Match Thread Sheffield United v. Liverpool - 28th February 2021

[Iceybabey]

Burke adds a completely different dimension to our play. I know his finishing is terrible but we actually look dangerous with him in the side

Mousse should be doing that job. There's no doubt that on his day, Mousse is deadly but sadly he's let everyone down this season.

 

[gordoncharles]

No wonder we're so shite. It's bad enough having to play Sharp and Jagielka at their age.

When we've got 55 year olds in midfield you know Wilder lost the plot ages ago

 

[Suomi_Blade]

Unless the three who have been subbed were injured. How on earth has Lundstrum stayed on????? He’s pitiful.

He's been shocking hasnt he, looks tired, not interested, cant pass - lets hope that new contract is officially off the table.

 

[Lawrence]

Disappointed at the result, once again unlucky! with both goals, think the passing has been a bit more Sharpe just the quality lets us down time after time, Ramsdale had a great game, Flecks done really well, McB worked hard but then again no quality, Norwood done OK and Ampadu looks better every week, going to be a good player

 

[JJ Sefton]

Thank fuck that’s over.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Daniel Farke isn’t a Norwich fan...they were conceding loads of goals every game last sesson.
Some NC fans wanted him sacked...they stayed patient....and gave Farks his chance back in the Championship.....they are now comfortable top of the league.

Seems clear the Prince is following the same policy that’s worked for Norwich.

True but Norwich were much better than us last year and didn’t spend a king’s ransom on a pauper’s donkey, like we have. Plus, we are playing truly horrific football. It’s Blackwell stuff.

 

[Bladedog]

Maybe we could get a reporter to ask CW at the end of the match?

If we can find one wi a pair o bollocks

Yep painful mate

 

[Foxy]

EDIT: For clarity, I'm not saying this shows it out, just an interesting angle.

On the video replays I thought it had stayed JUST in.

Totally agree mate. The man is just not interested in playing for us. Bin him off asap. Oh wait Wilder will play him against Villa.

 

[haich1889]

At least we are still in the FA cup

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

We've been great since McBurnie came back from injury.

I would much rather do a norwich than whatever this has been this season. Norwich were always entertaining and tried to win. Went down with pride!

[Swinton Blade]

Norwich played good football, scored goals and just needed to sure up the defence!

We, err........

Scored goals?

They scored 26 goals last season.

 

[Drunk blade]

Would have been a thrashing but for Ramsdale, formation simply did not work again, just invites too much pressure

 

[YoungBlade31]

We've been great since McBurnie came back from injury.

Ah yes 0 goals in 3 games. “Great”

What game have you been watching!

Seems clear the Prince is following the same policy that’s worked for Norwich.

Norwich didn’t spend over £150 million quid and everyone at the club understood that relegation in the first season was a real possibility given the long-term strategy.

If our plan was anything like Norwich’s we wouldn’t have bought Brewster or Berge. We’ve spent a lot of money with the intention of staying in the Premier League at all costs. So nothing like Norwich at all really.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I really don’t understand how Wilder is immune from any job insecurity. Any other team in this division he’d of been sacked 2/3 months ago.

There’s absolutely no reason for him to be sacked now, what’s the point? But it really frustrates me seeing his mate on Twitter saying we’ll be lucky to keep him. If he wants to go then go, there will still be a Sheffield United without him.

Balls already been kicked and is off the floor there.. It didn't go out

 

[CornwallBlade]

Burkes end product is hilarious at times

This, his energy is fantastic and his pace awesome but I really can’t remember seeing a professional footballer at this level who has absolutely no basic skills. Touch is truly awful

There’s at least 2 or 3 angles showing the ball was still clearly in.

 

[Foxy]

I didn't say it did.

Looked on the replays to be just in to me, just found that angle interesting.

 

[silver blade]

Blades goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale produced a string of fine saves to frustrate Liverpool in the first half as the Reds' recent lack of cutting edge in front of goal looked set to continue.

 

[coolasanidiot]

Considering the patched up defence- didn't think we did too bad- main issue is our favourite scoreline 'nil'.

All so different if Goldy McB and Burke take their fairly easy chances.

Sharp instead of Brewster at the end- Wow what the heck has gone on?

I had forgotten that we did have the intention of staying in the Premier League.
At some point that has passed me by.

I think it's clear the Prince decided we were already down several weeks back and to sack Wilder would cost several million pounds, and therefore hasn't done it.

I only started watching at 60mins after putting my kids to bed but I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of hoofball, at least - we seemed to be consciously playing it out from the back every time. Some relief at least after the Fulham hoofball horrorshow.

We will be losing 2-0 to Millwall next season, you need to learn to savour these special moments
