The Everton match was a highly entertaining, end-to-end game that United could easily have won 3-0 (the two woodwork strikes and Evra’s wondershot). We were sucker-punched at the end by a move which exploited the fact that Valencia isn’t a natural fullback — and his being there at that moment was due to his being shifted in order to accommodate the type of attacking substitutions that everyone in the stadium had been demanding.
