Match Thread Sheffield United v. Everton - 20th July 2020

Ref is Stuart Attwell,he did our 2-2 at Chelsea and our 0-2 at home versus Newcastle.

VAR is Martin Atkinsons job.

Not_a_Cheat used to do these.

So we are on to the penultimate game, with realistically needing to win both for our first ever European qualifying position. One game at a time, but certainly won't take this game as a given, but after that debacle, I'm remarkably confident....

But anyway...

Any team news?

Fleck surely starting?

Otherwise unchanged?

I'm hoping from a response after the lacklustre performance at Leicester. I guess it's the hope that kills you. Lol. Anyway 3 nil Blades win with Fleck getting the first goal.

UTB

Definitely. Wasn't going to give it until Richarlison started screaming in agony.

Got booked for showing his foot. Fuck me, dig Douglas Bader up and sign him.

Legend has it, it'll be landing in 2032

Simmo’s penalty ball has just passed it on its 3576th orbit around the earth.

 

[Nesh Blade]

No comment from the club on Moose

 

[BettingBlade]

Enda Stevens is on the beach and has been for weeks. No desire to go and challenge for that header whatsoever

 

[BettingBlade]

Norwood gets booked for the cleanest tackle you will ever see.

Richarlison gets fuck all for hacking down Basham.

Fuck off man

 

[Stevo]

We are far too predictable up front

Give it a rest man

 

[drblade]

Agree. We really need to sign a consistent goal scorer at this level. But so does everyone else.

 

[BettingBlade]

Give it a rest man

Oh sorry, he’s been excellent since the restart and made a really really great effort to go and win the header.

Forgot we couldn’t give opinions on here unless we’re lashing them with praise.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Need pace it's there to see we are so predictable

So you really think that when he has a chance of European football he’s already on the beach? I think you forget very easily the effort and commitment he has given. Just because results aren’t great you criticize commitment.....it’s not that simple.

 

[Flumps]

Jesus Mary and Joseph Stalin what a pathetic display at times from Everton. I'll admit some of the tackles have been rough but nothing to be penalised for. They seem pretty happy to rile our players up as well, starting arguments etc..

That’s the thing, as soon as you point out what’s happening in the PRESENT, you’re accused of writing off the whole season. Just because they’ve been excellent all season, it doesn’t mean we can’t point out they’re having a bad game.

Two players jumped for that header, only one of them wanted to win it, simple as that. Wilder said as much on Saturday but when this team is getting outfought and outbattled, there’s questions to be asked.

I don’t think they are tonight.

Anywhere but on here .
You are spot on.

 

[FriethBlade]

No penetration, we need players who can go past the oppo and bring defenders out.

 

[BettingBlade]

I don’t think they are tonight.

We’re losing the midfield, partly because Norwood is on a booking and he knows one more sees him sent off. We look better going forward than against Leicester but we are being more than matched with the nitty gritty stuff.

 

[Greg.]

0 shots on target stil...

 

[AdamSufc1997]

0 shots on target stil...

No quality up front what you expect

 

[Sean Thornton]

Stevens looks totally bereft of any confidence.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

The most frustrating thing is when we should hit it early we don't and we have time, we whack it and hope for the best.

 

[Wards]

Have we had a shot yet?

 

[Razor1967]

They are better than us unfortunately. They are pressing us really well and at the moment we don’t have an answer. Just don’t think it’s a lack of commitment and we are not on the beach.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Last 10, we'll push on, they'll break for number 2 and game over.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Oh, and it will be C-L who scores

 

[mablethorpe utd]

Have we had a shot yet?

We're non dimensional.

 

[Wards]

Sadly today we seem to be lacking one or two willing to take the game by the scruff. Basham aside I don’t think I’ve seen a player break a sweat to get into the box or break between the lines.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Doing too much trying to score a tap in

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Either that, or we come back to win 2-1
