It's funny that the Arsenal/Liverpool/City fans conveniently missed something that went against United, yet jumped on Hernandez the second he was in the wrong.

I mean, we got a free-kick for it, so it wasn't difficult to miss.

Nobody wants to mention the intentional elbow on Hernandez?

We've named our strongest squad possible but we'll still miss Rooney. Reckon we might sneak a win but wouldn't be surprised to draw.

No Fellaini at all and Zaha on the bench.

Not sure if confirmed:

De Gea, Rafael, Evans, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Jones, Cleverley, Januzaj, Hernandez, van Persie.

You might have been able to argue that before the start of the season, but not at the moment.

But why waste £40 million on a position we're well stocked in, when we're in need of players in other positions?

It was literally just explained.

In all seriousness, we've got a chance. Playing Costa Rica in the last game helps.

Spot on. Regarding Fellaini it's also worth pointing out that he is playing with an injury.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Anyway, fucking bring on Arsenal.

We should sell Baines to Man United, Get what we can for him and throw that money at Chelsea for Lukaku...

With Oviedo's performance last night, that'd probably be the best option for Everton.

Despite our possession we rarely threatened, only from set pieces. We played 4-4-2 which we should never, ever do. It doesn't work. We were uninspired and played poorly. Moyes took off Rafael and put Tony at right back, despite the obvious fact being he isn't a right back, and we conceded a goal from the right back position.

We weren't great, but played better than you're suggesting. We were the better team in the first half, and there was a period in the second in which Everton couldn't get out of their own half. They defended deep at times which we struggle with, and they did it well.

If we'd have scored from the right-hand side, Moyes would be praised for moving a more attacking player to right-back - it at least showed he was going to win the game, which he's been criticised for not doing before. Although I found it odd 'cos Rafael is a pretty attacking full-back himself. Maybe wasn't fully fit or something.

We were poor in the final third 'cos Valencia was shit and Welbeck isn't fit, and Kagawa obviously playing on the left. Don't know why Januzaj didn't start.

Need Carrick back asap, and to play with Jones in the middle until we buy someone else.

We definitely didn't deserve to win, we were so bad it was laughable. If you don't laugh you cry.

Fellaini hasn't shown any sign of improvement since joining, he's stayed incredibly average.

As for Moyes, again he still has my support, it'd be pathetic not to stand by him. However, last night everything went completely wrong. And there are no excuses.

Eh? We weren't even that bad. Rooney's deflected shot could have gone in but hit the post, Welbeck hit the bar. On another day we could have been 2/3-0 up before Everton scored.

Fellaini played well too. Probably his best game, which isn't saying much mind.
