Very similar to the silly penalty Pienaar gave away last season, also just at the end of a half. It's the Everton way.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
It was well inside the box.
Carrick is the daddy, once again! All over the park defending, intercepting, covering defenders. In attack he's been greasing the wheels, contributing to the attack and then there was the superb volley that would surely have been a top 5 candidate for goal of the season had it been inches to the right!
Decent half, nothing spectacular but then again Everton know how to defend.
Carrick's been fantastic, good stuff from Ronaldo and Tevez as well.
O'Shea's playing well (even getting forward quite a bit), Neville needs to get his act together...

Whenever it involves Carrick, it's always polemic.
Carrick...superb...and Tevez as well....
still we look like we can go up a few more gears....

Love Tevez's drive and determination, he's giving it his all
Hope we keep him

HT. 1-0. Scored at the right time. We were letting them get a bit too much of the possession at times. Now that we are in front we really need to go for the kill. Stop being so slow and predictable in our attacking play so we can open them up. Everton are chasing the game and will be vulnerable to our counter attacks. Good work so far though.
Creating chances with some great passing, good defensive work, and a lot more of 'getting forward' play.
That's what we all wanted him to be doing, and he is doing it superbly.
Viva Michael Carrick
Well now United have DOUBLE the amount of penalties at home compared to Chelsea and Liverpool. No denying that FACT!
Carrick, Ronaldo and Tevez looking in good form.
Ronaldo seems to have his shooting boots back on.

So? Utd mainly occupy the opposing teams penalty area, especially at OT.
Everton are working incredibly hard to break us down, and they are doing it well - penalty aside. Not sure what Arteta was thinking, but for me it was a correct decision.
We played some good football and should have scored earlier (how the heck did Tevez miss from about four yards out?!), my only worries are Neville and Park who got embarrassed more than once by Pienaar and Baines
Good defending otherwise, Everton only had one shot throughout the first half.

Tevez and Carrick the stand out two.
Fletcher, Rio, O'Shea ,VDS and Vidic have done ok.
Neville and Park have been awful together at the back.
Berbatov has been anonymous, barring a few passes with the outside of his boot across the park!

I actually think Carrick has been a tiny bit sloppy with his passing by his standards (but then his standard is 93% pass success if his last two games are anything to go by). He's been getting forward very well, though.
Tevez can dribble his way to that contract if he keeps running with the ball like that
Tevez has been good so far, one of his best games in United's shirt that I've seen.
Oh, and Ronaldo has been Ronaldo - unlucky with the shot off the post
does any one else want to punch Hibbert, the guy is so irritating, ugly and talentless all he does is try to injure quality players. I wish Rooney was fit to smash him into the top of the north stand.
Carrick and Tevez were brilliant. Reckon we would get another in the next 20 minutes or so, it should seal the match.
Everton are mezmorized by those Neon Lime-Green thingies...
He's trying to play more 50-50 passes IMO. Everton has defended well though.
is it just me or has he gotten faster?
Good first half.
Carrick has been excellent, Tevez very good.
Ronaldo is getting some of his shooting back.
More of the same in the second.

Ronaldo playing like Ronaldo of last season.
He certainly seems to have gained a yard of pace. It's a form thing probably - sharpness more than actual speed...
They is all shiny and pretty
Id like to see fabio in for neville, who looks injured, and put oshea at right back, at least he wont be cutting inside the whole time.
Tevez has done very well for himself since Rooney got injured. Making a very good case for him to stay. Unlucky not to get a goal.
Bit lethargic, but we've done enough to deserve the lead
Carrick's easily been our best player. Ronaldo's getting in behind them pretty well.
Neville and Park need to stop being a pair of fecking idiots.
Same old from Tevez this season. Good movement and workrate, and he looks sharper than previously, but nearly always makes the wrong decision, and when he doesn't, takes too long to make the right one

I agree with sharpness, he seemed faster in pre-season and after several games on the bench seemed a bit slower. Similar to Rooney that.
You probably just have a good stream going, no buffering
brown .. why put fabio on against everton unless its needed .
the game isnt won yet
Nice little cameo on agent Brucie at half time here.
Yes, he has. Noticed it too.
McManaman just labelled ronaldo's shot at the inside of the post 'a half chance'...
I hope Tevez gets atleast a goal today, his performance so far upfront deserves it.
Or perhaps Everton are slower in defense creating the illusion that Tevez is faster.
