    Frustrating that we can't seem to get over the line against inferior opposition. Once the players on the injury list are back, the Everton are going to fly. Top six is a non-negotiable.

    Six shots on target apiece, two goals apiece so far. A draw would probably be a fair result, but both teams would absolutely love to get a winner.

    Fabien: Darren @ 14.57 Everyone seems to be forgetting that we have Harrison, Coleman, DCL and Alli injured plus McNeil not yet fully fit. Will make a big difference once they're back.

    Ashley Young does take the free-kick and whips it over the wall, but there's just not enough pace on the shot to cause Wes Foderingham any problems and he catches the ball.

    Can either side get their first league win of the season? Ten minutes plus injury time to go.

    Should Archer be credited with an assist for the Pickford o.g.? Seems only fair.

    Archer was very much a reluctant sale from Villa. Asking for a friend, how soon can the buy-back clause be activated?

    Sheffield United 2-2 Everton

    A change for Everton as Dwight McNeil gets his first action of the campaign after getting injured in pre-season and he replaces James Garner.

    Meanwhile, Cameron Archer leaves to a great reception having scored one, made one, and on comes Benie Traore.

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 72 mins

    Sheffield United 2-2 Everton

    Everton's Abdoulaye Doucoure, who scored the first of the game's four goals, gets a booking for an over-enthusiastic shoulder barge, sending Gustavo Hamer to the deck.

    A good spell this for the hosts.

  11. Postpublished at 70 mins

    Sheffield United 2-2 Everton

    A chance for Sheffield United to regain the lead. Luke Thomas, who has only just come on, is found at the back post and connects with a side-footed volley, but Jordan Pickford had done well to narrow the angle, with the strike hitting Pickford's chest and bouncing away. Good save and maybe a very crucial one.

    Aidan: You make your own luck in football. And when you're as wasteful as this Everton team your just asking the other team to score

    Duncan: Yes, I know the season has just begun but with only one forward, two midfielders, two defenders and two goalies on the bench. It's going to be a long and painful season for Everton. They got lucky staying up last season but this season they're going down.

    Huge goal for Everton. Adamant they’ll edge Sheffield Utd in the battle for 18th now.

    Luke

    Sheffield United deserved to concede there, so many attempts to foul Everton players in the build up.

    Ref should be given credit for playing advantage for Everton goal, easy to criticise but good refereeing
