Goodamn! Our strikers really need to work on their dribbling.

Shame the fixture list has done Everton. Having to balance the Europa League with playing the top sides away from home and all these new signings needing to gel...
It could've been a lot smoother.

Fucking hell! Mhiki stop over dribbling and play in Lukaku for fuck's sake!
Not just that tbf. Koeman brought in no speed at all.

Pickfords accuracy on long balls is ridiculously good. Everton are terrible though, look better than they did against Atlanta though.

True, we've got Coleman and Bolasie who would add so much to this team. It was probably Koeman banking on getting something from this team until then, it's just incredible how little they've shown after the first 2 games.

Our crossing accuracy is shit

That's one way to look at it!
What's the other way?

Cotdam Valencia took that so well.
It truly is the year of the Manchesters.

United need to stop with the crosses and play through the middle s there are some massive pockets there. Though I'm happy with them playing down the flanks as it limits them from scoring any more.

Boring fucking game, united are trash as well.

Valencia, Young and Matic should be the only players allowed to cross from wide positions. All other wingers should be encouraged to dribble the ball into the box.
I said it before the season started, trying to replace a star player (especially your top scorer) with a load of squad buys rarely works. They might improve towards the end of the season or next year but they'll finish below 7th this season and Koeman will probably get the sack.

Couldn't come back here after that LOLkaku miss. Awful.
Everton are complete shit and this United side are going to regret not being like 3-0 up. Rashford and Mhiki have been shit.

I just think that Mhiki isn't cut out to play the 10 position. He works better on the wing. Wouldn't mind seeing him switch with Mata in the formation.
lol it's like they forget what city the team they're supporting is from

I mean Koeman did try to replace Lukaku, Giroud was the main target but turned us down to stay in London warming a bench. Everton did need additions in the areas they've got them in, GK, CB, AM and extra cover in a Europa League campaign.
I mean, United have opened them up fair bit and are only not winning by more because of their own stupidity.My extra-biased way.
Everton have been OK after the opening 10 minutes.
He's got the most assists in the league and he doesn't even play for City, so that might be a little harsh.

I'm watching the HT highlights and there was only one missed shot shown from both teams. Pickford didn't have a save to make that was possible to save (shut up Neville).
I'm not saying Everton have played well and are going to win the game, but I don't know where this "Lolkaku if United had a good CF it'd be 4-0" is coming from...

Everton's defence is trash. Mhiki and Rashford have been bumbling final passes and making mistakes that could've led to goals.
GoldenCrow

I wouldn't say they are trash but they are certainly missing the intelligence in play to take advantage of their opposition in the final third. Look far too rigid and do the same thing over and over which doesn't look threatening.
#freemartial
I love that United keeps trying to score goals by crossing the ball where anyone besides Ashley Young can't cross even if their life depended on it. One of Valencia's cross ended up outside of the penalty box near Matic...
This is why United has no chance whatsoever of contending against City this season.

Time for Martial now. Rashford has been lower league tier today.

We're so fucking wasteful today...
No United fans think that. But we keep getting told how shit he is, so an injury should help.

There's surely not a person alive that thinks that?

Blame it on the boots
Maybe not here, but on twitter it's a very popular theory... This thread is maybe more other teams supporters that think that.
Have you read this thread before?

Lingard. Mou going for the draw.
Not like Lingard is going to do anything either.
