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

[heatmeiser]

I thought the ref wanted Tarks off because the EFC medical staff had immediately come on to check him so he must leave the pitch. Though when Ben Godfrey was put on then maybe he was not okay. Jordan Pickford did well with that triple save though. He saved the point.

Yeah was probably a bit of that too tbf. Not sure. It's clearly all a mess and people aren't really sure what's going on.

If it's our medical teams fault then they should be in trouble tbh. Amateur

Positives and negatives we can take from that.

Branthwaite, Beto, Danjuma* huge positives

Defence and midfield support defending is all over the place

Attack we look like we have added a bit more so midfield and defence need to work together a hell of a lot better

*Danjuma
Some may disagree but I feel he has an element of Gray in him.......looking for glory rather than seeing what is around him but I have no doubt he has all the attributes of a dangerous winger but all wingers seem to have a glory hunting instinct in them. Regardless, he is dangerous so a plus for me

Beto has only 45 minutes in the tank.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Onana MoM for me, none of them covered themselves in glory particularly, but felt he probably performed at the highest level of the lot of them.
Could have been Pickford but I have reservations about the strength of his wrists for their first and the goal line scramble at the death might also have been a bit self inflicted for the same reason.

 

[GoldenToffee]

By which time we will in all likelihood have different injiry problems. Absolutely left three wins out their start of the season.

In fairness everybody will be fit come the next game - bar Coleman. But I get your point, as it's not a season if we don't have multiple injury crises.

 

[banno]

Beto has only 45 minutes in the tank.

If you say so pal

 

[RomanReigns]

The urgency we showed to score after half time was delightful then after we scored they went back to don’t give a crap mode

I don’t understand

 

[Toffeelover]

A point, aw gee, a point.

 

[Bedfordblue]

wtf was this all about - is the ref into trains or something?

 

[ElGato]

Really frustrating performance, good in spells but woeful in others. So many basic errors costing us and also wasteful when we get into good attacking positions

Tarky, Onana and Danjuma were, I thought, standout poor performers

Patterson, Branthwaite and Beto were excellent. Branthwaite is clutch. Really impressed with Beto so far, such a handful

 

[bluelegend]

If we continue now scoring goals we'll be ok. With Beto we probably beat Fulham and Wolves. Or at least get something from them. What's worrying is the defensive frailties particularly from Tarkowski. Young also is a liability. Will be interesting to see how we come back after the break. Fingers crossed.

I cannot believe that. A complaint should be made to the FA.

 

[Cjplennon]

Plus all the yellow cards not given for them..in the build-up of our second goal there are 2 blatant faults both deserving of a yellow card...yet nothing...then doucoure booked when it wasn't not even a fault.

Well glad the ref didnt stop play to give a yellow. Played on and we got a goal. Not sure what you would want here. Give 2 retrospective yellows after the goal....never going to happen. Agree though that the doucoure Yellow was total dross!!

 

[ElGato]

Also ref was woeful. Sheffield such a dirty side, don't think he got many calls right at all

 

[heatmeiser]

The foul started outside the box but you continue for advantage. Once it continues into the box and the player is brought down it's a pen. Also did you see the ref draw another line to suit were Sheffield encroached. He was a joke

That was just unreal. Baffling stuff

 

[st.domingo]

Was imperative not to lose today. Onwards and hopefully upwards.
