CONFIRMED Hamza Choudhury joins on loan with option to buy

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Excellent performance. Absolutely crucial today

 

[Bladesman]

Much better today. Broke up play and worked hard.

 

[robbiez666]

His best game for us. Carried the midfield and always in the right place to mop up.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Brother played a cracker today, masha'Allah.
Ramadan Mubarak!

 

[Ron_Justice]

Felt the gravity of the occasion and played a blinder. Bravo.

 

[nopigfansintown]

Anel, Robbo, Burrows Seriki (at times) very good. Choudhury mom. Peck in and out but he goated for our goal. Thought Gus, Campbell, BBD struggled a bit. Obviously fatigued (Peck too).

It's our Lord and Saviour Brewster's day though!

 

[HarryHaslam]

Thought he was poor first half but a lot better 2nd half.

Still his only job seems to be to hang around the edge and inside our box, take the ball off centre half and pass to the full back, and try and put some blocks in, put a couple of decent blocks in the 2nd half tbf. But any play approaching the centre circle and beyond it he is non existent and it’s Peck by himself in the centre pretty much.

 

[Wireblade]

I still think he drops too deep still and that leaves Peck isolated, hence why he didn’t have the best of games. Some great blocks and interceptions though today.

That's the position he's asked to take up though. I agree with you, it leaves Peck isolated but it's how Wilder likes to start attacks.
Fantastic second half though. An absolute menace for the pigs.

 

[bladesince64]

He was outstanding today.

Broke up their possesion sonmany times.

Stood up to their attempt to intimidate us and utilise the dark arts to upset our superiority.

How many sly kicks, pushes, trips etc did they commit, thankfully the ref saw through quite a few but didn't issue yellow card nearly enough.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

After we got our goal he was enormous.

It was the Chodhury that we've seen having blinders against us at Bramall Lane.
He was all over the midfield, breaking up the play, moving it on.

Crucially though, he was doing it all much higher up the pitch and keeping us on the front foot.

Defensive masterclass at times.

I still don't like the tactic where he drops in between our CBs in possession.
But at this stage, I have to assume he's being told to do it.

 

[Champagneblade]

Thought he was good today.

After I’ve accused him of being too much sideways and back, he played a couple of nice passes between the lines, the one to Hamer to Campbell the pick.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Brother played a cracker today, masha'Allah.
Ramadan Mubarak!

If he’s fasting it makes the performance even more impressive.

Agree, at one point he and Peck were in CB positions with Anel and Robo further up, don’t know, may have been tactical.

 

[crazyblade1889]

He’s getting better every game. He’s been much improved since we started playing him as a CM. Immense yesterday

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

He’s at a very very high level when it comes to the defensive side. It’s with the ball he’s lacking.

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Maybe he was, but for a professional athlete there's no compulsion to fast.
You can either make up the fast later or offer a donation to charity. That said, in the past, there's been a couple of evening prem games that have been stopped to allow players to open their fasts - Mohammed Salah and Wes Fofana spring to mind.

 

[Bladezz]

Sign him up now.

 

[Bladezz]

He’s at a very very high level when it comes to the defensive side. It’s with the ball he’s lacking.

His passing is impeccable. He just keeps it very simple and safe.

You don’t get players who can defend like he can and attack. It’s for someone else at the side of them to do the forward / more difficult passes.

His passing is ok yeah. Impeccable is a bit extreme. When I said with the ball I’m referring to that - it’s very simple, no-risk balls. I’m not digging him out, I like him a lot. Vini is similar but probably slightly better at getting us moving up the pitch.

 

[toledo]

I thought the game yesterday was his best by a long way...

Yeah I would agree. Vini is the much better player but he cost £10million and Hamza would be a low fee I would imagine.

I was meaning impeccable more in the sense of he just plays the 10 yard passes and does them very efficiently. Very rarely loses possession.

 

[loyalblade95]

Much, much better in the second half than he was in the first.

I don't mind him dropping deep in between the CB's when we need him to but sometimes he does it when he shouldn't do it and it leaves Peck isolated.

Souza only ever dropped into the defence when absolutely necessary, otherwise he would be further forward.

But good luck to HC on international duty, I'm assuming it's friendlies or world cup qualifiers as I'm not sure what other international competitions Asian teams play in.

 

[McGrath]

Look at all those happy Blades supporters in Bangladesh there to greet him and celebrating yesterdays win.

I never knew we were so big in Bangladesh

I think this is tactical giving the FB’s the opportunity to become Wing Backs and get more width when attacking and seeing Hamer come more central to join Peck. It has worked that well yet and worse shocking against Bristol, but I see what CW is trying to do.

Ndiaye also used to fast. I remember him scranning a mars bar during one night game.

 

[Cappy]

Holy shit

It's like the comment section on our YouTube vids

mental that

Bangladesh fucking hate Wednesday
