Man Utd vs. Everton(scores included)

O'shea got an assist for one of the goals, he's on 9 points in fantasy premier league. Might work out to be a good first game for me, RVN scores and hopefully a clean sheet for VDS.

Its just like him you know he plays so badly in his actual role, but then he either pops up with a header or an assist.

Top of the league baby, lets keep it that way all season

3 points we dropped last season, not this season!

Chong · 13-08-2005 2:41pm

I am delighted , great start to the new season. We could have easily won by more today, but a goal from both our strikers is just fine. I think Everton played extremely well and had done not enough in the first half to test us, but seemingly they lost that will in the second half. The one thing about this game that brings a smile to my face is that ruud scored.

Guy:Incognito · 13-08-2005 2:42pm

Looks like Everton are back to the cuddley mid table best friend we all know and love

Chong · 13-08-2005 2:44pm

I dont know about that you have to admit they played well today, although you are Liverpool fan so I suppose its understandable. I dont think Mr. Moyes has bought the right players at all, I don think arteta nor Simon Davies have ever impressed me.

Just like they were sure to be relegated after they lost to Arsenal on the first day of last season?

Good performance by United, particularly in the second half. Great goal from Ruud, vintage stuff. Park also looked quite lively throughout.

I didnt see the match, I'm in work. hence the smiley. Everton fans relax. Light hearted banter, Anyway I'm just getting the first dig in before the "european champions me arse" comments come flooding in as soon as Liverpool drop a point.

Chong · 13-08-2005 2:54pm

Oh right you missed a good game, but I think you as Liverpool are most certainly entitled to take the piss outta Everton LOL.

Headshot · 13-08-2005 2:59pm

park had a great game hope he keeps it up

O shea

dont get me started

Chong · 13-08-2005 3:02pm

Park has certainly got something about him, personally when he signed I thought he was simply bought just to sell shirts in Asia but he can play by the looks of him. O'Shea is woeful sometimes I just dont get him and the way he plays at all, he cant defend at all. Although when he plays in midfield he does seem to do better, Heinze is are only viable left back.

Headshot · 13-08-2005 3:08pm

just so impressed by park
looks like fergie has done it again in the transfer market
nice one

Um....aren't you forgetting his assist?
Plus, he seemed grand and solid at left back, and got forward well.

Chong · 13-08-2005 3:26pm

But thats the way with the git, he either gets the assist or the header. Btw he was terrible at left back today it was primarily his fault that cahill got a shot on goal in the first half which VDS saved.

scojones · 13-08-2005 3:59pm

Good game, United looked pretty strong as far as first game of the season goes. Park was very impressive, as was van the man and rooney has lost alot of weight, and seems to have gained some pace too. So happy to see such a great goalkeeper for united. I've loved Van De Saar for years. Reminds me of the Peter Schmeichel days.

what game were you watching

i totally agree with william D

Var de saar had a great game

its a big relieve when you have a great goalie which you can trust

Chong · 13-08-2005 5:55pm

Headshot its basically breaks down as this Necromonicon was assuring himself O'shea did well because he is Irish.

The_B_Man · 13-08-2005 6:00pm

although u might be over critical of him so as not to appear to be giving him credit coz hes Irish. Lets just say he had an average game. He did get forward a few times plus got an assist and he did let cahill let a shot in. But if nobody got a shot in it would be a boring game.

Of course that was it, incidentally, Kevin Kilbane was my man of the match with Keane in at a close second:rolleyes:

Chong · 13-08-2005 6:12pm

Well I would agree then to disagree with the b man his game was average, I apologise Necro but thats how you were comin off.

Draupnir · 13-08-2005 6:23pm

O shea was very sloppy I thought, gave the ball away about 4/5 times very casually. He does get forward very well though and did more good than bad today so fair play to him.

Everton are lacking a creative player in my opinion, they have a good side apart from that, top 8 is very very doable again for them.

theCzar · 13-08-2005 7:28pm

The Yobo brain fart ruined the game (well, for Evertonians anyway I guess). At least Rooney's scored now, that was always the big thing about Utd games for me.

wheres me jumpa · 13-08-2005 8:19pm

just saw the highlights but what i saw i liked. rooney is off to a flyer this year. his improvement and rvn's goals will in themselves be like new signings.

Not a bother! It's probably more of a United thing than an Ireland thing, I'm usually pretty defensive about United players in general. But I really did think he did grand in Heinze's absence. Although in parts last season I think he looked more comfortable in midfield rather than at left back. One standout performance for me was when we played 'boro in the F.A. Cup, he capped it off with a lovely goal too.

Chong · 13-08-2005 8:26pm

Well I support Man United and would call myself pretty die hard and I could see along with everyone else I was watching it with that John O'Shea was simply bad at left back, wheres as he had better game in the second half.

why exactly? :rolleyes:

Anyway.... I think Everton played well today and had united under pressure for most of the first half. They needed to get a goal with all that pressure they were applying but that ball just wouldn't go in... and of course united go up the other end and nick a bloody goal.. typical.

The looked like they were going to come out in the second half and give united a run for their money until yobo hemoraged for a brief second and passed the ball to rooney (perhaps he forgot he was transferred)... Yobo had a great game apart from that, and 'that pass' wasn't something that I'd expect from a player of yobo's calibre. Every tackle before and after that was inch perfect and he played a stormer... Hopefully he learns from his mistake.

I think the way in which the second goal was conceeded took the wind out of everton's sails. I couldn't see them coming back after that. They tried, but united just held onto the ball.

United played well and were looking good. Park is a good player who needs to get used a lot this season. Hopefully for his sake, he does get used and doesn't warm the bench.

And as for people claiming that everton 'are back to their mid-table rightful place'... grow up and analyse the football.... Their display today doesn't point to anything of the sort....
