Yep, much better game from most people today. Just fell apart the last couple of mins defensively
 
Agree.....for much of that 2nd half we found our slick passing again.
We’ve been slightly the better side today....you have to take the positives and for the 1st time since the break we’ve been decent.
We either lacked quality with the final ball or was unlucky with the ball not quite falling for us....but at least we’ve improved.
 
Second half, we looked like our old selves refusing to lose.

We do better on that second goal and we go on to win.
 
We doubled Arsenal just to put things into prospective.

Good effort though.

We've been unlucky with marginal offside, split second stuff. Officials not to blame for them, but he is bent as fuck. Every time one of them dropped to the floor he blew his whistle. Fleck gets wiped out in the build up to the goal and nothing. If that was the other way around he would have blown for it. Guaranteed.

He's a bent fuck.
 
Much betrer but the worrying thing is they were toying with us. Whilst leading they did enough to keep us out and largely hold onto the ball. As soon as we equalise they think 'you know what maybe we should just pop down their end and score' and thats exactly what they did...without too much trouble
 
Not sure why 1 of 5 others in in the box did not try to close Ceballos, if they did Hendo is covering a tight angle for the second. At least we scored, but how did Bask miss that header?

Yeah, I don't blame him either. At least he was fairly consistent with blowing his whistle on every single tackle.

Felt for the lads today. They were far better than they have been and can feel a little unlucky. Still, we were undone by a couple of daft moments at the back again. Tough one to take but the signs there are positive.
 
All that hard work then Stevens goes and blows it, once gain.

'sake.
 
Played a lot better today , bit more like our old selves , can’t knock the effort just that bit more composure in the last 3rd & a bit niece at the end conceding late winner
Thought ref was shocking today some bewildering decisions.
Glad for McBurnie & Berge today hopefully they might get some of there critics off their backs
 
It wasn't an absolutely brilliant performance. But relative to the previous three games, yes - a huge improvement.

A lot of players are still way off their pre-lockdown levels; Egan, Stevens, Fleck, Norwood & McGoldrick.

Encouraging signs were Berge putting in a really determined display, full of quality in possession & off-the-ball running. McBurnie was excellent, our only threat. Physically he gave them a lot of trouble and on the deck he played some really nice stuff.
 
Best performance in a blades shirt from Robinson and Berge no questions about that.

Special shout out to K. Freeman who also did excellent and may find have put Baldock's position under a bit of pressure.

Really pleased for you.
We took four points from Arsenal in the league and then we made it to the FA cup quarterfinals.
You must be proud sitting in 15th and getting knocked out at home to Wednesday all the way back in Jan.

Ps. It’s perspective
 
Shaper, quicker and much more positive today. Looked a lot more threatening. Not disappointed about the result.

Berge and Mcburnie played welll today both effective and so was Robinsons long throw. Hopefully we'll keep this momentum up in our remaining fixtures.

How annoying is Steve Mcmanaman!!

It's not for me either really but this really was a shocking display from him. Almost every challenge saw a yellow shirt go down & he blew for a foul for them. Then they roll around like they have been shot & slow the game down, they did it every time we built up some momentum, I don't like it but every team do this & we are naive by continuing to ignore this part of the game. A competent ref will see this play acting but a display such as Teirney's really does make me question his honesty, & if he makes those decisions believing them to be correct then he is incompetent & not up to the standard.

Absolutely brilliant performance today. Much much better. Especially Mcburnie and Berge.

Paul Tierney is a waste of oxygen and a disgrace to the human race.
