Match Thread | Sheffield Utd vs Man City (27/08/23)

[bluke]

Kova will do a Gundog and break the deadlock.

 

[phargrave]

I'll take a scruffy 1 nil win right now.

I’d get used to that if I were you…..

 

[Nour]

You are really a bad official if Micheal Owen disagrees with ya . So frustrating fr

 

[give it to gordon]

Micheal Owen saying we should have had three penaltis.wow

Not often I agree with Owen. The holding of Haaland is joke

 

[KingGeorge]

Walker and Grealish are awful

In attack offers nothing

Doku, Foden, Palmer , Gomez IN

Walker had a nice cross in the box we wasted

 

[glauberbertistossedshirt]

Glad I'm watching with the sound off instead and don't have to listen to that aggrieved dobble nosed cretin.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Spitty is right though I hate the ****

He shouldn't give the ref to chance to send him off.

Personally I'd take him off at HT if it continues and put King Julian in there. We need Sergio like guile to break these down.

Our Phil will tear these a new one get him on ffs

 

[I'm Blue]

Micheal Owen saying we should have had three penaltis.wow

3? We might have scored o e of them : )

 

[balotellishaircut]

This could finish 0-0 which would be a travesty, just score City ffs

 

[pudge]

I had this earmarked as a relatively stress free-match, boy was I wrong.

TV time slot away from home against a game raising team?

Absolutely detest these games, zero confidence

 

[SebastianBlue]

Honestly have no idea what you are watching. He didn’t fall for any of sheff Utd going down easily around our box numerous times, gave us a pen. The haaland shirt pulls is not a pen imo as they are both at it,

Haaland needs to stop looking like he swallowed a wasp and get on with the game.

…not sure what you are watching. There were two obvious fouls in the box: one on Haaland and one on Ake. He is letting them manhandle our players all over.

He gave the penalty because it was an egregiously obvious one.

The tackle on Grealish was borderline red and it wasn’t the first poor one from Baldock.

He has been trying to even the matchup and I expect him to continue with that in the second half.

I know we’re not happy but truth is we should have had at least another penalty and creativity may be down, but we still should be 2-0 up.
It’s difficult playing through 10 men in their own half but we have created enough to be a few goals to the good.

They will tire. A few fresh changes maybe later. We aren’t doing a whole lot wrong. Just a couple of players not up to peak sharpness.

 

[jollylescott]

It's blindingly obvious we are lacking creativity. I hope Phil's ok to come on. We need his spark.

 

[wolviedinho]

Fuck off with the "no service to haaland" thing, he's not doing well enough in getting himself in the right positions. There was a beautiful alvarez cross and he was casually lingering near the edge of the box instead of making a run to the 6 yard box. His movement is not good enough

Second season drop was inevitable. Throw in reaching the pinnacle of football and you can see why some of our lads seem to be struggling for sharpness. Winning can change the mindset of a player. Hope this is not happening with Jack.

Micheal Owen saying we should have had three penaltis.wow

Hes dead right

 

[Keeper!]

Time score premier goal init, Cole!

Not sure what's happened to him. It's not just a new thing either. That Burnley game aside, his killer instinct has gone. He ended last season with barely in goals in his last 10-15 appearances. Sure he'll get it back but there's no hiding from it really, his name doesn't fill me with excitement in the way it used to.

 

[stan bowles]

Erling need to learn some of the dark arts.. hit the deck more than he's touched the ball.

How about working on his heading and converting penalties ? We'd be 2-0 if he'd put those away.

 

[clarion]

Jack will play 90mins no matter how he plays.
Feel sorry for Cole not having 10% from this treatment.
