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

We didn’t ‘Everton’ this game. It’s almost the point where we might have to change that definition thank god.

underperforming 3 points, and Brewster didn’t open his PL account against us. I was sure this was going to be Ricky Van Wolfswinkle round 2

To do a Wolfwinkle is a verb

I should probably stop posting then.

au contraire...your posts are generally of commendable quality

Catenaccio

Gone for Davies as man of the match definitely defensive mid fielder, an excellent under study for Allan.

 

[croatian blues]

Another very solid display at the back.

The team are gaining confidence that we won't concede and up front we know we can put one or two of our chances into the back of the net. Makes for a very solid side.

Monday will be interesting as City will attack our solid back four whilst we can play on the break - another 1-0 win

Hope Richy will be fine, if we want to break fast, we need him.

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

The Calvin lewin booking was a joke

Tommy D was very good tonight.

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.

Freudian slip with the Gomez spelling........

 

[Caolam]

Then say Gomez dived and shouldn't get away with it?

Gomez tried to draw a foul, in my opinion that is wrong. It is cheating. The dive in the first half was a very poor attempt to con the referee. Both should have been booked.
I played, albeit at amateur level, where you had to be tripped, pushed or otherwise impeded in a meaningful way to be awarded a penalty, however today’s rules appear to say it is a penalty if you get touched in the box.

When I played you had to lose both legs to get any kind of free kick

It was ugly to watch. But for Christ's sake we are up to second and winning ugly. The last time we were this impressive form-wise was when we were champions when I was 10 years old. The only thing annoying me is our fantastic supporters not being in stadiums witnessing wins this important.

Yes the league cup game performance pissed us all off.

But I'll go into the next league game expecting a win.

Sky said the Arsenal player playing for the pen tonight was OK to do so
