[Arcott]

If Lundstam was fit it's an absolute fuck up to not have him on the bench. Why do you need 3 strikers?

 

[bartman]

Why wasn’t Norwood brought on instead of Jags I would like to know the thought process.

Basham's energy in midfield is my guess

 

[Big Hitter]

I’m going to say it: I like Ally McCoist.

I hope you'll be very happy together.

 

[HammerInPeace]

That was sh*t luck, Berge getting injured just after you scored.

 

[Bladesman98]

Basham's energy in midfield is my guess

It just disrupts 2 areas of the team, Jags is going to find it hard against their pace late on

 

[Bladesman98]

That was sh*t luck, Berge getting injured just after you scored.

That’s how this season is gonna go for us

 

[Yogi]

Playing well in spells and showing abit more commitment. Lacking quality in the final third though and again the left hand side on our back 3 is pretty dreadful. We constantly keep getting caught out by long balls over the top. At least we are giving it a go though!

Agreed Stevens at fault for the second miles out of line playing everyone else on

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

At last a comment Not Bashing our Goalie!

Credit where credits due - their second maybe he shouldn’t come, but he’s had to make that decision following through balls so many times this game it’s hard to be too upset

 

[bartman]

Flecks having a shocker, really gone down hill, sad and unbelievable.

Fleck is playing ok. Linking well with Ampadu and Steven's. Not sure which game you are watching

 

[Selly]

Thoughts...

• We look better, but that's not hard
• Fleck needs to do better with his chance
• Injuries are absolutely f*cking us right up the arse at the moment
• Jags... Why???
• Bloody defence, 40 yards the ball traveled
• Rammers had to do better with the second, even allowing for the fact that he probably didn't expect Martial to miss the ball completely
• Fernandez is a whiny little ****
• Let Burke run himself ragged, then throw Moose on

 

[HammerInPeace]

At 1-2, you're still in it but playing Jags is a worry.

 

[blades78]

This was lost by a bad substitution and Fleck missing. Shame really. We were looking ok.

Ampadu rcb if Wilder wanted to push basham into midfield, then Norwood on for me.

 

[RecordBreakers]

Fuck right off.

It was cowardly he bottled it you can see he turns away and just been highlighted by the pundits. Ramsdale is a piss poor keeper simple as absolute shocking signing.

 

[bartman]

It just disrupts 2 areas of the team, Jags is going to find it hard against their pace late on

Agreed. But the only other option would have been Brewster on and McGoldrick on the right of the midfield 3

 

[A Storm of Blades]

They have Greenwood, Rashford and Martial. Why don’t we go Burke, Moose and Brewster?

 

[Sheffsteel]

Thought Scholes comment during half-time was a good one.

The presenter seemed quite impressed with us and asked Scholes if he’s surprised that it’s been such a tough match for Man Utd when we’re bottom of the league.

Scholes replied. ‘No...every time I’ve seen Sheff Utd play this season they’ve always looked a decent team but they just struggle to score”.

 

[Lawrence]

I mean what was CW doing bringing Jags on! upsetting our back three! CW always complicates things! easy! Osborn (no Lunny on the bench) for Burge easy! CW trying to be cleaver, Jags shouldn’t be on the bench? He is too slow especially playing against a young Man Utd forward line.

ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!

 

[Bladesman98]

Agreed. But the only other option would have been Brewster on and McGoldrick on the right of the midfield 3

Or Norwood/Osborn in

 

[BangorBlade]

Ok who'll take 3-3

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

If we nick an equalizer, does Henderson do an Odubajo with the goal scorer?

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Robinson doing ok for me

 

[Lawrence]

Too easy, looking at 5 if we are lucky

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Ramsdale ffs man

 

[FriethBlade]

Jagieka has completely gone at the game

 

[Sheffsteel]

Terrible by Ramsdsle
He only seems to make good saves when the opposition player is off side.
The number of times I’ve thought...”great save Ramsdale...well done”...then the flag is up for offside....so it wouldn’t have counted anyway.

 

[Kev Gee]

Ramsdale that was fucking WANK.

The Jagielka sub is baffling.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Fucking Stevens throw in to the opposition and they score. The man is wank

 

[Bladesman98]

Going down without a fight. Fuck sake lads

 

[YES Blade]

Ramsdale not good again, but he was massively exposed

 

[LS5 Blade]

Ramsdale needs taking out of the firing line for his own sanity!
