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

[Goat]

What's to understand we have 2 sub goalkeepers, for what?

Clearly so they can play a game at HT.

 

[bicycleheader]

Just realised we have won 4 of our last 5 Stephens Day fixtures and drew the other

Scrappy 1-0 today i think. COYB

 

[Chegsy]

Not sure where the goals are going to come from. Dom will be starved again and we will look to set pieces.

 

[Carloblues]

Dont understand this.

Surely they are better off sitting at home rather than sitting on a bench.

How so?

Sitting on the bench, is atleast getting the experience of a matchday, travelling with the first team or just sat at home in ye mars living room getting bevvied.

 

[Lob]

Hardly anybody has smashed them all season.

Small margins in this league.

Well if you call losing 12 out of 14, not winning even one game so far this season and having a goal difference of -17 small margins, then good for you mate.

All i see is utter garbage that should be beaten by Everton no matter how many of our players are missing and hopefully that is what we will do.

 

[LEONARD]

Brewster played 10 games and no goals so far.

24 million to the RS, surely not tonight?

 

[Hickson9]

Come on Gordon, take this chance lad!

 

[Jayhow15]

If 2020 was ever gonna be a football match, this one tonight would be it.

Sheffield United with a duck to break. Everton - hold my beer !

Dreading this.

Said it earlier, Should suit Sigurdsson more this game because of the lack of pace in that Sheff utd side.

Either Davies or Siggurdson usually means we start with 10men

Not sure where the goals are going to come from. Dom will be starved again and we will look to set pieces.

I think if struggling/level second half, Coleman/Nkounkou on so we have full backs instead of four centre halves.

Personally I'd have preferred that from the off, as these will sit back and counter us as we fail to unlock them, but oh well.

Fingers crossed like but, traditionally, Everton lose these games.

Good to see Gordon get a chance but it’s weird that he starts after not even being a regular on the bench.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

I actually think this is exactly the type of game Bernard should start in.

He's hopeless coming off the bench but when he starts games he tends to play well. We've seen that in both League Cup games he's started and the one league game he's started this season.

We also desperately need a player to get on the ball in around the final third today. We can't expect to try and out-grock the likes of Basham, Egan, Robinson, Jagielka etc.

I reckon Bernard goes next month, if we can get someone in that's sound, but in games like today he should be used.

Phew. Gordon starts... More than happy!

His point being that Leicester for example had to be at their best to get a late winner against them and our lineup out today is certainly weaker than Leicester's was that day. But then sheff utds is too. We really need to hope that the players have the energy today to play their best

When he makes any run into the box and there's the lightest bit of contact.
