[HarryHaslam]

Takes off a midfielder and puts his poor centre forward into midfield. Madness.

 

[jono_t2000]

Someone start a chant.

"Chrissy Wilder you're just a Heckingbottom in disguise"

 

[CornwallBlade]

Absolute nightmare by Wes

 

[Bobby b]

All my favourable comments I said about our defense in the first half id like to take back please, we've returned to comical defending again

 

[Houston_Blade]

The improvement in the defending has quite frankly been astonishing

Blades defence……

Hold my beer

 

[Colombia Blade]

Even the Chelsea players seemed confused almost the entire defence just stopped playing

 

[Peaktrade]

Slimane linked up so well with Archer last game, wtf does he have to do to get a game??

 

[Bobby b]

Blades defence……

Hold my beer

VAR is looking at your comment, and has ruled that my comment was already taken back in the lead up to your comment

 

[toledo]

Not sure what to think or say at this point.... as good a first half defensively, its the opposite this half..

toledo

 

[BobblesBlade]

New manager bounce lasted one game. Wilder is not fit to manage in the Premier League. He will not be fit to manage a championship squad.

Same old Utd. Keep it local keep it shite.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Flat as a fart performance so far Chelsea not even out of ferkin neutral

 

[Wetwang blade]

United's imploding again. They can pass to each other but would sooner kick the ball away to the opposition, they are better than that, what the feck do they do in training? At least McB's off so the line may advanced!

 

[toledo]

2nd goal was farcical for sure

 

[232 Bramall Lane]

At least we didn't fall apart until after half time.
That's an improvement.

 

[232 Bramall Lane]

WTF was Wes doing for that 2nd goal?
Saving a corner to gift a goal!

 

[Bladesthorpe]

What's so surprising ? Get real we will get hidings from the likes of Chelsea, Villa and City over the next few away games. Our squad can't compete at this level

 

[Mendi]

So poor.

 

[PokerBlade]

Game abandoned at Luton. Lockyer collapsed on the pitch needing medical attention.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Just don’t lose 3 or 4 and it’s a half decent outcome, we’ll not get many points away this season

 

[Bobby b]

Mcatee's touch has been way off this afternoon

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Macatee has been awful today. Couldnt trap a bag of cement

 

[BobblesBlade]

Chelsea are shite at the moment.

 

[PokerBlade]

Just don’t lose 3 or 4 and it’s a half decent outcome, we’ll not get many points away this season

They just have to undermine me though. When I'm thinking there's no shame in losing and then we let in a comedy goal.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Fernandez sticks his arse into Lowe, bounces off him, ref gives Lowe a yellow!

 

[Hamandcheese]

Game abandoned at Luton. Lockyer collapsed on the pitch needing medical attention.

Twice in 7 months. Hopefully he's ok, and quits while he's ahead (alive) and retires. He's achieved great things playing. Could easily be a very good coach/manager, seems that type

 

[YES Blade]

Chelsea are shite at the moment.

They’ve still got far better quality that we have, it’s hardly a surprise that we’re going to lose at Chelsea away.

The stupid decision was not sacking Hecky earlier and giving Wilder winnable games such Bournemouth and Burnley.

 

[Blade]

Lowe with a booking for the kind of tackle they've got away with at least 5 or 6 times so far. Like to see a better angle of the ball mcatee supposedly took over the line just before osula tapped in. Linesman very quick to flag and not even a thought of letting the move finish and a var check.

 

[Houston_Blade]

They just have to undermine me though. When I'm thinking there's no shame in losing and then we let in a comedy goal.

Trusty falling over then Anel playing leapfrog over Sterling before Wes passes him the ball back and no one marks the shit multi million bloke at the back post, couldn’t make it up

 

[PokerBlade]

Twice in 7 months. Hopefully he's ok, and quits while he's ahead (alive) and retires. He's achieved great things playing. Could easily be a very good coach/manager, seems that type

I was trying to remember if it was him before and wasn't sure. Hope he's alright.

 

[Cheesebored]

Wilder has us more organised for sure but we're still miles off it.
