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

Just think where we could be right now without that purple patch. But, hey I’ll take this.

Or where we could be without that bad patch where we couldn’t win a toss.

Just need big Sam to park 2 buses tomorrow, listening to Klopp fume will be a priceless end to Xmas

I’ve written to Santa for this......a Fat Sam Showcase....I want to see him gravy-boating in Klippitys Technical Area. I’d give away a kidney to see Sam chin the goofy fecker

Me neck would have nothing on top of it if we hadn't won that after that referee's performance. Haven't seen a ref that bad for years.

Jon Moss every week.

Just watched the game. Fantastic win and I thought they played well in general. Sheffield United didn’t really have a chance. The one through on goal was offside anyway.

That said, we really need to create more. Looking very lacking of ideas.

Expecting to beat Man City with these tactics and formation and don’t think that would have been likely a few weeks ago. Well done Everton!

 

[evertony]

Just looked at the back pages of the rags, City, Utd, Leicester etc etc....not even a mention so far.....

And long may it last.
Let’s continue boiling their slash.

I used my index finger and thumb to pull it out instead of a tweezer. Doesn't hurt as much.

That's what I do too, but it still hurts

It's about time we got rid of the 'never win when Richarlison is out' tag.

Chance that

lucky

....we’ve had the ‘Dogs of War’ and now we’ve got the ‘Grinders’.

Ancelotti has found a way to win without our most creative talent ( Richarlison, Digne and Rodriguez). It might not be pretty but it’s effective and fair play to him, it’s the challenge a manager has to meet. I thought his substitutions worked well, Bernard kept the ball and provided some threat in the top third whilst Coleman gave us another dimension.

Sigurdsson must read GOT, I posted amongst the plaudits from the last game that he needs to get on the end of chances and score vital goals. 1-0 Sigurdsson should be a more regular Scorecast. Mina is playing really well, he’s been my my MoM for two consecutive games but this time I’m going for Davies who I thought was brave in possession and effective in CM alongside Doucoure who also put in a shift. DCL and Godfrey consistently contribute.

Well done The Grinders. UTFT.

Following your lead I searched the app store to see if there's an app to help me to support the grinders. Turns out there is! I must say some of the posts seem a bit off topic, but its a sociable forum, with all the lads keen to meet up.

I’m on the kidney transplant list so can I have your kidney please!

 

[Markydys]

Game changed when Bernard replaced Gordon and then again when Coleman came on. Defensively we look solid, but when you don't have your full backs venture past the half way line, you lack options and DCL is then isolated. Straight away Coleman got himself forward and we began to look a bit more dangerous.
I know Bernard is like marmite but his touch and ability to unlock defences is quality. Just a shame he is so inconsistent.
Davies was quality.
Do we have enough players for tomorrow night? ‍‍

 

[Sadken]

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

We won without richarlison, that's another jinx broken, just need to win at anfield now.

yes, they all enjoy a pre-game pint at The Lisbon (or so I've heard)...

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

Richie has been terrible this season. Against City, Bernard has the brain and ability to start, and currently Siggy is the man.

Baby steps mate... Carlo is destroying these jinxes one by one.

when we do beat then, I want it to be their full strength team... so there are no excuses (there will always be an excuse from that lot, but you know what I mean)

 

[Steve Wigan]

I’m on the kidney transplant list so can I have your kidney please!

So am I buddy....had a transplant in 2005 which lasted 14 years, back on the list now, and I'm 80 next July. Good luck to you mate, hang in there.
