[haich1889]

I think in possession we look OK so far, not done too much with it but some composure. Obviously we arent going to score so probably game over.

So have we looked ok in possession pr not done much?? Can't have both surely!!

 

[AdamSufc1997]

The David Weir memories are coming back

 

[FriethBlade]

We arent getting enough bodies up the pitch quick enough. Didzy was isolated then and had to wait far too long for support.

Thats because we've got 3 geriatrics in midfield

 

[SiamBlade]

So many 5-yard passes just given away under no pressure. Their first touch is like when we played under Atkins.
They are lucky there are no fans allowed. They’d be getting dogs’ abuse for this. Don’t care what they’ve done in the past, there’s no excuse for such basic errors

 

[JackSUFC]

Bottom of the league and 1-0 down: 0 attempts on goal in 30 mins.

It’s a disgrace by this point.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that we will be in a relegation scrap in the Championship with this pile of fucking shit calling itself a Sheffield United team. The worst I’ve ever seen, I never thought I would I would see a worse side than the 1988 side. Bravo Chris.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Every time I think “that is the worst we could possibly play” we find a new level. Abysmal

 

[JOEYDEE]

So 31 minutes gone and not even had a shot...

 

[FriethBlade]

Mousset looking a bit brighter today

 

[Lawrence]

Anyone on here think Ampadu offers anything?

 

[Geordie Blade]

We make passing the ball around the back line look so hard, even when there’s no opponent within twenty yards. No wonder we can’t do anything further up the pitch.

 

[SUFCinks]

So have we looked ok in possession pr not done much?? Can't have both surely!!

We arent just smashing it long, trying to pass it on the floor and few nice norwood pings but its too slow and not very purposeful, it does restrict palaces time on the ball if we have it though.

 

[haich1889]

 

[YES Blade]

1 clean sheet for Palace all season, got a feeling number 2 is on it's way

 

[A Storm of Blades]

What does Wilder see watching this? How slow we are, how cowardly the football is.

 

[The Darton Blade]

This is so embarrassing,I'm going out to clear the snow. No way back for the blades, we simply aren't good enough

 

[SUFCinks]

Eze coming on now - not good for us.

 

[VwBlade]

Fuck me, we are beyond woeful

 

[A Storm of Blades]

What are we doing in training? Do we practice passing the ball AT ALL?

 

[Flatcap]

The art of the first touch seems lost on quite a few of our players. It really is bizarre, the extreme drop off in ability for some of them.

Fleck actually looks to be putting more effort in... If I had to think of a positive...

 

[Granada Blade]

I think we might get relegated

 

[Chris the Blade]

Mousset looking a bit brighter today

That doesn't take much

 

[Headshrinker]

Why not let him lay there for another five minutes? What is the hurry?

 

[TJ blade]

Mousset looking a bit brighter today

His shirt does

 

[Flumps]

There is almost a massive barrier when we get in the second half you can see the players fighting the urge to pass back. Very very weird.

I'm also bored of this now so I'm going to have a walk in the snow to Aldi for some beers and a pizza tonight.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

That’s where I’m placing blame 100% on the management. We look still I’ll prepared for anything the opposition do. Jog towards us? PANIC! Can’t get down the sides? PANIC! Have the ball for more than 2 seconds? PANIC!

 

[Chris the Blade]

I think we might get relegated

From the Championship next season

 

[HeySethUTB]

The way we play reminds of a 7 a side football team with two shit players that can’t pass the ball, or are suicidally slow with it, sure they run around make the odd tackle and at the end of the night you give them a pat on back “Well done lads, great effort” the other five are thinking fuck me don’t ever pass the ball to those two. A short story about Ampadu and Osborn.

 

[FredZeppelin]

My prediction of 'our first shot coming in the 44th minute' still has a chance.
That's a positive!
UTB

 

[RecordBreakers]

We are utter fucking shit no other way to describe us
