[The Bladesman]

Our record against the cockneys is impeccable right now.

 

[BladesOnToast]

WDWWW, not bad form that at home in the PL

 

[bromtom]

Great today, a slightly uncomfortable watch at times because they've got some real quality going forward and we've been a bit delicate at the back, but Egan really read everything fantastically and Bash was really on it too.

Midfield was great, Sander continuing on from Sunday, seems something's clicked, and McBurnie, Didz and Moose, all great, especially McBurnie who gets kicked to shit all game and just keeps on going.

Only negative is that nesh attempt at a save from Henderson for Kane's first disallowed goal, but thankfully, it didn't cost us.

Onwards Blades!

 

[BritishSteel]

Thanks for the 4 points this season ( should be 6 if it wasn`t for fuckin VAR )

Spurs play pretty footbal but can`t dig in and defend when needed.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

On Spurs, I thought they were remarkably similar to the style we saw back in November – overplaying at the back, easily panicked when pressed, and second to most 50:50s in midfield. Considering they’ve shifted to a manager with a drastically different side, I thought they were on a basic level pretty similar in terms of the weaknesses we saw before. It’s quite remarkable that this is now managed by a man that has defensive solidity as a core characteristic of his teams.

Mourinho interrupts Wilder at about 5m45 – quite a nice moment https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08jpxcz

I thought we were alot better tonight, you could tell right from the first 30 seconds the attitude was bang on,
credit to all of em they showex the character we've been missing. Well playex Ben Osborne thought he was great and Moose played more like it ,played like he'd had a bollockin and Mcburnie kept getting fouled but got nothing,not surprised he got booked he'd just had enough, deserved a goal.

 

[Davalon]

Delighted with the result, delighted for Sander, pleased for Ossie, pleased for everyone.

Not much more to say really.

 

[Harry's Game]

If we score first we have a great chance as Mourinho hasn’t had a plan B since about 2014. If we go behind however I think we will be sunk as they will sit back and counter us until the cows come home.

Bump..

 

[frechyblade]

Mourinho says that Hendo kicks it to far so it’s difficult to defend. Fact is we score 3 goals from cut backs from the by line after playing some f**kin great football.
UTB

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Lots of praise for McB , Sander , Egan etc. and rightly so, but no one should underestimate George Baldock's contribution tonight .

From the very first minute he was at it in both halves of the pitch and hardly put a foot wrong . His little dink which led to Sander setting up the third goal was quite outstanding , especially from a player who by any normal standards would have neither the energy nor the desire to get there in the first place .

Love him to bits .

 

[Kev Gee]

Belief is good % of being successful these days. If you have belief in your ability as a football player then you will win the 50/50s and steal the extra yard.

Last night we had that belief unlike the previous 3 games!

 

[Charlieblade]

Jose will probably park the bus and rely on Kane and Son to breakaway quickly.

United will continue to improve defensively, and Berge and McGoldrick to shine again.
Three points for the Blades.

Called it lol

Its a good thing Berge scored after getting in Baldock's way to nick the ball - if he'd missed he'd have had an angry Baldock to deal with

 

[HammerInPeace]

Well, well, well...played!

He gave him a bollocking late on for not picking up the player who crossed for Kane's goal !

 

[Silent Blade]

Very odd decision from Wilder playing Osborne LCM, Luke Freeman must be wank in training, never seems to get a look in.

Are you really a Blade fan??

Are you really a Blade fan??

A Blade would never, ever wildly overreact to a team selection announcement...
