Alan Shearer Critiques Manchester United's 'Pathetic' Draw with Everton

Alan Shearer harshly criticized Manchester United's performance during their 2-2 draw against Everton, specifically targeting Bruno Fernandes, Rasmus Hojlund, and Diogo Dalot for their lackluster efforts in the first half. United found themselves down 2-0 at halftime, failing to register a single shot on target and showing a lack of desire and organization on the field. Shearer described their pressing as 'hopeless' and pointed out Dalot's failure to close down Everton's Jack Harrison effectively. Despite a spirited second half that saw Fernandes score from a free-kick and assist another goal, Shearer remained unimpressed with the overall performance, stating that the team appeared 'confused' about their tactics. He expressed concern over the players' understanding of their roles and the effort they were putting in, labeling the first half as 'pathetic.' This match highlighted ongoing struggles for Manchester United, who currently sit 15th in the Premier League table.
