Baird of the land

Get in. Was frustrated that we hadn’t got the ball into the box once they went down to 10. Lovely to get a set piece goal finally. Felt we deserved something though Fernandes/Rashford/martial combo were very dangerous. United need work in midfield imo. great spirit from the team again today, would have been easy to wilt at 2-1.

Bit worried at how much we want to muck about with silly sideways passes around our area today. walkers needs hooking. Get hojberg in at fullback again. When we press their defensive we’ve caused them problems. Like to get a few more shots in if anything. Disappointed that Redmond tried to pass at the end there when the ball fell to him in space on the edge of the box. it was fun watching how disinterested Pogba b3came when saints were harrying him. Shame Adams chose the wrong end ball on the breakaway.

Walker peters having a mare of a game.

If JWP isn't a penalty then that isn't either

Not sure it was handball but thought it was probably obstruction on Reina

Yeah Mina seemed to do a mime, I assume of a fairy.

Still seems very important to how we play under Ralph. Still think he was linking up well yesterday, just the final part not quite happening. If he'd taken a couple of the chances he's worked for himself post lockdown there would be a different perception

Curious, normally would the team stay in North West in this sort of situation? Assuming they had to head back to Southampton in current climate?

I thought it was soft but then there's plenty of soft penalties given that don't earn premier league rebuke for some reason.

VAR works so well that the day after they can get the penalty decisions right.

I'm much happier with a lean squad.

Surely that's a foul by Fernandes if anything

away point to Everton isn't to be sniffed at, especially given we missed a penalty. We played well. Second half everton adapted to play like an away side against us but I still think we shaded the half. Could have done with boufal or djenepo. Don't get the point of referees and VAR. the bednarek thing is either a red or good tackle, nothing in between, Bednarek gets the ball but gets booked and they get a free kick. Var looks and decides even though he got the ball all that means is that its not a red card offence. That's garbage, lucky they didn't score from the dangerous free kick position.

Frustrating after playing so well to be 1-1. Been very enjoyable watching us slice them apart though. Ings amazing again. felt they always felt a threat going forward with richarlison, very poor defending by bednarek to make it easy for him though.

Amazon prime masquerading as Everton tv.

Maybe we can get a newly promoted team like Leeds to buy Gunn.

I’m hoping we at least get to 50 pts. to get top half we might need 4 wins out of 5 which is probably a stretch.

A few years ago I think most would of scoffed at notion of JWP as the hard tackling engine room of the midfield. He seems to have the right work ethic which has given him the chance to emerge as a real force in that position. With the Euros delayed he must have a real shot of making the England squad if he keeps this level up into next season.

Don't get the Wilson fascination. He's looks a fairly limited player who is good at set pieces(something he wouldn't get to take at Saints)

Like the fact we've gone away from plain stripes to a sash for a year. Both home and away kits look nice to me. I'll probably get one.

Wonder how much it would cost to get buendia from Norwich in the summer.

Everton not even seeming to care about losing. no doubt they’ll rebound against us though.

Holgate off injured. Is that Him out I wonder.

Don't see the value in loaning him back there. Surely another promoted club would be interested in purchasing him even if Fulham aren't promoted, a bit like the Targett situation

Another class performance from Stephens. A player who looked so talented but it seemed wasn't going to channel it into consistent 90 minute displays but this season has blossomed. Immense effort by the players and great opportunism by adams. That's certainly one way to get off the mark at a new club. Slightly surprised we didn't freshen the midfield up with Djenepo at some point.
