Didn’t think we had a best player in the first half, maybe least worth. It was terrible. Credit to Hecky for the half time switch and adding some tempo to the game

No Doyle was good only one mind the rest awful which didn't help him doing the job of three
 

I think the problem with Sander is that he isn't aware where his own strengths lie. He's been brought up as a neat and tidy holding midfield player and would like to be playing in the centre of our midfield (a Michael Carrick type if you will).

However us fans have seen that he is far more effective in a more advanced role when carrying the ball forward and dragging opposition players out of position. He's also much stronger than his nice guy nesh nature would suggest and when he does run with the ball, the opposition can't handle his strength and physicality.

What's frustrating is that us fans only see this side of his game in fleeting moments, so when he does opt for the simple sideways pass or fails to carry on with a forward run it can be bloody annoying.

What muddies the water further is that if you watch our highlights, it's often the neat and tidy side of Sander's game that leads to chance creation - a little clever pass here, a an intelligent run to create space there. But as the cliche goes, a lot of this is the unseen work that's not always obvious when watching the game in real time.

A great set of observations. He’s never going to be a muck n nettles type is he?

Exactly lol , that’s the trouble we have been brought up watching Speight , Gannon and Monty, as soon as we get a bit of culture … Hodges , McDonald , Berge they turn in to marmite players where half are wanting the blood and thunder and half appreciate the cultured play.

I’m sorry but anyone imo that says Berge doesn’t contribute/produce is talking crap!

If Berge turns out to be as good as Glyn Hodges id be delighted , he could be a bit lazy mind , but he liked a tackle when in the mood

What he says make sense though regarding the chaos and being drawn into the way the other team want to play. We know teams in this league if they can make the game scrappy it limits the amount of time your better players or better passing players have on the ball.

I though the chaos part was more about we leg it up their end have a shot, miss, they leg it down our end have a shot, miss, repeat ad nauseam. That's the chaos.

Whereas these days - for some teams and players at least - it's more about creating good chances, so if there's a shot on but it's low percentage then it's best to (dare I say it) pass it sideways :eek: or even backwards :mad:, keep possession and work a better chance.

Not just Shooooooot!

Remember at kop end think Tracey threw it out to Hodges just outside area wi no one else near , except this big fuck off Villa striker who was on him straight away , Hodgy had quick look round , realised he was on his own and up against it , so just fucking nutmegged him sweet as fuck !
 
He’s absolutely class. Of course he has his limitations but it’s a pleasure to watch him play most of time. He’s never going to be a hack and hoof type like Monty, nor is he going to cover every blade of grass. Unfortunately these are the two main attributes a lot of our fan base require in their midfielders. Hence the criticism.
 
Berge contributes in safe and clever ways, which isn’t exciting.

People don’t remember safe and clever, so they revert to him being shit.

It’s not helped by the times he sees a gap and bombs into it, creating that excitement and making people think that’s all he’s here for.

Unfortunately ‘luxury’ players are rare in the premier now , if they cant cover the ground , and tackle they dont last long ,unless they are world class , so i think he needs to improve on the basics , cus the talents there
 
This is the game for Berge to show us what he can do but has not been doing in the championship. He is a very good player his passing is very good. through balls to Ndiaye against Man City. the players should be up for this game. nowt to lose speed up the tempo, and some FA Cup magic at Wembley for us. Everyone will be expecting City to win 5-0 like that twat Sutton on the BBC sport website. come on Blades have a reght go at them.UTB.
 

I've been very critical of Berge since he arrived for all the reasons that a lot of others have stated many times.

However, in the last few games there has been a marked uptick in his all round strength,fitness and athleticism. I believe it may be down to the 2 Manc lads upping the quality of passing and movement in midfield and Heckys coaching influence.

Sometimes players have a barnstorming 'once in a career' season (Browny)and I have high hopes of this next PL one being it for him.

He has shown real class in these last couple of months. I agree, playing alongside more mobile players in Macca and Doyle has something to do with it.
 
Like a lot of footballers he needs to be fully match sharp to see thw best of him

Of course when he is not playing well that is just an excuse and he doesnt care
