“The manager and staff give us every single piece of information we need,” Schneiderlin told Everton’s website.

“It was the same against Bournemouth. But it is up to us on the pitch to make be clear [in executing our gameplan] and win.

“We are going to keep working, I am sure of that. It will be a tough game.

“Sheffield United will be another team who will try to exploit every set play and long ball. We have to work hard. We work hard every Thursday and Friday with the manager on set plays.

“It is not a lack of training or information [that has led to errors]. There are small mistakes we need to correct."
