Big deal for Manu
Boss Jose Mourinho, despite his operates Zlatan Ibramovic saving the day and
rescuing a point that at the end became the game saver.
After a match taken
out of the Toffees grasps and in injury time the locals scored the equalizer that
both squads had to settle for the tie.
However, for the Red Devils,
seeing a perfect run without knowing the meaning of defeat and raising it to
twenty, the oddity is that these points have come out of draw matches.
Still for the Portuguese,
once again seeing his side give away valuable points, at the conclusion of this
match, his face could tell a thousand words and seeing an annoyed man failing
to add points in their quest of assuring a spot in Champions League.
In just a few simple
words for Mou this tie was not a matter of adding points but pure disappointment.
As we are all aware
of these Derbies between Everton and Manu, these time nothing for nobody and
maybe next year each one will have to wait to try to get the best of each
other’s.
In a match were the
local Trafford Boys total domination and the tale of the tape showing off a total
control of the match with a 61.5% possession, 85% passing accuracy, 90% tackles
and 18 shoots on goals.
The Red Devils
offense is one that so far has lacked the touch to put the game away.
Everton last weekend
loss in the Merseyside Derby against Liverpool, Manager Ronnie Koeman put all
of his initial eleven in the field and with his best pieces as if he was in a
chess match, in his desire to check mate United.
Seeing his
satisfaction with an early lead and silencing the Theater of Dreams in the 22
minute via an Ashley Williams combination to set up the early goal for Phil
Jagielka for the 1-0 lead.
After that, the United
crew started their moves towards the Academy of Science posts defended by keeper
Joel Robles that saw his luck turn for the best thanks to the posts that
deterred the shoots of Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba.
Alongside an offside
call when the referee ruled out an Ibra header that could been the difference maker
in this match.
At the end, the Manchester
11 lacked drive and ambition that could help them get out of that fatidic
record of nine draws and six wins at home and with both squad sending a 4-3-3
formations, still the lack of goals became evident, to a tie of one goal apiece.
Despite both squads
sent a frontal attack of Ibra, Rashford and Lingard versus the Blues Barkley,
Mirallas and Lukaku, many thought of an all-around match filled with a load of fireworks.
Both squads’ backfields
stepped up and played with such a stingy approach that at the end the result speaks
in the final score, when United substitute Luke Shaw not marked proved the play
that earned Ross Williams the red card
and penal.
Regardless of the score
and the points divided, the Manu still in fifth place with 54 points and four
behind their cross-town foes Man City, and Everton in seventh place tied with
Arsenal with 51 points.
For Mourinho his work
at United was not an easy one and to turn this club to its old self will be a
work of several years, in particular, the Portuguese has already delivered two
shields and United being an all-around favorite to win Europa League.
