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

[blue to the bone]

Who, Stevens?

Yeah, they aren't good. But they are fighting and scrapping. And we look knackered. That league cup game just came at the wrong time.

It's not the opponents themselves that's the worry here.

I don't think anyone would.
We should win . It won't be easy missing creative players . But no excuses for us not fighting or scrapping either.
Win to go second is our incentive.

 

[Ring master]

win and we are 2nd , draw and we maybe be 6th due to maybe chelsea not losing at arsenal and saints maybe winning at fulham
Come on Everton

 

[blue to the bone]

No, they aren't.

They're explaining why they're nervous about it.

Some are yes .
If we lose this its a shocking result against a terrible team also missing key players.

 

[Drico]

Win to go second, you say?

Well, we all know what that means, now, don't we...

 

[mahermi1]

Iwobi is crap .

Good to see you still showing that much vaunted positivity mate x

Not saying it wouldn't be a bad result, of course it would be.

But there's loads of factors as to why that might happen - and the biggest factor of all is "Everton, that."

I think it's the fact that there's a good chance that we're starting Tosun up top with a chance to go second that is the real issue.

Exactly what I was thinking. No more bottlers FC please...

Which frankly mate is an absolute load of bollocks

I love your optimism and genuinely hope you are right. But 40 years of supporting Everton tells me every game is hard and we'll do very well to win this one with the players we have out and the scheduling of fixtures. I'd be hopeful of a win but not confident. I just don't think we've got enough quality on the pitch to be anything more than cautiously optimistic. Our four best players are out. Many of the remaining players in our side are not substantially better than many of their opponents tonight. James, Digne, Richarlison, and Allan demonstrably are. Alex Iwobi, Tom Davies, etc not so much. So we've lost much of what makes us "better" than Sheffield United - who, I believe, finished well ahead of us last season.

Here's hoping DCL comes up trumps and Gylfi has one of his better games.

3 points. Go 2nd.

Live and hope

People are looking for excuses not to win this game . Their should be no excuses.

Spot on mate. People are going on about our players who are out but don't realise that Sheff utd have been ravaged as well with their key players out. Also there is a reason they are rooted to the bottom of the table with no wins out of 14 games and only 2pts from a possible 42pts, the reason is that they are absolutely cack.

 

[stretford blue]

Win and we go 2nd what could possibly go wrong
