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

[ForeverEverton]

WOW, set piece again, MS must still have the worst in PL history record

I`m sure we can turn it around, but TBH that will still be papering over the cracks

 

[Blue83]

We're really not very good

 

[Petit]

Team is awful. The players couldn’t care less.They’re all millionaires, why would they get stuck in? Not even bothered about Silva, he might not be brilliant but even with a brilliant manager we’ll never win unless the players have some hunger.

Well I’ve been unable to watch or listen to this game. Can I just get a run down of who the main culprits have been so far

Silva

 

[summerisle]

Silva’s on the slippery slope

He's the Eddy the Eagle of football managers.

 

[BlueStevie35]

What benefit does Schneids bring to the team? Serious question.

Would like to see Iwobi on as well, maybe for Siggy

Only him and Davies can play there while we have Gomes and Gbamin out

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Silva

Thought that would be the case

 

[Mikey O]

Hope we buy another nine defensive midfields in January - play them all together and pass all the way back to fuc*ng Kirkby.

THE SILVA WAY - Striker has the ball and within seven passes it's back with Pickford - YAWN

Just in case you were wondering if todays referee was corrupt. Only against Everton can you just undercut the goalie without going for the ball

 

[TheBigIguana]

Silva and Sneids

Schneids is the long term whipping boy, and there was a point where he was genuinely awful, but he has been far from the problem today. If his job was to dribble with the ball or play balls that split the other team open we would have an issue but I doubt he is. He's doing what he's tasked with. Silva needs to put a better system together.

 

[hktoffee]

Tippy tappy crap which deliever no end product. Pass pass pass instead of having a go.

If Silva won’t change this now and we end of drawing or even losing he won’t be here for too long.

 

[Jim Hopper]

For the final 5 minutes there, we knocked it round with the intensity that we should have been from the kick off.

We only step it up when we go behind sadly. It’s disgusting. Any other so called top team would have been right at the jugular with these. Playing a one pace and our play is all too predictable. Manager needs to change it but he won’t because he doesn’t know how to play any other system. Also he is probably terrified that Sigurdsson may get shown up and he won’t be able to play him no more.

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

Given how many goals we concede from set-pieces, I don't see why we don't have players on the front and back posts.

 

[captainvindaloo]

We are playing like it's a kick-about. Tactics (if you can call it that), are not working. We could have 99% possession and still get nothing.
