That was never a yellow to be fair, soft fk but the ref has some making up to do
Manchester United v Everton
- Thread starter RonaldoVII
- Start date
Agree.
Unbelievable how blatantly anti-United he is. Almost trying to not say" I hate Man United"
We only seemed to come alive after Everton scored. Dunno what 'strategy' United thought they were employing but going for broke seems to work a lot better than what we saw for the majority of the 1st half...
Maybe the players wants a title decider on the 30th.
Really? He's been dire.
What happened? I must have missed it.
I don't know what you're watching
Still feel we'll win this.
I like him too, seems a good guy.
Shoulder barge with Distins right arm? Rewind and watch it over, Val was getting away and he pushes him, feck Distin anyway, he's a strong lad and he's prone to using that a bit too much to his advantage, a certain FA Cup Quarter Final springs to mind.
Not a bad half. Everton are doing well. Rooney and Nani have done great as has Carrick. Val needs to get into the game. Welbeck has to bulk up, for a striker he is pushed away too easily
He really hasn't, took a bit of time to get into the game much like our whole team. 2 brilliant crosses one leading to a goal and the second nearly contributing to a goal just on half time. He's slowly getting back to form, but he's certainly not been a class above, none of our players have.
I thought he's been ok, working hard.
Ref's a joke. They were hacking us to pieces and he gives nothing, then Distin brushes his arm on Valcencia's back - foul and yellow card.
Nani is playing very well. Rooney is doing ok. The rest need to step it up.

The match. You?
We're gonna have to put ten men behind the ball and defend for our lives at City next week. Even if we somehow win today - and for that we need drastic improvement as we're not creating chances at all and can't get the better of Everton in any area of the pitch -, a defeat there would still be reason to be nervous with Swansea and Sunderland coming up afterwards.
Is Evra given special instructions not to even attempt defending ?
He always works hard, that doesn't mean he's playing well.
Mike Jones have been reading the papers.
Well he's been a class above all of our other players on the pitch, except Rooney.
It was a foul. The ball was knocked forward. A shoulder barge is only legal/allowed if the ball is within playing distance.
It wasn't even a foul.
Valencia had knocked it forward and was running towards it. Distin pushed him off. It was a foul.
Don't worry Man City are screwed later against Wolves...
Thought Carrick was very good. Welbeck not been bad either.
No, it wasn't. Both players just barged into each other and Valencia happened to be the one who fell over.
Do you watch the same game as everyone else?
Why the lack of intensity? We're playing in slo-mo. Just glad we've got a goal back before HT but, frankly, we've been a crock of shit.
That wasnt as bad as the tackle on Rafael, but he was past distin and running into open space. Not really the worst decision in the world.
Why is that freekick such a big issue? 1) Nothing came of it anyway, 2) we should have had a penalty when Rafael was kicked.
We need to pick up the pace a bit more. Valencia has had no joy out on the right, needs to pick up his game. Likewise with Welbeck.
Carrick has been ok, just not great for his standards is all. He's not having a bad game per-say, I just expect a lot from him of late.
Valencia didnt go running into Distin. Distin ran into Val.
He's starting to bloody remind me of crouch, good feet but awkward and shit balance.
This has got banana skin written all over it. Typical early kick off performance, both from the players and the fans. Everton looking far more of a threat. Nani our main bright spot.
He usually has Young defending for him. Without him, he looks even worse than before defensively.
Not too bad in the end. The goal gave us a wake up call and spurred us on to play better. We look in control of the match now and if it stays like this I think we'll win.
Do the players usually start the early kick off games this bad? I think it happened a lot over the years.
Might try to get up earlier on the morning?

Not at his best but clearly he has been our most dangerous and Rooney has got into it as well.
Not really saying much though, we were rubbish till Everton took the lead.
