← Man Utd vs Everton - Reaction to 2-2 draw after late equaliser

Manchester United been held 2-2 by Everton! What is your INSTANT REACTION?

How would you rate United's performance? Where did it go wrong?

nemanjalawrenzo503w ago

United will be perform. Let's be patient

gunadave3w ago

The old ghost came haunting... conceding injury time goals. Inasmuch as it's game plan, it's also psychological. We lack the winning mentality... or rather winners mentality. There's still lots of work for cohesion. We were slow. We lack physicality. Towards the end we were all over. No one's shouting enough. Silent leadership?... SIGH!

dancoombs3w ago

I feel this is the aspect of Casemiro’s exit we will lack. His leadership and toughness. Not sure if any of the three signings bring that

johnzziwaesq3w ago

I have an issue with Tielmans starting he is always calming play even when the team needs to increase temple he remains sluggish passing side ways and this makes Cuhna drop back to midfield leaving a whole upfront forcing Bruno to chase upfront.Again, our two full backs have lost it

rbrown0806503w ago

Tempo too slow; give the ball away too easily; casual defending.

brianmawhinney073w ago

The opposition wingers, especially on their right are getting the freedom of the park from the Utd defence. Look at where Shaw was for a cross. He was close to the penalty spot when Everton's right winger could have had breakfast, lunch and dinner before crossing the ball into the penalty area. For goodness sake can nobody shut down these crosses?

brianmawhinney073w ago

The build up play by Utd is like treacle. Walking the ball out of defence is hopeless. Start playing attacking football or get relegated. Brian Traralgon

geldroper3w ago

We have except Heaven no defensive players who walk the ball out of defense. Maquirre and Martinez are just to slow to make a shot. Have no vision to react quickly

clivelittle743w ago

3 games In & out season is over is it? Give me strength, yes conceding 6 goals in 3 games is not exactly admirable a left back & a centre back should have been signed, there is to much negativity among Utd fans let's have some positivity 3 games in our season is at an end we will have to wait & see on that one.

ericisgod663w ago

Well said!!! I started going when we werent good.. our support got bigger louder. Season after we got relegated. Support louder prouder. Being a supporter is being there when the team needs us. Get behind the team. Be defiant be proud be louder we are part of the Red Army FightFightFight for United cuz we never die

b9ycnmpswq3w ago

Fair point. I thought we were always going to be up against it and kudos to Everton as they never gave up. We need to work better at the other end of the pitch but the team as a whole played well, and once the likes of Baleba and Amad are back in the squad - we will improve. At the moment our biggest concern is the defensive fragility. I can understand why.

ericisgod663w ago

Spot on. Everton were tough fixture. 25/26. 26/27 their start has been gr8..Both equalisers top shelf.They will be hard 2 beat especially @ home. Remember Moyes 1.0. Its true defense needs work.2 e1 disappointed i get it, but the owners r why we r where we r. Support is when its not going well so support & be louder prouder & Glazers Out

andrewmene2k53w ago

Quite disappointing to be honest. Was a gutting end to the game

ifeco4964w ago

The players are so off pace except for Rashford. Cunha is not a 9. Stop this experiment. Would a true no 9 be waiting for his favourite right leg to tap the ball into an empty net after Rashford put it on a plate? It's been a poor summer window really for all the financial mess of previous years

dancoombs3w ago

I agree, his lack of striker instincts was exposed in this moment

alanw474w ago

NO MORE. , NO THANK YOU IVE HAD IT WITH UNITED WHAT WITH CRAP TRANSFER WINDOW SANTOS WHAT A CROCK OF CRAP , THEN THERS BRIGHT ROCK ALL THAT MONEY OUR MONEY FOR WHAT A BLOKE WHO CANT PLAY CAUSE HE GOT AN INJURY , SO TELL ME HOW THE BLOODY HELL DID HE PASS HIS MEFICAL?????! I’m FINISHED…,,

ericisgod663w ago

We are loudest. It isnt about the good times-thats the reward, take it from someone who was started going when we were bad and then we were relegated.....our support only got bigger. We sang louder wore our colours prouder we supported our team. Dont give up. Be louder, prouder. The rewards will come. WE NEVER DIE

ericisgod663w ago

eRI understand your frustration.Santos needs to be given a chance b4 judgement he will prove himself. Tfr window wasnt as hoped & that has a lot to do with debt. Utd dont have $$$ not without adding to debt..BR injury passed medical because its not long term & fully fit price goes up 30mil. Supporter is exactly that support.When times are bad. Thats when we

dundanha4w ago

I cant understand how we blew it in the last 20 seconds ......we should defend better the last moments of the match . Our keeper gad fault in both goals but come October we will be up there with the top 4

barryroberts723w ago

Funny how you say the last 20 seconds that was 20 seconds too long, the ref didn't blow the whistle at 95 mins, as soon as that ball went into the net he knew, and as soon as we kicked off he blew the whistle, they are suppose to give 30 seconds for the goal celebration, he blew from the kick off. We have done it a few times in the past, still not nice.

jeff.dunn11634w ago

Why do we continue to play across the back it's suicidal football....we always get punished

sihall77734w ago

This is going to be a season long problem. United have conceded 6 goals in 3 games, United should have sorted the defence out, even spurs have conceded less. Mid table finish for United and as for Europe 🤣🤣🤣

rbrown0806504w ago

Only 4 pts out of 9 against 3 average teams. 5 points of the pace already. City to come and Title challenge will be all but over by next weekend. Out of the Title race within a month, and Carrick says its not a bad start!

arifsuleman714w ago

Many questions - are preseason hectic games for money worth it if each new season is a mess? Was Carrick better off staying interim as he produced good results then?

thetruthpersonified4w ago

Instant reaction is how there is no change from last season other than the luck has turned. Amorim was tactically woeful, but players looked fitter then. Carrick is another Ole for me with no experience to fall back on. 4 points from Hull, Ipswich and a weakened Everton is appalling with no excuses! Something is missing still from thr United setup.

thetruthpersonified4w ago

I have been consistent in this BTW. I believe coaches need to earn the United job and come to it with enough experience to make it count. Last season we had the Post Amorim bounce, understandably. Now we are seeing the real coaching..

geldroper4w ago

You do not take arashford off when you put Sesko in.Defense was like alwats a mess. Martinez is no good

dancoombs4w ago

Yeah, I’m not convinced at all we needed to make five changes

mufcgrw19774w ago

The equaliser was coming all day long, totally dropped off after that, needed the 9 to come on and he delivered, just knew it wasn’t done as it proved

stephenjholmes14w ago

I believe taking Marcus off was a huge mistake. I feel that as soon as that happened we were totally on the back foot. The best form of defence is attack. We felt like we had no attacking desire after it happened.

barryroberts723w ago

He came off because he felt something, so he was taken off as a precaution so hopefully he is ok for Thurs is not then Sunday, i thought he played well on Sunday.

dundanha4w ago

Agree mate

seanfisher4w ago

That last-minute goal was an absolute dagger. But gives us an extra kick to go and beat City next week

dancoombs4w ago

Not sure we are capable right now

winva20024w ago

Rashford was excellent today, as was Luke Shaw. Overall, we looked good today, but still ended up without points. It hurts. Their goals were beautiful, and you can’t blame the players for the second one we conceded. What bothered me was that we had control and chances, yet we missed when we needed to finish the match. A shame about the 2 points lost.

gandsue20083w ago

Agree apart from one thing No goal against United is beautiful

jihad.dinero224w ago

Link play between the two were top notch but moving ball off that left side to middle no one in sight

ken49.m4w ago

Our defence is shocking shaw at fault for first bruno the second we flatter to deceive

kasbiylillah4w ago

Painful, Rashford coming off made a big difference. Everton finally started coming out to attack.

seanfisher4w ago

Yeah I really wanted to see Rashford stay on.. I think him and Sesko could become a really good partnership for us

vatsal4w ago

Moyes was happy to use James Garner then Maitland-Niles at RB once Rashford came off. Carrick needs to learn that NOBODY is scared of Dorgu at LW. It's a joke.

sihall77734w ago

Really poor performance from United and the ref, let the occasion get the better of them 2 shots on target in second half isnt good enough, this team cannot defend a lead, get real.

vatsal4w ago

This is a scared team always wondering what might go wrong, instead of ensuring things go RIGHT

james.brooke4w ago

About right on balance and an indication of where United will be this season. A fine point really

barryroberts724w ago

Pathetic, Rubbish we will do nothing playing like that, we score a great goal then sit back why? and Lammens why didn't he catch the ball instead of punching it nobody was near him, we pass across the middle, pass it back why? every team play to score more goals, we don't, we sit back and hope we get a 2nd.

rayjud3w ago

Lammens is inconsistent, very poor positioning and lacks the winning mentality. Over rated, and no better than another weak keeper we put out to pasture. Watching Arsenal and Chelsea earlier yesterday, showed what good keeping is all about. Good thing Pickford was off his game or we would not have even tied the game.

kilham.max3w ago

Same old United! Lack the mettle to close out games.

mahomediyoop4w ago

It's unfortunate how Mazroui cleared the ball straight to Mainland Niles. United will bounce back for sure.

thehayneses4w ago

It's not unfortunate. it's basic defending. That ball should have been in row J and being chased down by 2/3 "defenders' who were all hiding in the box. An absolute disgrace.

gls4manu4w ago

We need to understand how to close out a game. Get the ball in or near the opponents corner flag, Not in our own half passing to each other and then loosing the ball.

jonathan.gorrie4w ago

Painful, that. Far too passive

jihad.dinero224w ago

I was waiting for the flood of our players going forward in counter but nothing cunha half time on ground while bryan and marcus feeds ball no one in middle to attack incoming feeds

vatsal4w ago

Sickening. Game management is a problem. Can't account for wonderstrikes but we play like we're scared something will go wrong, ALWAYS.

dancoombs4w ago

Six goals conceded in two games. Not good enough

jihad.dinero224w ago

Also felt something was off today like they where scared of counter of some sorts

stephenjholmes14w ago

Sometimes you have to just accept the point. We weren't good enough to get anything more from the game. Wonder strike by Naitlen-Niles, but we never looked like we were in control. Grelish changed the game. Just glad he didn't start.

mohan183104w ago

Hackney came in & he played well , another one we missed out

dancoombs4w ago

The thing is when the fixtures came out I thought maybe this is a draw, fine. After losing to Hull we are behind the curve and looks like we will be playing catch-up for a while. Got to beat City next weekend

adnan.riaz4w ago

Horrible. Hated that ending so much. Seriously sucks.

cheveuxblanc7474w ago

The United KEEPER is the problem. Something need to be done at this stage

seanfisher4w ago

So harsh on Lammens, couldn't do much about either of those goals!?

jihad.dinero224w ago

No not keeper min they took off rashford it all died down and l will say it a million times over do not start Cunha upfront rather bryan and use dorgo

dancoombs4w ago

Feels awful. We should have won that. Their two goals were really good but we’ve got to start shutting out games 😡 Four points from our first three is a terrible return
