign a new ten.
Should have been a free kick, but De Gea was weak and should have done better, going side on with no conviction.
Yes, why was Lindelöf facing our goal? He should defend it with his back towards the goal. Pure comedy.
You could make the argument that it’s a foul, but if DDG was his keeper he’d be blaming him for not being stronger. They all pretty much agreed.
I know that. When teams sit back you have to move the ball quicker. We go wide, take an absolute age to release the ball and then go backwards. When you have pace like Rashford and James they should have the confidence to get past their man rather than the safe option of recycling the ball every time.
Difference being that Arsenal had the sense to appear ambitious and get rid of Iwobi whereas Lingard's getting close to a testimonial.we have a natural goal-scorer on the bench. are we going to wait til we are two down with five mins left to get him on?- Status
