FFS

 

[Bladesman98]

That’s the chance I was talking about

 

[veganblade]

Agent Lundstram

 

[hull-Blade]

Berge is just class . More of the same and we may create a chance

 

[Suomi_Blade]

When did Baldock become scared of crossing a ball? Bogel must be really bad if Baldock keeps getting a game infront of him

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Perfect chance for the want away guy

 

[drblade]

Berge is on a different level to any other United player

 

[Lawrence]

Playing the new ‘kids’ Is not going to work, back to the proven and tested players from last season.
We needed a goal scorer and we didn’t buy one

Could sign Lewandowski and he’d struggle in this team

 

[shrubbery]

How many excellent chances have gone begging at the feet of Lundstram this season?

 

[DroitwichBlade]

What excellent chances have we actually had this season???

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

How many excellent chances have gone begging at the feet of Lundstram this season?

Too many

 

[Dutch Blade]

Just throw Lundstram back to the U23 for the rest of the year. Obviously we just play shit, but he's not the player that's gonna help us out of it so might as well give other players a chance.

Egan, Norwood, Fleck & Berge really have to carry us this year.

 

[1987]

Think id like to see bogle next game

 

[shrubbery]

Baldock can literally not put a foot right today.

 

[Kev Gee]

If Brewster shot hard and low he would have scored.
Why he attempted to chip him was just a waste.

 

[Lawrence]

Sharpe should have been on 10 minutes ago, need someone to put himself about!

 

[Lawrence]

Too late Chris

 

[Iceybabey]

Lowe's been brilliant imo, well played lad. Brilliant defending at times.

 

[Sheffsteel]

McMananaman making himself look stupid.

He insists we should be kicking it long playing “hoofball” like Burnley.
He can’t believe why we keep resorting to patient build up play.

If he’d done any research...he’d know we rarely play the Burnley style.
Also we lack physicality so don’t have much success from crosses.

Think we’ve been decent this 2nd half.....been a more even game against one of the best teams in world football.

 

[Dutch Blade]

Basham losing the ball for fun this second half...

 

[jono_t2000]

Never seen us be dribbled around so easily. Like we're statues.

 

[BangorBlade]

We definitely play better with 4 - 3 - 3 kind of system

 

[BangorBlade]

My MOTM - Ramsdale just gets better

 

[drblade]

We just have zero goal threat (albeit against Man City)

 

[Blade56]

Think this has been the most expensive team fielded in the history of Sheffield United.

 

[Bladesman98]

Onto Chelsea..

 

[ormester]

Why have we got in postions and just not crossed it in or just lost the ball sonething needs to change drastically we are not conceding lots but zero goal scoring

 

[DroitwichBlade]

I put off cleaning the fish tank for this match....

 

[veganblade]

Quality of passing has been dismal.
