Verdict from Joe Thomas at Bramall Lane after Everton's clash with Sheffield United
Everton are a side in need of heroes and a frantic draw at Sheffield United highlighted the four players whose form will define this season.
Amadou Onana, meanwhile, continued to show glimpses of the talent that could lead to a breakthrough season for the young midfielder. His potential was clear throughout last season and his start to this campaign has been impressive despite the results of his team. In Yorkshire he worked hard to dictate this match, not always succeeding but repeatedly showing that, with the right support, he could be a difference-maker.
This game finished 2-2 and, after Arnaut Danjuma’s second half equaliser from a superb Nathan Patterson cross, Everton were in the ascendancy but unable to push on and find a winner that would have been valuable. Dwight McNeil returned for his first minutes of the season but in the final moments, as in the previous three league games, it was the opposition that came closest to a goal. The key chances fell to the hosts in the ninth minute of stoppage time and Pickford’s brilliance saved Everton.
