Bottleless Blades, Wilders unnecessary tinkering and bigging up other clubs

[Mattblade68]

Further note , I doubt Farke set Leeds up based on our performance last season versus Newcastle...

Leeds Play Off Team versus Leeds line up versus Blades

Only two players same outfield wise . So , how we can really use that fact the previous Leeds team ' struggled' ( let alone the one off occasion it was) to help decide our formation I do not know:-

Leeds United: Meslier; Gray, Rodon, Ampadu, Firpo; Gruev, Kamara; Gnonto, Rutter, Summerville; Piroe

Starting XI: Meslier (GK), Bogle, Junior, Struijk (C), Rodon, Rothwell, Piroe, Aaronson, Ramazani, Tanaka, G

Has it occurred to anyone that when the gaffer bigs up other clubs, it’s for very specific “mind games” reasons ?

Or even better than that, a thinly disguised taking the piss out of “massive” clubs that are legendary within their own fan bases (and only their own fan bases in many instances e.g. Leeds !) ?

Not lost on moi .

Bryn Law said much the same in an interview on You Tube.Seemed to think gamesmanship was at play.
Although when Chris says such stuff he doesn't do it with his mischievous face on.Think he rattles a bit sometimes

Previously unbeaten, but as usual our fans forget that every match has three possible results….

Win, lose or draw, that’s the way the pisspot cracks.

Live with it.

We don’t have a choice but to live with it, it’s happened and can’t be changed.

People on a Sheffield United forum are likely to discuss the game though.

Live with it.

His post match interview was piss poor in my opinion. I don’t care whether he wants to play mind games or not, if he thinks they work then he’s more than welcome to play them.

His approach on Friday was to absolve himself of responsibility for the negative formation and tactics, blame his players and big up their players. That’s not ‘mind games’ it’s a poor reaction to a poor performance and result.

Hiding behind the “he’s the manager so he knows better” idea largely negates any discussion and we may as well shut his forum down.

It’s a shame you didn’t think “he knew better” when you slagged off one of Wilder’s signings and OUR striker for the duration of his time at the club. But that fit your narrative so it was fair game I suppose.

Someone says something you disagree with though and you get high and mighty and all bigger Blade.

Fantastic comeback.

Don’t mention the war to the new England manager.

It’s not a comeback, it’s a discussion as to why I thought what you’d said was incorrect.

I know this is something that internet people struggle with and I wouldn’t expect either of us to change our point of view, however imploring me to back the manager’s decisions when you’ve derided one relentlessly for years is a bit hypocritical.

Thanks for putting me straight.

Love : Internet person slash hypocrite !!!

P. s supporters support. If we were bottom of the league, your own points being critical of the manager would carry more weight. IMHO,

 

[Johnyblade1]

Let’s hope Wilders pre-game banter doesn’t run to Middlesbrough being another massive club that reached a European Cup final in 2006 and are potentially another Newcastle...... Can he just concentrate on Sheffield United being a big club that Sheffield United fans want to return back to the premier league and let the opposition worry about us ....

Strange that we weren't having this debate when CW put Basham in midfield against them..

We lost a game of football deluded nonsense.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

The way Leeds toyed with us on Friday showed how much better they are, if they aren't promoted by pancake day it'll be astounding, 3 cheers for leeds united. No-one is finishing higher than them.

Watfords giving them a game

Shit that must mean watford are also amazing, how dare they attack at Elland Road

Yeah they’ve mastered the art of playing in the Leeds half causing the Leeds wing backs to shit it as they can’t defend

 

[The Hobott]

Unbeaten, 6 consecutive clean sheets. If you decide to change what achieved that and it fails. It's on you!

Weirdly our usual tactics tend to suffocate and stifle other teams really successfully - to try to tweak that seems self defeating.
I think he mid-gamed himself.

Lost 2.1

They have conceded 19 goals in 11 games, they have no option but to attack, it failed.

Cleverley out - now.

 

[Mattblade68]

Aah correct , only 7 different in team then , so virtually same side as Friday night ...

well it did not work did it

There is a rapidly developing school of thought on here that we, the royal we, have a RIGHT to be successful. That we can’t ever get things wrong.

Just dunt work like that.
