Sheffield United vs Everton

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

Sideways, backwards, sideways, backwards, sideways, forwards....lose it...repeat

Don't think its our day today

 

[JPSharpy93]

We are fantastic at passing it around the penalty box, but useless at testing the keeper or creating any sort of clear chance

 

[YES Blade]

Just need that bit of class in and around the box, a younger, Premier League quality Duffy please!

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Regardless of the score tonight I will be glad to see the back of this season now. Which is a bloody shame because it started so well. It's just not the same without fans.

 

[Davalon]

Not enough in final third but tbh our strikers aren't lively enough too often anyway at this level.

That's one area we really need to improve next season as we can't expect to be so miserly at the back again.

 

[Sheffsteel]

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.

In fairness....No player should be judged on the post lock down form.

Its a totally unnnatural way of playing...which they’ve never done in the past whilst turning pro.
The current situation of playing every 3 days in front of no crowd isn’t why they became pro footballers.
These matches are more like friendlies with minimal preparation and we all know stories of players who are crap in training but turn it on during 90 minutes of a match.
We also here stories of players who are world beaters in training...then come match day they struggle to turn it on.
I would take recent great performances or recent poor performances with a pinch of salt.

Normally you can always rely on our players to give 100% but even that’s difficult when your playing every 3 days in the middle of Summer.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

We're getting crowded out down the flanks in the final third. Ancelotti has done his homework.

 

[Shoreham_Bhoys]

Two teams who are already thinking about the off-season. Just slightly edged on the day.

 

[Davalon]

I'd have loved Europe but this restart has really made me wonder how we would have coped.

It's been a great ride and obviously no shame in missing out.

Some work in pre-season clearly required but some look like they need a rest.

 

[VwBlade]

Not looked like scoring all night

 

[FriethBlade]

Yep and so had Rogers...doesn't mean our way of playing cant work but it will only work when we are 100% on it

 

[Sean Thornton]

Just need that bit of class in and around the box, a younger, Premier League quality Duffy please!

Remind me what he’s done since he was frozen out?

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Reyt wound me up this game. All huff and puff and no end product. We look like Wilder has given us all a rocket and we're now trying too hard to impress. Crap.

 

[YES Blade]

Remind me what he’s done since he was frozen out?

Nothing, we need that type of player, not Duffy!

 

[Flumps]

Wow what a frustrating half of football to watch. I'm sick and tired of Leicester being on the floor. We certainly need that bit of edge at the top. I absolutely trust Wilder will work on that over the break. Surely he must be seeing it as well.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Get rid of lundstrum all he wants to do is pass backwards

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Nothing, we need that type of player, not Duffy!

Well we have Freeman but Wilder won't play him either

 

[Greg.]

Complete snoozefest of a game. 1 shot on target in the last 2 games is appalling.

 

[Davalon]

Two huge games and barely tested either keeper at all.

A shame it's ended this way but let's keep the perspective.

 

[VwBlade]

Legend has it, it'll be landing in 2032

That'll probably be the next time we create a chance in the box

 

[BobblesBlade]

We need 4 or 5 quality players if we are to become a top 10 premier team.

 

[FriethBlade]

What a f in brilliant season. Going out with a bit of a damp squib but top half not crapping ourselves about staying up is more than good enough for.me.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Nothing, we need that type of player, not Duffy!

d’oh, misread your post, sorry.

 

[Dan Emery]

Get rid of lundstrum all he wants to do is pass backwards

He's not been the only one. Is McGoldrick a centre forward btw? Doesn't like playing anywhere near the penalty area does he?

 

[A Storm of Blades]

We’re lacking a bit of guile, craft and flair, particularly in that ‘10’ position. Although those players aren’t exactly 2-a-penny!

 

[JPSharpy93]

Wish we had Calvert-Lewin back, fast, strong and creative.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

It looked like we had no urgency for most of the game since going behind!? Did they not know this game was pretty much win or bust?

 

[Deadbat]

We have looked a really poor side last 2. Not had a shot on goal in 2 games. Looked completely clueless. Too many passing responsibility and going backwards and sideways. Not body showed any desire at all. Been a great season but we looked a spent force again today.

 

[Bladesman]

0 shots on goal.

All huff and no end product.

 

[TJ blade]

We need 4 or 5 quality players if we are to become a top 10 premier team.

And if we've got no money it's going to be a long season, just a shame it finished like this after a brilliant start.
