Manchester United 2:0 Everton

No Idea For Nickname · Apr 8, 2023

We had sun in our eyes in the first half, that is why we did not score 6 goals. Second half, we won' have that problem.

That's football. We could possibly make only 5 shots in the 2nd and end up scoring 2 more.

Exactly. Liverpool only had about 10 shots against us and scored 7.

We've been really entertaining to watch

Now this is looking like ETH's Ajax. There's such a nice balance here between all the positional duos: when Rashford moves to the wing, Sabitzer goes up to cover him, but when Rashford returns Sabitzer gets back to midfield to avoid clogging up the space. While Sancho keeps his place on the wing, Antony is free to help out in defence or in front of goal. Similarly for Mctominay who's free to roam around while Bruno stays available in midfield. Martinez can press up high with Maguire holding it down in the center and Bissaka can overlap on the wing or tighten up as an extra centerback while Malacia remains disciplined in position.

It really is a joy to behold, and allows both attack and defence to flow effortlessly. Only a fired up Pickford stands between United and a massive scoreline.

good post thank you

Amount of chances ….dare say Kane would have had a hat trick and Utd out of sight by now

Bruno is playing well today

Sabitzer and McT are doing a great job creating room for Bruno to play in. They both pull out to the sides and the Everton midfielders follow them in their run almost every time. After that, Bruno is often free.

Good game overall. Pretty much every one on song apart from maybe Bruno. Rashy unlucky in front of goal

Apart from Bruno? Not sure what match you're watching

Antony has been poor, sancho good

I don't think he has been poor, really made some good runs and even used his right foot once. More of it please.

Are we going to pretend those misses don't happen even to greatest strikers let alone a right back? Ronaldo had worse open net misses than that.

Sure they do but you simply don't get a 10/10 performance when you miss that.

I don't think you know what a 10/10 performance is.

Bruno has been unbelievable

red.knight · Apr 8, 2023

How could Sean Dyche not abandon the high line tactics after 5 minutes when their static defence was been exposed clearly?? A great manager? I don't think so. It could easily be 4 or 5.

He's been our heart and soul, his tackle to stop a counter was great too. Cant praise him enough.

I really wonder whether ten Hag, going forward, will have him and Eriksen as our deeper options, focusing his attention on a play-making 10?

Without a doubt. Not having a proper striker has significantly burdened us this season.

Dazzmondo · Apr 8, 2023

Expecting Dyche to change some things for 2nd half. Hopefully we can get an early 2nd goal and put the tie to bed. Casemiro back for next game aswell. Hallelujah!

How has Antony been poor? If you're talking about his finishing then yes, but he's been decent this game.

Not sure how you can disregard a forwards finishing. He has been OK apart from that but wasting two massive chances means he has been poor in my book

edcunited1878 · Apr 8, 2023

Everton have changed into a back 3 after the goal and the balls behind via Bruno will probably be much more difficult. They were poor and United were fantastic, but only 1 goal separates them. Still all to play for and have to keep the focus up and stay on the front foot.

SAFMUTD · Apr 8, 2023

Score the second and it's going to be a massacre, if we don't nervy final minutes warranted.

I think any keeper saves all those shots. United hunting them straight at him hasn't helped.

Yeah I suppose they were telegraphed a bit. A decent right footed winger scores those Anthony chances

That had to be a tongue in cheek post. Bruno has been by far our best player so far.

Or Everton are just a very low-quality side? He has done well with them. They have picked up points in their last 4 games and are out of the relegation zone.

as predicted, dyche has changed things

Refreshing to see no player bashing in the match day thread.

David hasn't misplaced a pass yet

Faetheshire86 · Apr 8, 2023

I've been impressed with Antony. He's got in behind Everton's defence multiple times, something we usually struggle to do. He even went on the outside of a defender and cut it back with his right foot, which many have been crying out for him to do. He's hit the post, forced a good save from Pickford and hit one straight at him from a good position.

I get frustrated with the cut inside and take a speculative shot, but he hasn't really done that today, his attempts have been from decent position and we are seeing more directness from him which is great to see.

Just shows how peoples expectations vary

slored1 · Apr 8, 2023

The ability of our team to create chances in transition is phenomenal. We might be the best in the world at doing that. Makes me question how Weghorst fits into all this and why did we bother purchasing him.

Who's Kissing Cameras? · Apr 8, 2023

Brilliant half. Let’s go!

christinaa · Apr 8, 2023

One of our best games this season till now.
Hope we keep this intensity - although we should be 5 up.

I think it was less than that. Someone at work said it was 8 on target and 7 went in.

Glad we didn't purchase him though. He's on loan and will be gone in the summer when it expires.

Sabitzer has grown on me. I do think he has a lot to offer in this side.

With more goals behind Pickford!

Coleman diving all over the place

How is that a foul by Malacia? Coleman literally just threw himself over the ball
