sander Berge

[Bergen Blade]

Can't agree, he was average at best and lets be right we do our job in the first half we are 2 up instead of them.

Berge was sideways passing more than he has driving them forward. He won a header though so that's something. Unless he turned into Rodri or KBD in the last 15 minutes when I fucked off?

Surprised to read that - so much I decided to have a look at what Burnley fans thought.

I really don't care what Burnley fans think considering their first two goals were a deflection and we could should have been 1 or 2 goals up ourselves, I have seen Sander enough over the years to form an opinion of him.

Berge is very good at some stuff and poor at other things. I was more impressed with Hamer today than Berge.

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

we gave him the freedom of bramall lane because souza is doing a lundstrum and has downed tools he should never be allowed to put the shirt on again but hes not on his own add mcburnie trusty anel and that complete joke of a keeper weve got between the sticks all 4 should be booted out of the club and quick

Abso-fookin-lutely.

Based on what i saw last night our Under 12's would put up a much better fight!! I'm only half joking...

Guessing you'd rather see Ben osborn run around Like a headless chicken?. Berge was a quality player that our fans never appreciated.

Just read what the Burnley boys thought and I agree, he should be playing at a higher standard than us or Burnley, maybe somebody like Arsenal will see something in him, he would be a good fit

Player Comparison: Sander Berge vs. Gustavo Hamer vs. Tommy Doyle

For those who love stats some interesting ones from this season.

Hamer leads by LOADS for goal involvements. He also has superior progressive runs and shooting. Very poor pass completion%, passes and defensive actions.

Berge far superior for pass completion, passes made, progressive passes, touches, progressive carries and defensive actions. Poor goal involvements & shooting.

Doyle despite much less game time (almost 1/3 of hamer) he has more completed passes than Hamer, a much better completion % and similar amount of defensive contributions. Far less goal involvements than hamer who has pretty good stats for his offensive contributions.

I know they play slightly different positions and in teams with different styles but interesting to see. It shows how off our recruitment has been. Hamer has great attributes (offensively) but he clearly hasn’t been the midfield replacement for either doyle or berge that we needed and still need.

I’d have liked to see Berge play with Hamer, and Doyle, not expect him to replace the pair of them

 

[diplomat]

Nothing impressed me about him today.

Really?

 

[Houston_Blade]

There was a passage of play where McBurnie bounced off him, then little Ben just got shrugged aside and he came away with the ball. Even though our perception of him was that he was soft as shit he’s still much more athletic than some of the wasters we’ve got in our current squad.

I know why we sold him and I know why he left, it’s a poor state of affairs when Burnley is seen as a move up in the world for our players.

 

[Keen Blade]

Did you actually watch the game? He played several incisive passes in behind the full back to send them away. I get you don't rate him but your dislike has blinded you today.

Whereas none of our midfielders played any passes inside their defenders for our guys to run onto - we played the entire game in front of their defence , hardly ever making their defenders turn - when the fuck are we gonna learn that you can't attack by having the recipient of the pass having as defender marking him - it's like we play feckin walking football - never seen such slow impotent attacks - rubbish

 

[Gaini Blade]

My only

Nothing impressed me about him today.

Looked like he was out for a walk in the park with the dog to me.

 

[Gimli]

I know the direct Berge replacement was Hamer who I think has been good this year despite our shite season…

But Jesus Christ how much better did Berge look than fucking Souza today?!?!

The fella wants to play for Brazil

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Anyone booing Berge needs their ticket taking off them. He didn't want to leave last summer and certainly not for Burnley but as he wouldn't sign a new deal it was made clear to him that he should leave. United made that decision, not Berge.

He'll get a polite clap from me. He's a lovely player to watch when he's on it and he's clearly a nice lad but he's too passive to ever make the most of his talent. Shame. That said, someone will take a punt on him this summer and he'll stay in the top flight.

Not wanting to sign a new deal says to me he does want to leave? I didn't boo him because I boo no one but I weren't ever a fan anyway.

See you next season Sander.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Berge was the best footballer on the pitch today. Gave the ball away once in 90 minutes. Bodied Mcburnie off it twice and beat him in the air twice. Each to their own but I was disappointed to hear the booing by the neanderthals. The club got rid of him and he's been a big miss. Hamer was a bit better today but not on Berge’s level.

He didn't want to sign a new deal.. I say well done United on cashing in on the '1 good game outta 5' Berge.

 

[Cheesebored]

You're entitled to your opinion but the club were touting him in January. He might well have wanted away but the club were desperate to cash in on him.

 

[coolasanidiot]

Berge was realy good on Saturday, he was up for it, and the booing probably spurred him on further. But we all seen what he's like- you get 1 game out of 5 like this.

At the money we paid we were expecting far far more than we got.

When we sold Berge it was 'Meh' - when we sold Ili that was a different kettle of fish, Berge was overall a 5 Ili was a straight 10 and it was heartbreak when he went.

 

[Champagneblade]

He might still be a PL player next season.

If Burnley can eke out one more point due to their goal difference then they just need us to turn up against those who should have had a stadium ban. Every chance Forest can lose both remaining home games (City, Chelsea).

We do that and it could be all on the last game.

And I would love a good pitch invasion from the home side if that happens!

 

[SUFCinks]

Won Burnleys player & fans player of the season awards. I recon he will go to a bigger club this summer.

Still find it almost comical how half our fan base thought he was shit. One of the most gifted players we’ve had. A real kick in the balls to those who thought he was crap. Or those implying Burnley fans didn’t rate him.

Even after he's gone, you're still clutching at straws...

We were punting him around so much in January and the summer he actually moved into a hotel. Wonder if he dismantled his Corby trouser press.

He’s a quality player and I expect he will get a decent move this summer. In that respect if it happens his move to Burnley will have proven a good decision, as a year in the shop window with them will have been better than with our shitshow.

Winning 2 awards isn’t clutching at straws. It proves how out of touch, and thick all the haters were. Basically hounded at the club whilst begging for someone like Souza to replace him.

 

[Wards]

Still some United fans out there that haven't realised that when this club lets good footballers go we tend to replace them with inferior ones. Some of you will likely get the same feeling if/when we allow McBurnie to walk for nothing.

I came too the conclusion years ago and I would say its more than half of our fan base, know naff all about football.
They would sooner have someone who runs about alot and can kick the ball down field and show a bit of "Passion".
Alot of our fans are like lemmings once a player starts too get criticised they jump on the band wagon and follow suit, it sort of reminds me of the fast show sketch when they are in the pub talking about something and one guy mentions who in his opinion is the best then someone else has a different opinion and he immediately agrees with them.
I'm really going too put my tin hat on now with Souza there is a player in there.
Now I'm not saying he should be playing for Brazil or even our player of season (I hope we aren't even having a player of the season) but there is something there and let's face it he's been playing in arguably the worst Premiership side ever, but I think with better players around him he would be ok. He'll get his move away but it will be interesting as to where he ends up and how he gets on..

To , not Too

Souza - maybe there is ability - but that is totally overwhelmed by his atrocious attitude

I don't think anyone really thought he was shit did they? I think many of us thought he was more ineffective than he should be, and very frustrating to watch.

Sorry Sir I will 'right' it out 100 times

Can't argue about his attitude, maybe management could have got more out of him.

To be honest I think alot of our fans are lashing out just because of the season we've had. When we got promoted there's a very very weird feeling about it because we were all happy to see United getting promoted but we all knew the season would pan out just like it has. I guess bits of us were hoping for that underdog mentality to kick in and we'd see some team performances to grind out results. Also didn't happen.

No we're apparently a club with zero prospects heading to league 1 with no money, no players, crap owner, over hill manager and zero hope so if we see one of our ex players apparently not doing so well without us it makes some of our fans feel a little better. Put it this way I don't envy the ex's of some people on here..

Runs about a lot and shows passion seriously, who's done that this season then ?

If he was still here some would be moaning he can’t head a ball or some other nonsense, clueless. Thankfully the majority of blades knew and know he’s a rolls royce of a player and it was a pleasure to watching him, hopefully he gets a bigger move.

 

[SUFCinks]

I’ve seen some very damning feedback thrown his way. Waste of space, useless etc.

I think there were expectations from some that he almost single handedly should be doing his role plus the role of others. An offensive and defensive powerhouse. Defensively he had room for improvement, i wouldn’t argue against that. But that’s not his qualities. His passing and progressive play was. I don’t know many midfielders that have all those attributes at a high level. And if they are then they are most likely at city etc.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

I do think he was underrated by our fans. This myth that he was crap most of the time here is just silly. Even when he wasn't at his best, he was generally neat and tidy and was always one of our best players technically. I'm not surprised he's looked decent in a more possession-based team, even at the highest level. Great assist yesterday too.
