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

Branthwaite getting his shirt ripped off and VAR go ‘nothing to see here’

 

[Clarky cat]

The refereeing (and var) today was beyond shambolic, these egotistical bells need binning to a man. I particularly liked the first half free kick where the Sheffield Utd line had all encroached towards the ball and were clearly in front of the line the ref sprayed, so in order to rectify this he sprayed another line in front of where they were now all stood.
A point is better than nothing, we will get better with McNeil and Harrison coming in but to only name 7 subs with 2 goalkeepers the day after the transfer window closed tells me this manager will have to earn his wages to keep the team up this season as he isn’t going to be helped by the 2 frauds in charge.

 

[Bebeto]

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!!

At least one...they were very aggressive and got away with it for me. This type of referring played perfectly in their hands.and the way they play at home.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Both their goals come (scored & in off the goalie) from the pocket in front of the CBs… exactly where Gana should be.

That referee though. Just bizarre.

Just wth was that when he redrew the foam line to where Sheffield's players had crept forward to?

 

[Hangleton]

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.

Wasn’t a great attempt to block the cross for their first goal.
Need to fight for everything.

Where did the prick ref get an extra 3 minutes in injury time from? The tark incident and sub took a minute

 

[Blue Roo]

Positives - Beto, Braithwaite and McNeil
Negatives - Dyche, Patterson, Gana, Young, Danjuma and 2 points dropped

Poor referee and VAR shocking. Promising signs though. Beto looks a player and Danjuma will get better as his fitness improves. Really happy with Branthwaite. Thought Gana did ok - but Onana needs to be more involved. 2 points dropped for me.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

I think we will find a lvel of fluidity upfront once they have played together a bit more. Danj, Beto, Mcneil,Harrison can all be a handfull

 

[Rook]

Am I being simple here, but I am sure the second line is the 1 metre away from wall that our players had to be - ref even pointed at the Everton player to make that point?

Honestly I kinda/sorta wanted the Sheff Utd players to step over the 2nd line just to see what happened.

Anyone got a clip of the penalty incident

We used to be aggressive and we loved it! I like the refs letting stuff go if both teams are at it. Didnt see anything over the top today. Fair game.
