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

[Tom Ferguson]

Everton need a complete turnaround from Saturday’s horror show if they are to avoid a cup upset at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday.



The Owls will be out to replicate their local rivals’ exploits from the weekend on Tuesday evening.



Sheffield United rocked up to Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon with no need to get out of second gear and came away with an impressive 2-0 victory over a lacklustre Everton outfit.



Wednesday have enjoyed a relatively strong start to the season considering they only appointed a first team manager just over two weeks ago.



Garry Monk’s side are currently ninth in the second tier after eight matches. Four points separate them from table-topping Leeds.

16 shots, 3 on target, 12 corners; a similar performance should bring us an away win.

However, we will need to field a strong team, while City are sure to rest players away to Preston.

Got to win this. Good chance we will bollox this up too. They are going to fancy their chances and their main target will be to hit us fast and score first knowing that we cannot come from behind. Man oh man, is it the end of the season yet.

Why do they have to put us through another 90 minutes so soon after the last one?
What is wrong with these people?
Have we not suffered enough?

We are playing a top ten championship side at home it’s a tough test for anyone.

We lack control, we need our big players to take that game tomorrow play percentages, play clever, take fouls, keep the ball frustrate the home crowd, take a booking with ten to go, they need prove why they are premier league professional players. Ok there’s no ball on gain twenty yards and take the foul, use the brain for once Everton

This would be the last straw for a lot of fans imo if this was lost especially after Milwall, It'd be hard to see a way back for him.
