Joelinton is much better with the ball than Longstaff. Not today mind, but ordinarily .

At least we don't have any injury crisis of forward players.....

Seem to have started this half as bad as the first one!

Good sub.

Murphy is on the pitch remember. Big Jo has been worse than his usual self but that's all.

That should be a penalty all day, sorry to say. Someone in Black and white could well be off here. Edit: okay, maybe not, he goes down really easy.

His left foot doesn't allow that sort of thing.

If only Murphy had a decent touch, pass, more physicality and some talent he'd be actually be alright.

Fuck, that's 2 Bruno has put a few cm past the post.

Need to score again sharpish! We are all over them and they can't do fuck all about it right now.

Why the hell didn't Miggy shoot just then!! He's done it before that would've been identical to his Fulham goal.

Should be 2, dragged that painfully wide.

Darren Eales must've flew over the software update for Almiron with him.

Murphy has now lost the ball 4 times in 30 minutes. That's criminal in a game like this.

He isn't the only one. No one has done anything of note. Poor all round.

But nothing else so far unfortunately. Been a poor 25 minutes from everyone on the pitch. Can't get any worse at least.

No just Man Utd who seem to throw themselves to the floor at every opportunity.

Slow, sloppy not really stringing anything together so far. Need to up it.

Cos they've got no hair and are too old for baseball caps.

Feel bad for Targett. But then I'd probably feel bad for Burn if he missed out as well so it's a no win situation for Howe really, he'll disappoint one of them regardless what he does.

Nervous, more to lose. No reasonable expectation against Man Utd but pretty high expectation that we should be winning this. Doubt the players will feel the same though, they will know what they are capable of and they are much better than this average Everton team. Just need to prove it beyond all doubt now.

Doubt we see Shelvey in either of these next 2. From what Howe said he's not really ready yet.

Can't see Everton scoring. No one in that team worries me in the slightest. Gordon is overrated, Gray is one dimensional, McNeil is one of the worst wingers I've seen live in the Prem and Maupay is just a short, French Chris Wood. There is a reason they've scored the 3rd fewest goals in the league. We need to take our chances, Wilson has to get back scoring in this surely. If we lose or draw, it'll all be on us not doing what we need to.

Shame ASM isn't available to go up against Coleman, I reckon that would've been somewhat one-sided. Atleast Murphy will have him for pace though, won't count for much if Evertone are planning in sitting deep all game though.

Best XI possible needs to be out for this one. Not only because its at home against Everton but because its the next game coming up. Talk of who should start against Spurs can wait until after we've won this game.
