How we've played since the turn of the year has been reminiscent of the performances we were putting in under Van Gaal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Difference is we were winning the games
Cannot blame Martial if he leaves to be honest
Anyone got the shirt sales stats from tonight? Can't judge Pogba's performance until I see them
Yeah we were. But the difference in performances in the games we weren't winning in the first half of the season compared to now is the most wprrying thing.
It's too laboured. The tactics and, as I worried, the energy levels of the players has contributed to this.

Remember thinking qualifying for Europa league was a bad feeling being so close to CL qualifiers but now its like our season rests on europa league and we need to learn how to finish. I rather Mourinho do what LVG did and get what was it 9th or 10th choice striker to score the goals. Find someone in the reserves who is good in form and put them in. I remember Ashley Fletcher was making noises before although he only has 1 goal at his new club West Ham United at Old Trafford lol.

Can't believe we've been unlucky and had 'of those days' again, those one off days just happen to us so often, we must be the most unlucky team ever.

You've had your fair share of luck over the years.

Yeah you didn't do it first half. First half, your players were too far apart and so couldn't get any rhythm going.
-----------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure what we were trying to do first half and the players didn't look like they had much idea either which again goes back to what I was saying the other day, that the attacking players could benefit from a bit more instruction and more stuctured patterns of play because they look lost at times.
Tonight we were slow and hesitant in transition which gave Everton all the time they needed to recover their shape and get organised. Couple that with what you were saying melton about our players being too far apart especially Rashford and Lingard from Ibra and it was all too easy for Everton.
There's nothing wrong with using Fellaini as a plan B but we turn to it far too early in the 2nd half of games when things aren't going well and it gives the players an excuse to stop playing and just put balls in the box, most of which lack quality and direction.
I'm not sure how anyone can be happy with tonight's performance or how we've been playing recently because I think we've been getting gradually worse since the turn of the year.
If Lukaku had a bit more intelligence about him and was aware of what was around him, Barkley too, Everton would've destroyed us on the counter tonight.
That's a very good assessment TRS. One wonders if Jose is actually coaching our attacking players properly, because since January we've looked disjointed in about 70% of our games.
@TRS
there was discussion before the game about why Lukaku wont get a top club and his vision was basically the reason
Give him ball to feet and he is as good as anyone in that final bit, but too often he just doesnt see people around him
I said during he match that lukaku (and barkley) looks up and its a goal for mirralas or barkley
not sure many will agree but I see that in rashford too. Very good with ball at feet running towards goal but no movement off the ball ala RVN or chicha and no vision.

We're not finishing top four, we're not even creating a hatful of chances at the moment.
It won't be easy but the EL has to take priority now. In the Fixtures home to Chelsea who we never beat, away at City, Arsenal, and Spurs still to come.
Plus the the potentially sticky home games against Swansea and Palace, the calibre of team we've been dropping silly points against.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, did i watch a different game.
Ibra missed a couple of very good chances.
We hit the woodwork twice, and had a goal wrongly disallowed.
Yes we are lacking a cutting edge but to say we arent creating is stupid.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
One occasion we hit the woodwork was a follow up from a free-kick and the other was a shot from outside the box, they were hardly created chances i.e, through good football, moving them around, getting in behind etc.
We actually "created" two chances in 94 minutes, Zlatan's at the start, and his header at the end, either side, we had attempts on goal, but not chances.

@Robb and Dunc
I watched the game in the pub, occasionally dipping in and out of the match thread, and therefore in and out of the game.
Watched the extended highlights online today and we did have more chances/good attempts than I remembered staright after the game, Everton offered very, very little.
Should have won, not by a landslide but 2 or 3-1 certainly would have been a fairer result imo.
That was a krap performance by us and hsf lukaku passed a couple of times Everton had the better chances on the break
Yeah we hit post etc but that performance was rank
