Sorry but even if we somehow manage to win this there’s no way we end the season above Fulham.

 

[Blade58]

Can’t believe didzy is not playing
At least he offers a link to the strikers and tends to bring Fleck into the game
Currently there’s absolutely nothing

 

[drblade]

Cannot see the fucking ball against the white background

 

[Lawrence]

CW Going crackers, His team and formation is strange and not working! We are all over the place! Mid field terrible bash, not a midfielder, Fleck not in the game! Forwards can’t get the ball? Sharpe running about after nothing! CW really messed this up!

 

[SUFCinks]

This is the difference between a team of triers and runners vs technical ability

 

[georgethecat]

They look like they have more players than us

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

72 passes. Wow

Including passes to fulham players

 

[veganblade]

 

[The Hecky Flecky Shake]

Wish the post match press would have the balls to ask what the thinking was with the game plan. Someone needs to question it.

 

[essexblade73]

They look like they have more players than us

Thats called passing and moving, we dont do that anymore!

 

[Chilttheblade]

Exiting stuff

 

[jalfie69]

Can't believe I have 46 coat hangers in my wardrobe, I would have guessed 30 tops

 

[YES Blade]

To say this has been one of the worst halves of football in a season this bad, is a pretty fucking spectacular effort.

Just when you think we can’t get any worse this season! Fucking up there with one of the worst United performances in a long long time!

 

[HeySethUTB]

No flow, basham is an inspiring player defensively, doesn’t offer much in the middle of the park. I.e. first touch, shielding the ball and finding a pass, Sharp hasn’t got the pace to run on to much that has been played into the channels, McBurnie same issue. These two would be good up front if we were dominating possession but that’s not happening.

Wilder said pre match mangers would understand his selection but people from “a far” may not. Could you enlighten us from a far, because to me without a bit of luck we‘re looking like sitting ducks in waiting.

BTW clever and quite Brilliant way of disregarding fan’s opinion, in the sense that not many of us are managers. Poor form Chris.

 

[Geordie Blade]

Give it five more minutes and then I’m going to say it...

OK, I can’t hold off any longer . . . * * clears throat * * . . .

“We’re missing Norwood”.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Exiting stuff

Well I feel like exiting that is for certain

 

[Cruyff Turn]

This is absolutely dismal. By both sides. But United doubly so

 

[Antarctic Monkey]

McBurnie is so shit its untrue. He has 2 talents fouling players and heading it to a Fulham opposition player. He aint even Championship standard

Watch him next season, there is zero meaningful supply

 

[Bertie Mee]

Exiting stuff

Don’t recognise the performance whatsoever or the obvious omissions from the team. Is he deliberately trying to get the sack?

 

[LJBlade]

Lol. Suppose so but it's a big if. A draw would be excellent news.

Apologies, I forgot just how wet some of our fans can be sometimes.

 

[drblade]

Maybe we are playing for a point

 

[RWE]

When is the time to seriously question CW (btw I love the bloke before the hate) why he’s picked the tactics/selection. We surely have to go out to every game now and try to win. Even if we’re already down it shows a bit of fight. Why pick 2 slow forwards, why not play with a number 10, why pick a flat 3 midfield every single game, why not be more fluid with formations to suit against different teams, where are those brilliant set pieces we used to do in league 1? And yes I know we have injuries but this has gone on since we played Villa after the last lockdown.

 

[HydeParkBlade]

Agreed, but it's a shit tactic and never offers anything. Absolutely turgid dog shit to watch, and an inevitable loss.

No disagreements there!

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

We’re shite

 

[toledo]

Commentator on Peacock coverage .. this is the worst I have Sheffield United all season..

 

[The Bear]

Don’t recognise the performance whatsoever or the obvious omissions from the team. Is he deliberately trying to get the sack?

Almost looking forward to Pompey's 'My take'.

 

[Tonepone]

Does Lunny ever close down, or just get to 5 yards from his man and then decide its someone else's job!?

 

[RWE]

Funny that I’d rather have Leon or Madine over McBurnie , and I’d rather have the League 1 midfield over the Prem one. Funny old game.

 

[drblade]

Forgot Lunnywas playing

 

[knowsnowt]

Fuck this I need lager.
