Look it just was not the same game (my opinion) live, that some on here are describing. KDH was certainly not rubbish, Gueye is losing reaction time, Garner (as someone else said) would make a very good 10, KDH and Armstrong would make 2 good DM's. Watching the game, yet again was the inability to score.
Read this by another poster:
Yes we lost at home 0-1 to man united
Yes Tarks got beaten by pace
(By a young player -who had just come on as a sub)
Yes we were playing players out of position
-but Losing 0-1 is still no disgrace
Despite us still not having a prolific striker, we still had attempts on goal, plenty of action in their area and achieved over 10 corners.
To Blame the manager for all the above is fickle,
We are still in a strong place in the league, and almost at the magical 40 points.
Some of you need to Give it a rest.
You win some, you lose some. -accept it,
Despite the result, We are still going the right way.
And yes, Our home performances do need to improve, there was some woeful passing last night. but they'll know, and they'll acknowledge it.
Get behind the team. -and the manager.

Great post, Dms. To add to it, I think we were the better team for much of the game, and, as usual, the usual culprits made a hash of a couple of good scoring chances.
{Ed025's Note - we had a lot of the ball GB but im not sure that made us the better team mate, as usual our crossing was awful and we would not have scored had we played until Wednesday...especially with the gruesome twosome up front..

You should never be happy losing, regardless of the score or who you are playing. Team selection was again baffling, and I don't care about them acknowledging it when they keep bloody doing it. Moyes's tactics are awful, and what went on with the corners was quite frankly embarrassing. The team make it hard to get behind, given the manager's tactics and team selections.

You hit the nail on the head there, Ed, the gruesome twosome. I think it's time to play Tyrique up front, mate.
{Ed025's Note - i cant see why we cant at least give it a go GB?. we can all see that this just lumping it up to Barry and hoping for the best is not working mate, that is not asking for a miracle its just trying a different approach and thats what irks us all with Moyes that he is so set in stone with the antiquated methods that are holding us back..

I want Moyes to succeed, but he hasn't had enough windows yet. He's going to have to change the team somehow soon if Europe is our goal. If it is, we will need a glut of new players next window, because a lot of our present ones just aren't good enough, mate.

I agree with BMD. I think his tactics and his team selections are poor. I have heard the BBC and our press, whoever it is at Everton's press conference, asking stupid questions like, is the stadium cursed? No, it's not cursed. Unfortunately, we just have a manager who sees the subs bench too late, when the game's dead, and can't tweak his own tactics during the 90 minutes. I respect Moyes, I do, but we all know he won't play youth, so who on earth sanctioned Rohl, Dibling and Aznou again? Gana is a great servant, but he's 36 years old, no way he can last 90 minutes every match, so why can't Rohl get minutes for Gana? But Moyes picks his favourites, that's my opinion.
Why not give these lads game time? Graham as well, he should be getting cameo appearances, but no. Beto and Barry are absolutely shocking, let's be honest. Again, that's on our transfer recruitment team, if there even is one. The question we all need to answer is, do we trust Moyes with money to spend in the summer? Me personally, I don't, and what young prospect would want to join our club when Dibling, George, Rohl and Aznou aren't even getting minutes as it is.

Agreed, Andy. As has been commented previously on this site, Moyes supposedly has final say on all transfers. Why not then back his own judgement and give some of the youngsters signed last summer some proper game time, so at least he can properly evaluate them and decide if they have a future with the club.
Why he didn't prioritise an RB signing in Jan, who knows.
