Compared to previous years - yes.
This is just like we played so many times last year, pit a pat football, no cutting edge - we may as well not have had the summer off.
Erm no.
Season before (10/11) - 78
86 season before
68 the year before
80 the year before.
From what I saw, we were poor at the back, no surprise. Nani was his usual ridiculous self. We missed out for having Valencia so far back. Nani should be nowhere near that team.
Just because you do an impression of Cristiano Ronaldo when you take a freekick doesn't mean the similarities extend beyond the 'standing' position.
Pick on me al you like. I have had a season ticket at OT since 1989 and am entitled to my opinion. The way the team plays now is poor compared to the feasts that I have seen. I find it disappointing to say the least.
Statistics tell you one thing but quality is another and this team (as selected this evening) will not finish in the top four.
Ah well a loss is a loss, Everton were better. Saying that though Everton are a pretty good team, if anything I actually had us down as a draw for that game but oh well.
That game had a feeling of a cup game, what with Everton keeping everyone in there own half after scoring and Jelovic with his arms up awaiting the final whistle. Strange atmosphere.
Congrats Everton, good luck with the season.
Some of the Official Man United facebook group comments will be hillarious tonight, so many fairweather fans moaning lol

Oh are we really starting this rubbish after the first game of the season?

Wonder how many have been moaning and fair-weather since 1989

Well done Everton. From what I saw they really went for it and defended well.
That wasn't too bad a defeat. There's a couple of our players that won't play that badly again, we had a makeshift defence, tried to work them and our midfield passing was crisp. Bit worried about Nani and Wellbeck from the comments on here and the way Scholes was easily bullied from what I saw. But nothing to get too down about.

You are entitled to your opinion. I am entitled to point out just how stupid it is. And given this team is nowhere near full strength (RVP on bench, Carrick & Valencia out of position, 4 centre backs injured) we will improve.

2011/12, we scored 89. 89. 89!
Shame we didn't go with orthodox players at the back rather than unorthodox experience.
Only the first game, but there's some excitement absolutely smashed.
FERGIE OUT
OJ! We had to loose some time hopefully onwards and upwards now.
I NEED to get SkyGo. I saw hardly any of the second half. Irritating as balls
I guess I may eat my words
Wow, starts early this year.
You didn't miss much
..Wow, you're turning into Arsenal.

Christ.
Says it all and I'm sure mimics several game stats from last year. Possession without an end product is useless
It's as inevitable as the new Fergie Out thread
Terrible tactics. Overplaying, too many touches, no direct threat.
Early days, and playing two midfield players in defence.
So benefit of the doubt. But that was shocking.
More frustrating, I suppose.
Get the ball in the f**king box.
Well played Everton. Some great performances and a well deserved win.

We will get much better.
