Match Thread Everton v Sheffield United - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Hellerad]

Go 4-4-2

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

I actually think we've been quite good, just wasteful as usual in the final third. Typical that we're 1-0 down and they haven't even had a shot on target. We'll come back and win this.

 

[billybeeru]

Get Iwobi on for Morgan immediately and then if things aren’t getting better, get Tosun on for Gylfi.

 

[Mickey]

Schneids offers absolutely nothing. He's not even good at shielding the defense. Get Davies on and get our midfield going past the striker for once.

 

[roy vernon]

Richardson up front with Kean, iwobi on for siggurdsen. This has been so predictable up to now, need to shake it up a bit.

Don't make excuses, Pickford should have done better

He should have done better, but it should also have been called as a foul, as is usually the case.
We'll inevitably give away a free kick like that when DCL's arm brushes against their keeper in the 87th minute.

 

[TheBigIguana]

It's a redundant role at home to Sheff Utd - sooner he is too the better. I agree that it is Silva's fault that he picks him.

It doesn't have to be. We could play him as the deep player with Delph and Davies or Gomes when healthy ahead but that means we have to leave Sigurdsson out which we don't do.

Don't make excuses, Pickford should have done better

What a load of BS from someone whos clearly never played any sport at any real level. As if you can leap in the air and accurately win a ball being whipped in while someone has cut your legs out. Fool extraordinaire.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

This has been out problem for last 5 years. They have 90 mins work to do every week. They stroll into work and wake up when its too late. Thats the manager fault. No excuse not to go 100 % from the off. We never see that anymore.

You watch how Liverpool play and that's the difference, the intensity is unreal, they play like it's 0-0 in the biggest game of their lives every match.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

What has Boa Morte brought to the table?

We have regressed from last season and a defeat today could see an end to this managerial team.

 

[atrottel]

Massive amounts of possession, playing it from side to side, spraying crosses in, 50 corners to nil, and yet their keeper hasn't had to make a save. Completely toothless, despite the fact that we have brought Kean and Bernard in.

Forty minutes, they get a corner. Every single Blue watching thinks 'uh-oh, here we go' and indeed we go in 0-1 at half time.

No point in even complaining about the clear barge on Pickford. You only get those whistled if you are the Sky/Amazon Top Six.

On this showing we would find it hard getting out of the Championship, let alone competing for Europe.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Maybe we’ll see some bold adventurous half time changes bringing attacking midfielders on for the two utter frauds Siggurdson and Schneiderlin. Coincidentally the two who were giving it the big one in the media all week.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Silva’s on the slippery slope

Lose this and he well and truly is after the money weve spent the last 2 seasons. Absolutely no disrespect to sheff United theyve shown they're good enough to play in this league but we should be breezing past these given the investment and the quality of player on paper.

 

[harris78]

After the last game DCL and Iwobi gets dropped, why does Sigurdsson always get a gig?

This is the biggest issue for me. Sigurddson has been proper [Poor language removed] all season yet there are no consequences. Iwobi has played well in every game he has played but gets dropped to the bench.... Just baffling
