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

As soon as it creeps above 0 you've got issues.

Not really, you could then lose one in 8 which would probably be 5 games all season.

It would be boring, but fairly effective.

I missed the first half, but from what I saw in the second half I thought we played well......

If you’re looking to this squad for hope then you’ll be sorely disappointed.

We want, and Carlo needs, some of his own players.

I think you can make an argument that we haven't even been average

I'm just more interested in the performance and it was good in some ways, namely defensively and some of the possession stuff in our third and the middle third, and it was bad in the attacking third. As we've been bad in the attacking third for a long while now, I'm concerned.

but why are you expecting something that won't happen with this midfield? We know why we've been crap in attack or why we create 2 chances a game, This midfield is one of the worst in the league, Ancelotti is trying to squeeze blood out of a stone here when he's pretty much forced to pick Davies/Sigg in the CM and left being trusted to Gordon who has barely had a sniff of proper Football.

14 points from 15 games with Marco remember. 35 in the 22 since. Those points per game over a season would equate to 6th/7th. Quite an achievement with a team with such obvious flaws.

The points he's taken from the games he's been in charge would put us in 6th or 7th... That is, statistically speaking, above average.

What we're currently doing is bottom quarter of the league. I think it's fair to expect better, no?

Meant specifically in an attacking sense. Defensively we're pretty good Wolves and Saints aside.

Mans acting like nobody has been crying out for players for the last 6 weeks.

We won, take the 3 points, it wasn't pretty, we wont win Titles with this squad, but thankfully there's a transfer window opening in a week.

Honestly not sure what other options we have, Our midfielders don't move the ball up quick enough or pass forward enough, We know it's crap but we're all making do with it because we'll hopefully get a new CM/RM in that'll change it completely.

 

[consho]

Holgate could solve defensive midfield role

First half was a non event, neither team got started. 2nd half we were much better.

You didn't miss anything

 

[donny]

They'll loan him out.

And rightly so.

Disagree we need him here,he's already shown enough class to be a real asset to the first team.
