No matter the result, United is back and is a title contender.
Not sure what has made the big difference, the manager?

That, but also signings. Biggest thing holding back United last year was midfield. McTominay and Fred as a pivot are NOT PL starters. Erikson and Casemiro have made a world of a difference for that squad. Also why the attack has looked better too. I wanted Chelsea to go after Erikson so bad over the summer. We have the same problems.

Every time I watch Antony play for United, I just get underwhelmed. He’s got great footwork and skills but unless the balls at his feet he just looks so uninterested in the game. He’s got 3 goals in 11 matches, so it’s not like he’s terrible, but idk… United fans on Twitter seem fed up too.

I see a change at the top of our FPL for the first time in weeks. There are 3-4 players that everyone has, but those low owned differentials make a huge difference. Glad we started a league this year.

I’ve enjoyed it, thanks for organizing it.

Everton deserves better given their history. They have had like a dozen or so managers in the last 10 years it seems. They need to nail this hire and hope new manager bounce keeps them out of relegation zone.

Hate it for him but he wasn’t getting the job done. He really needs to think about his next move. I just don’t think he’s a great all around manager, but one thing I thought he did well at Chelsea was develop young talent. He was kind of forced to with the transfer ban which he then brought in and leaned on Mount, James and Abraham, but all 3 adapted well and a lot of the credit went towards Frank. I’m sure it was a staff effort, but I’d love to see him in a role that lets him develop talent without worrying about Xs and Os so to speak.

Probably the most important hire in the history of the club.

@bleedorange0037 any ideas on who they may target?

No idea, and no idea if changing the manager even matters right now. The club is so fundamentally rotten down to it’s core that a change in whoever is on the sideline is unlikely to make a huge difference. The squad is still completely unbalanced and well below PL standard. The board and the supporters are locked in a toxic civil war that hangs over everything. A £750M stadium is halfway built with hardly any way to pay for it even if we aren’t relegated, and God only knows what becomes of it if we go down.

All that said, we’re only 3 points off 14th with 19 games to play, and there are an abundance of awful clubs in the bottom half this year. We have one of the best keepers in the PL, and until the WC hiatus, had one of the most solid defences in the league. A couple serviceable loans up top to increase the goals even slightly, and a decent hire of someone who knows how to get a team grinding out results in a relegation fight and it’s still there to be salvaged.

Hope a new manager bump can at least grind out a few more wins. 17th place the last 2 seasons has been 38 points and Everton sit at 17 with about 18 games to go. I think 17th place this year could be a little lower than the last two years. Big log jam at the bottom.

Hope y’all can figure out a hire that will be good enough to get you out of the drop zone and safe. I don’t want to see Everton relegated.
