#939 | Ed and Dharnish pick through United’s grim defeat to Everton - a game so flat it barely needs a post-mortem, yet somehow delivered enough misery to fill one.
They break down Rúben Amorim’s setup, from the malfunctioning wing-backs to a midfield that never got a grip, and a front line that looked like it had forgotten what chance creation even is. The pair analyse United’s inability to punish Everton after the red card, a recurring theme under Amorim: lots of possession, fewer ideas.
There’s a look at the goal conceded, the structural issues behind it, and why United are still so bad at breaking down a low block. The episode also gets into individual performances, tactical stubbornness, squad limitations, and what this defeat means heading into Palace - plus how January might be the club’s only lifeline.
