Went with Jags. Had a great game. As did Distin and Howard.

[Hafnia]

Jags, Howard and distin both in the running.

[inertia8]

All had good games, Howard kept us in it though.. Why oh why did Distin have that momentary lapse, trying to be a bit too crafty..

 

2 up front we needed, Victor's muscle could have held the ball up for Beckford..

 

I'm off to the Philippines for a few weeks now, no more watching Everton for me

I agree it was Distin's fault dithering but also he went out to left back to try to rectify it and baines had to cover in the middle which is why I think Jags was sucked out of position and Hernandez got the free header. We had looked so solid, especially from crosses!

[marcopaulo]

lucky bastard

I'm gutted for you mate - swap Man.City/Chelsea tickets for your flight/accom?

[Matt]

Only one choice. Tim Howard, it wouldve been much more embarressing that it actually was if it wasnt for him. Jags did very well too but Distins slip up cost us.

[duncanmckenzieismagic]

It was going to be a close call between Jags and Distin until the latter handed the points to United on a platter

 

So Jags for

 

Nice to see the police and the stewards were as friendly as ever

[Romey 1878]

Jags?!

 

He had a shocker of a first half. All over the place. He was solid in the second half though.

 

I'd have given it to Distin if not for his brainfart, so I'm voting for no one.

Soz Romey i went with Jags aswell. I was a bit disapointed we never really got forward, altho i thought Walton did well for them today.

[rubecula]

That would have been a cricket score but for Tim Howard..... embarrassing to watch. Tim gets mt MoM vote for today.

[billyaus]

those 2 penalties would have helped

[Romey 1878]

I forgot about Howard , he's got my vote.

What is the problem with some stewards, frustrated coppers maybe. It always seem to be the away fans only at Old Trafford that come in for poor treatment when you can obviously see both sets of fans goading each other. I had a word with one when I was leaving, explaining his attitude was causing resentment from Evertonians. His answer was "being a steward gives me the right to behave how I want, if I want to stare at people, then I will". Nice!!!!

And there in lies the problem!

 

At first I thought it was a bit on top getting searched twice before I even got in the ground then I met a sniffer dog straight as I got through the turnstile, then no ale on sale, but still I thought 'well they are only doing their job'

 

Then I took my seat and coudlnt see anything because there was a gaggle of coppers in full body armour stood right in front of me. I asked if there was any chance that I could share the great view they had of the game and nearly got arrested!

 

Then I witnessed a similair scenario just below me and the police / stewards were all over the poor bloke in a flash and if what followed wasnt asssault then Im a season ticket holder at Anfield without a Norwegian/Irish accent

Granted his ditribution was poor in the first half but he was otherwise solid

 

Its ok to disagree but if you cant put forward an alternative its a bit of a weak point

[Romey 1878]

You only had to read a bit further down.

 

I'll be sure to check with you next time though.

Jags for me - brilliant. Tie between he and Howard who was also excellent.
