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

[Paul Rideout]

Some of youz arguing about a penalty when the ref didn’t even give a foul.

 

[Old Blue 2]

You wanted point of contact? Yours is way past

A simple question to which I do not know the answer: Who does the line 'belong to'? In cricket, the line belongs to the field.

If it is not to the defender, it is a penalty.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Carlo between the lines in on bt 2 now

Not sure how more ppl didn't see Doucs as MOTM in that game. Controlled things and drove forward well at times. Made some good interceptions and of course assisted the winner. AD all day for me. Good 3pts against a dogged team. Subs were really good. Bernard showed glimses of how good he can be. Richarlison jinx finally banished. City next. Easy 3pts

He worked tirelessly and had stepped up since Allans injury. We need him to stay fit.

Have to say as well the ref was shocking all game don't know where the five minutes came from then played nearly six

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti, speaking to BBC Sport:
We defended well but also we didn't play so well with the ball but defensively we were strong and concentrated. These three points are very important for us.

"When I put on Andre Gomes I put Gylfi Sigurdsson a little bit back but he found the solution.

"We feel good also because we have problems at this moment with a lot of players out but this team has a lot of spirit and this is good. I am really pleased to manage these players.

"I am really pleased because I found the right club, a nice club a family club. I live in a nice area so after one year I can say I was lucky."

Nice sentiment the last bit and I obvously have nothing but gratitude for Carlo saving the club, and marking the first anniversary of his debut with a similarly hard-fought 1-0 win..... buuuuuut it explains a lot of the last 25 years. Let this be the night it all changes - please God.

No more niceties. If we have to use every dirty trick in the book employed by the dark side (short of murdering rival fans) then so be it.

Thought Bernard added some desperately needed flair.

 

[Old Blue 2]

What part of the body do you think makes contact mate out of interest? Because you're looking at the wrong thing but I'm baffled as to what you're actually looking at.

With comments like his in this thread, he's looking towards the RS game tomorrow...

 

[superkeeper]

Ancelotti made very good changes today, particularly Bernard for Gordon.

Made it early on as well, allowed him more time to have an influence on the game

 

[Zezti]

He was desperately looking for it and deserved nothing. There was no way he was trying to get past that defender. That cheating behaviour is endemic. Gomez should have been booked for the dive.

He was fouled.

 

[birdman]

Haha, get yourself to bed youngster... Don't forget to take off your blue glasses first though

KOPITE

 

[bluelife]

That 5 mins added time had me fuming!! Get in boys, great run!

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

Did you see the sentiment for Arsenals penalty. Terney wasn’t touched. Gomes was fouled. I cant believe what’s been said and I hate the diving in the modern game!

 

[RomanReigns]

its the same with shirt pulling, if u initiate the tug outside the box but it carries on inside the box its a pen

 

[Big Bob]

See, you don't have to be an ex rs player to talk absolute shight on live tv

She played for them too
