The teams are out and RVP can only make the bench for tonight's game
Everton
Howard, Hibbert, Baines, Jagielka, Distin, Neville, Gibson, Osman, Pienaar, Fellaini, Jelavic
Bench
Mucha, Heitinga, Coleman, Barkley, Naismith, Gueye, Anichebe
United
De Gea, Evra, Vidic, Valencia, Carrick, Nani, Scholes, Cleverley, Kagawa, Rooney, Welbeck
Bench
Lindegaard, Rafael, Wootton, Anderson, Young, Berbatov, Van Persie
It looks like Valencia will be playing right back and Carrick will be playing alongside Vidic
The Little League World Series is still going on after a rain delay between Nebraska and Germany.... the Cornhuskers are winning 17 zip... in the second inning!
It says that the it will continue on another channel at game time
Surprising that Berbatov is on the bench and no Hernandez... wonder what is with that
Someone tweeted on the BBC that Berbs is on the bench because he is the cover for center back
I would have liked to see Powell on the bench
I would have liked to see Powell on the bench
Everton have three ex United players in their line up... be nice to us
Everton to kick off.. and away we go
Wonder what Ashley Young thinks about being on the bench
Nanni should have done better there!
Nani lost his rag about not getting a corner and yells at the ref.. he then jumps in on a tackle.. not much contact but in the book after 2 minutes
Scholes looking out if it right now
Kagawa should have turned in the box but takes his time and then wastes a cross
Scholes with a volley from outside the box... not his best.. of the shin
Ooh ahh Cantona being sung in the stands... every game
11 minutes and no real chances. United are on top slightly
Rooney doesn't seem to have improved!
He loses the ball with bad control when trying to do a one-two with Cleverley
Scholes with a stupid foul the top of the box on Gibson
In the book... is he just not too smart or does he mean to do it
Fellani gets past Carrick and hits the post from an acute angle
Rooney still doesn't look like he is any good !!
Kagawa speaks no English
Welbeck should have done better with two bites of the cherry.. both blocked
As I said
Luke Minors on Twitter: "Don't think Rooney has played particularly well for several months now. He seems to lose the ball almost every time he has it."
Maybe more
Good move by Everton and get a corner from shot by Jelevic
Decent save by De Gea from the corner after a punch
Free kick chance to United by the D
Roon makes Howard make a save.. going wide anyway
10 minutes to go til half ... not much happening in a quick paced match
Roon with a turn and shot... right at Howard
ooh, great pass by Kagawa to Welbeck and shot just wide
ESPN have the Chelsea Reading match on Wednesday
Osman with a great shot on the turn well saved by De Gea
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Jacob Lockey on Twitter: "United's new shirt belongs on the top of a table..."
Bob Moston on Twitter: "Do Everton think it's February? They're not meant to be this good in August!"
Cleverley needs to improve his shooting
Another weak shot by him
United don't look as dangerous as they should
Pace is okay so far but not much penetration
Free kick chance for the Toffees as a harsh call on Vidic
Baines with a great shot and saved again by De Gea
United have had a few decent chances but De Gea has kept United in the game
Two added minutes of the half
Great cross by Kagawa to Roon... HOPELESS header!!!
GET HIM OFF!
That's it
Half time and still scoreless.... off for walkies... I'll be back
I'm back after a very short walk... started to rain!!!
They are back for the second half... no changes so far
Away we go
COME ON YOU RED!
When will RVP make his debut?
Rooney with an absolutely horrible cross
Good to have Vidic back!
OFF THE BAR FROM OSMAN!!!
United lucked out there... underside of the bar
United break and Welbeck has no pace to get in the space found by Kagawa
Not happy with Welbeck or Rooney's performances
They don't seem to be able to pass, control, run, dribble or shoot...other than that...ok
ESPN haven't had luck with goals so far this season
145 minutes with nowt
Roon with another hopeless shot
Kagawa made a good run and Roon hits row W
Goal... to Everton!
An easy header by Hair Bear Bunch from a corner.
Carrick can't cope with him
57 minutes gone
RVP gets off the bench to warm up.. I would take off Rooney but I know it will be Welbeck
USELESS cross by Nani!!!
Valencia makes an overlapping run... and he does that
Goodison fans are rocking the house with their singing
Corner to United
useless.. doesn't beat the first man
Everton win two headers in the box...saved by De Gea
Roon is marking Jags and loses and Carrick loses to Hair Bear
Phil McNulty, BBC Sport Chief Football Writer at Goodison Park
"Goodison Park is rocking as Everton really put Manchester United on the rack. The goal was thoroughly deserved and the source was predictable. United have not been able to cope with Marouane Fellaini."
Pat Nevin, BBC Radio 5 live
"The problem Manchester United have is that Everton are bigger than them. Everton have four players who are fantastic in the air and United haven't got as many."
Useless again by Rooney... a useless five yard pass puts Scholes under pressure
BUGGER
JAGS SAVES OFF THE LINE FROM CLEVERLEY!
Roon crosses to Nani but he fails to get to the ball
HERE COMES RVP!
He replaces Welbeck
Come on Robin...just like Sotton yesterday!
RVP first touch is a useless corner...doesn't beat the man at the front post
Bit of an office debate breaking out here - why didn't Belgium qualify for the Euros?
In Fellaini, Mignolet, Courtois, Van Buyten, Kompany, Vertonghen, Hazard, Lukaku, Vermaelen, Dembele, Witsel and Mirallas they must have enough quality.
Is this the golden generation of Belgians?
RVP's second touch is another corner... better but still cleared easily
20 minutes to go plus stoppages
Jevelic had some blood on his shirt so he had to change shirts... one with no number!
They don't have more than one #7??
GO TO THE MEGA STORE!
Corner to United... doesn't beat the first man AGAIN
Hopeless by Nani trying to pass to Evra
Young gets right up on the bench
I don't think RVP has touched the ball other than the corners
Everton really sitting back... COME ON
REMEMBER THE 4-4
ABSOLUTELY HOPELESS BY NANI
HORRIBLE CROSS STRAIGHT OUT
Fergie is bringing him off
Under 15 to go
RVP playing deep on the left and crosses straight to Howard... another striker playing left wing!
Nani is now being replaced by Young
Roon to take a corner... why do our strikers take our corners... aren't they supposed to score?
Nice pass by RVP to Kagawa.. almost in!
Bugger
Ashley Young's pass to Evra was Nani-like
HOPELESS
United are in 16th of the table as it stands now
Last 10 minutes
Now it is a useless pass from Evra for an overlap
I am becoming very negative again!
BUT I can't help it!
Evra tries to beat a man and kicks it out of bounds
United have lost the ability to make an overlapping run or pass
United don't look too rushed
Anderson on for Cleverley... not exactly a goal scoring threat
United's wing play has been horrible today
United just passing around the outside of the box... never getting in.... then Young crosses... right to Howard... HOPELESS
United are clueless... they have no invention to get it into the box.. this is atrocious
Everton have a free-kick after a pull of shirt by Vidic
Into the 90th minute and 4 minutes of added time
Useless cross by Valencia
Evra with a hopeless effort..
Anderson then has an even worse effort
3 minutes to go
Another substitution by Everton Hair Bear off
Just to waste time.. this rule has to be changed
United have had no cutting edge... it is like last season... I AM NOT A HAPPY CHAPPY
One last corner to United..Young to take... cleared
United still have no urgency... HORRIBLE
United deserve the loss... it was past the 94th minute and they were still not getting the ball in the box
SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE!!!
Very depressing start to the season... they never looked like scoring! Rooney was his usual hopeless self but no one else was much better
Take care boys
It can only get better
TTFN
Sorry about the result, mate. Very disappointing for you lot. But it's a long season and you're bound to have better days. Thanks for keeping the chatter going today.
I second that. Great job UWS.I recorded the match and watched it as soon as I got home and was extremely disappointed. United were slow and predictable. Only Kagawa , Scholes, and De Gea cam out of this match with any credit.Despite dominating possession, Everton deserved to win.United will need a 180 degree u turn if they are to entertain any hopes of wrestling the title from Citeh.
