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

[Shibbywiggles]

Yes great way to have a player injured.

Yeah we’ve been left paper thin not bringing anyone in

 

[sandybrownsbighead]

We're not foing though and these are our easy fixtures. Relegated by end of March imo.

It would have been better to have played City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Utd and have 0 points than just 1 after these four games

 

[PhilRegan]

We don't look particularly fit

 

[Verbal Kint]

Don't know how I feel about that.

Was gutted we hadn't won until that Pickford double save. Now just glad we are on the board.

Positives

Beto
Braintwaite
And Danjuma ok was very wasteful but has something about him i like.

 

[Bob Latchford]

I’ve never been more convinced that something is up.

He booked Doucoure for a challenge and let the same thing go without a card countless times before and after. Not saying he was biased just terrible and out of his depth.

 

[witchdoc187]

That refereeing performance has to be questioned for me. Fairly blatant penalty given as a free kick and played extra minutes to try and get them a goal

Played extra minutes because tarks had to go off

 

[atrottel]

This is going to be a long painful season

Sorry, but I thought we played well today. Beto was excellent. Onana had a good game. Branthwaite did well. McNeil will get better as he gets fitness and we have DCL back after the break.

 

[irishblue11]

Wolves and Fulham at home and now Sheffield United and we manage one point, shocking start, it's going to be a long season.

 

[bluelegend]

We'll pay for not getting in a left back that can find his man more times than not. Young's passing is awful and it was same against Wolves. Massive weak spot for us.

 

[GoldenToffee]

CBA with my full ratings but:

Negatives:
Young is awful at left back
Nobody in the side can take a set piece
Doucouré and Gueye are finished as CM
Danjuma is too selfish too often

Positives:
Danjuma in right place at right time to score
Onana slightly better then usual
Patterson got a great assist
Branthwaite again solid
Beto easily MOM

Main positive:
International break now and chance for McNeil, Harrison, Danjuma and Beto to get up to full fitness.

 

[ricer10]

Says it all really when our MOM scores an own goal ! Not much to feel positive about Blues ! Feels like a long inevitable season at this point

 

[Davideeyore]

A point away from home and two goals scored is decent enough. Good double save by Pickford at the death.

We should have won.

But the reality is we can thank Pickford that we didn't do an Everton.

 

[Chegsy]

That's 3 out of 4 we should have won now

Worrying. Cant win games that we should be winning against average teams.

 

[Blue_Eagle]

You have to say the team battled today.

Unfortunately this is where the board have restricted us with squad depth.

The likes of Doucoure needed to come off in the last 10-15mins.

If DCL was fit, he should've replaced Beto in the last 10-15mins. etc

Against stronger opposition with bigger squads, that's where they'll gain the tactical advantage over us.

Thanks Bill & Farhad!

I gave it to Onana because I thought he had a huge game.
But I could have given it Tarkoswki, Branthwaite (who was excellent), Gana or Beto
