Match Thread Aston Villa v. Sheffield United - 17th June 2020

[Brownieblade]

Apparently the premier league are going to hire Dominic Cummings for their press release to explain the non goal

 

[DaleHillBlade]

The only positive to this is the reemergence of 40 VAR threads
Still one of shittest decisions all season

Would not be if VAR did what it’s entire point is. Crap ref, let down by his linesman, let down by Hawkeye, let down by VAR. Fucking useless.

 

[LJBlade]

We’ve been very much second best here so far

 

[DaleHillBlade]

We’ve been very much second best here so far

Apart from having scored. But otherwise, agreed.

 

[FriethBlade]

Missing Flecks drive in midfield and need some pace up front.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Sander Berge looks so off the pace still. Worryingly unfit, but at times doesn't seem to be putting it in either. Baldock was moaning about his lack of movement a minute ago, he's struggling to get in behind because Berge is so stationary.

At 6'4 he's losing an awful lot in the air too.

 

[VwBlade]

Bonus of the night, Jack Robinson has a monster of a throw in. Need Luke Freeman on IMO

 

[FriethBlade]

Grealish just made Berg look stupid there

 

[LJBlade]

Apart from having scored. But otherwise, agreed.

It was a goal from nothing though. We’ve not (officially) registered a shot on target

 

[Innuendoandouttheother]

Is Sander Berge a fake?

Looks like a mix of Jon-Joe O'Toole and Johnny Ertl at the mo. What on earth happened!?

 

[DronnieBlade]

Has to be Burger Boy and McBaffling doesn’t it ?

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Remember when Leeds gave Villa a goal which saw Villa on their way to promotion.

Interesting set of morals that Dean Smith has today isn't it...

Shithouse. Massively gone down in my estimation. Should have given us a goal at the beginning of the 2nd half.

I'm pretty sure Wilder asked him the question too. He seemed to tell the bench something and they all had their heads in their hands as if in disbelief. Sharp seemed to think that was what was going down at kick off too, pointing at their goal.

Dean Smith - bell end.

Goal is a goal.

Mings left the pitch at drinks break, is that allowed?

He needed time to settle in before the postponement and the situation is the same now. Give the lad time. Liverpool weren't after him for no reason. Most of the players have been poor so far

 

[Bobby b]

The game is just passing Berge by, time for him to come off

[blademark]

Very disappointing this. I can only think of Jack Robinson who has impressed me.
Let's hope subs make a difference.

Agree not one attempt on target tell's me the midfield ain't working

 

[DronnieBlade]

OMG

 

[YES Blade]

Got to score!

I'd love to be proved otherwise, but I think he lacks the tenacity required in a Wilder side. I'd far rather have had us playing Besic, but alas...

 

[Wards]

Mousset for McB

 

[Wards]

Been shit this. Crap game, GLT robbing us and we’ve deserved to lose

 

[hull-Blade]

Mousset for McB

Good shout , his pace would trouble their tiring defence

 

[Brownieblade]

Come on moose

 

[SwindonBladeJnr]

Think I'd have had Lys on earlier.

 

[DaleHillBlade]

GLT has its part to play.. but why didn’t the linesman see it? No players in the way.

It’s like any technology, you don’t question it after a while. That’s why the VAR didn’t refer it, watch didn’t buzz so no point looking.

What’s the point of it then?

 

[DaleHillBlade]

Didzy “apparently still popular” with Blades fans according to Sky. Given they have got bookings and subs wrong all evening, yet more professional broadcasting.
