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

[Fansince1988]

We are going to come out and play brilliantly and win this game, you heard it here lol

The fans being invited to the Wolves game are being vetted now, happy clappers only.......

Cannot believe he's played 5 at the back against Sheffield United. Well, I can, because that's all he seems to play at the minute, but it's still dreadful.

Have zero faith he'll change it at half time either. It took him over an hour to change it at Villa and his subs were Gomes for Siggy and Iwobi for Colman to play the exact same system.

As bad as we were, we could have had 2 or 3, if we are to get back into this we need that goal very early 2nd half and not a late leveller, if that even comes

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

At least they left it much later than usual to ruin my weekend.

 

[deipnosophist]

Not as bad a performance as I feared pre-match. Considering our brave lionhearts are playing the bottom team (and hence had the pressure of win-expectation on them), I feel they are doing pretty well. Very easy team to be proud of

need a goal before the 70th

 

[BlueToff]

I am just waiting for him to put Delph on to save us.

It'll be that or Gylfi to play holding midfield

 

[atypicalusername]

They don't have options for forward passes. Shape of the team is appalling

That seems fair to a point but with the calibre of players they are they should surely be capable of controlling the tempo to enable the opportunities to arise? Maybe?

 

[blueblue]

As strange as it may sound I would bring on Iwobi.

 

[Parker]

Who was the last player we've had where you'd be confident they'd go past their man?

Rom? Deulofeu?

There's not a single player in this squad who can take on a man, meaning teams can just man mark us out of games because they never need to double up.

Every single player we sign now needs to be quick as a bare minimum. Sick of watching this torrid shabite every single week.

 

[HTCHERO]

We'll finish 10th, btw.

Leeds are a far better team than us.

Yeah they do that thing we can't do... football

Nah my old mans got one, I hope they’ve got good noise cancellation on the stands

We can't build any moves. Everything is long ball.

The defending is abysmal for the first goal but as we're seeing now Godfrey is caught in two minds - a lack of cohesion and communication.

We have to get a midfielder on who can just sit in the middle and collect the ball off the CBs, and stop this nonsense of chopping back and playing it around the three and going nowehere.

Doucoure is abysmal on the ball. Horrific. He needs to be able to run around and that's it.

Allan wants to chase everything like a dog after a bone.

We have a midfielder on the bench who has proved this season that he can do the job we need to a decent level, and that decent level is all we should need to be able to build moves against Sheff Utd.

It would push James further up, and stop us being so bloody sloppy, hopefully, with trying risky back passes.

I’m no lover of Davies but he was running the game when we played these away.

No way big iguana says they're crap and he knows his stuff.....
