It is almost like there is an agreement They don't try that hard and neither do we They win by a low score and we preserve energy for the WBA game

 

[BangorBlade]

Didzy for Brewster hopefully

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

One if the biggest differences in the two sets of players I see is their ball control. Their first touch takes them away from a potential tackle and createsspace. Ours puts the player under pressure and forces an error. I guess that's why they cost a lot of millions.

Correct, and they work their bollocks off as well.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Not sure how Wilder rates Brewster for £25m

 

[BarcaBlade]

Their players just don’t have any weaknesses. They all - without exception - have immaculate first touches, good football brains, body strength, pace and an eye for a killer pass.

58 minutes in and I’m still waiting to see who’s in goal for them.

They're not using a goalie today.

Send him a letter.

 

[SteveBlade]

You continue sucking off bellends who call a blades legend shite...

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Correct, and they work their bollocks off as well.

Yes they do and to be fair both teams are.

 

[FriethBlade]

We're still in this, we couldn't knick a point could we

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

We're still in this, we couldn't knick a point could we

Damn right we could

 

[Arcott]

Keep it tight for the next 15 then go for it. If we concede 2 - 0 isn't too bad. Let one in now and there is no incentive to try to attack as we could then get spanked

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Too much fannying about on the ball. We look pretty indecisive

 

[Kelso]

Never trust my dreams again, I woke up absolutely convinced we were going to win 6-5 , the scorers I had a slight issue with, , but not the score

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Commentators still saying the opposition not playing well. For once give united credit for stopping citey from scoring. I.e. their job.

 

[blademark]

The best I can say for us, is that they aren't really carving us apart.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Every time we have a chance to get hold of it we’re snatching at it. It’s what City do to you I suppose

 

[BangorBlade]

Ramers great save

 

[Drunk blade]

His reading of the game isn't great, but at 23, you can't expect his reading of the game to be perfect.

Was that sarcastic can't tell?

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

RAMMERS

 

[essyoueffsee]

How does our midfield go from last game to this performance. Can't even trap a ball.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

They might get nervous last 10

 

[YES Blade]

Might as throw another striker on now, nothing to lose

 

[tincan]

Why does Ramsdale always boot it as hard as he can? Surely a floated ball to half way would be better?

Every GK or clearance hands possession back to Citi

 

[SUFCinks]

Barely touched the ball all game. No point going out to chase the ball around for 90 mins and expect to compete.

 

[BettingBlade]

Every GK or clearance hands possession back to Citi

We're just not quick enough to pick up on the second balls. Think, understandably, we're not committing the midfield forward so we dont get picked off

 

[BangorBlade]

Oh 4 up top lol

 

[Swinton Blade]

Maybe this a new and improved ramsdale.

 

[FredZeppelin]

McBurnie on. Game over. Down to 10.
Hope I'm wrong.
UTB

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Lundstram off please

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Might as well go long now
