"70 minutes more or less, 11 vs 10, conceded a goal, and not creating many chances. A few, but not enough for a match against 10. A disappointing night. From our side, we didn't do enough. Didn't make the runs or bodies into the box. They are strong in the air, so we didn't have the players to score from that. We basically played to their strengths."
"These are the main aspects, but we have to look at ourselves, and it's not good enough. We've been away and trained for a while together. I just think we lacked a bit of urgency in several situations. They get punished if you lack this urgency. If you don't score, you lose this game. We lacked this hunger to make a difference on the most important moments."
Idrissa Gueye was sent off in the 13th minute after striking team-mate Michael Keane in the face, leaving Everton with ten men. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored the winner before the half-hour mark, giving Everton a 1-0 lead. Manchester United registered 25 shots (23 after the red card) and four big chances but could not break down Everton’s low block. United delivered 38 crosses overall and saw Jordan Pickford make six saves. Players failed to make runs or bodies into the box, lacked urgency and cutting edge, and ultimately conceded at home and were booed by fans.
