Quote from: Look-Up! on November 24, 2025, 10:54:22 PMI actually thought Utd might get something from the game but last 10 minutes were shocking TBH. Everton were there for the taking but Utd never turned the screw. In fact intensity dropped and Everton probably had as much of the ball for last 6 or 7 minutes and looked more likely to score.

Hard to believe 1 or 2 injuries can upset a team that much. Zirkzee not near good enough. Whatever about converting chances his hold up play and general passing is so sloppy.
The lack of intensity was the most notable aspect. United of old would have had Everton's players heads spinning with the bombardment.
Yeah it was perfectly poised for a 2-1 or 3-1. Had Everton conceded you felt they would have crumbled.

United are poor, nothing changed too much from last year

Yep if he started Mount instead of Mazroui play him as a 10 and moved Amad to RWB i think they'd have won

Not sure lumping high ball in on top of that Everton defence was the right idea all the same.

Yes, Zirkzee got a good header away once, but with all the possession Utd had Everton dealt pretty comfortably with most of the high ball threw in there just like they did when up at Sunderland who specialise in the long throws etc into the box.
Keane, Tarky and O'Brien are not small lads.

Poor wee Seamy, only lasted 10 minutes due to injury, the lad has no luck, but I suppose he was the right person to have the first words with Gueye when he arrived into the changing room not long after.
The face on Moyes as he quickstepped to the changing rooms at half time was choice. I'd not liked to have been Gueye when he got in.
TBH he had a point with Keane not reacting at all to his pass, but you can't be slapping the big fecker on the face right in front of the ref..

Everton have bought/loaned well this summer, Dewsbury-Hall and Grealish are marked improvements from Doucoure and Onana (who is doing pretty well at Villa in fairness) and that allows Ndiaye to stay further up the field to work his magic.

Still need a decent striker although big Barry did his best to hold up the ball and get flick ons, something Beto failed to do in the last 10 minutes.

Beto is clean useless. Team doing very well considering they've not got a striker anywhere near top level at all.

Good to see Moyes turning the tide a bit at Everton. Quiet unassuming but very steady manager proving that you can sometimes go back. Drama never far away in PL of course but him and Everton seem a good fit.

Yeah Moyes has Everton going well. If they had a decent striker like a Lakaku when he was with them then they would be challenging for Europe. But over half the league are crying out for a decent striker. The one position that the quality seems to be diminishing year on year. Don't make em like they used to.

Yeah it's pretty mad alright. Ivan Toney of a couple years ago would be perfect for them. Today another story, more of a punt than a big investment given his history.

Lets be honest the league is as mediocre as last year however supporters of the one consistent team (Arsenal) are unlikely to be as irascible as Liverpool supporters was this time last season when it was pointed out to them.

The one improvement on last season is we might get a relegation battle this season.
