Match Thread | Sheffield Utd vs Man City (21/01/20)

[Platt Lane veteran]

Never realised them Sheffield lot were as bad as scousers, the moaning gits.

Zinchenko and Walker as wing backs is basically us handicapping ourselves. Poor selection. What can they offer going forward? Fuck all.

That's the problem. Just not got enough players forward to dominate the ball, keep them penned in and create chances. It also stops us pressing. 5 defenders, a DM, KDB playing quite deep just leaves us with an out of form Sterling with Mahrez and Jesus (who are both rather hit and miss) as our attacking options. Our only real chances have come from a defensive mistake, corner and penalty. They haven't got speedy forwards so we should be able to play a high line and press them.

I'd get one of the defensive players off for an attacking player with a high press and we should win this.

I think Pep is playing certain players and formations deliberately. He knows the title is gone and half of this lot probably don't realise it but this is their audition to still be here next season. I expect a big overhaul.

Has he told us, the fans, that he is experimenting?

I know I'm probably jinxing it but Laporte and Otamedi have played well in my opinion.

You've fecking jinxed it, 1-0 loss incoming..

 

[Blue Mist]

BT shits say it is an on field call and not VAR for the keeper being off his line ? Well what was West Ham ? Should have been retaken. Wankers.

 

[SWPISHOME]

A first half that sums up our season, Missed penalty along with Sterling sitter and Otamendi overhead saved.

Just waiting for Sheffield United to have their first shot on target and score.
Raheem really needs to start producing, He's been anonymous again tonight.
Hopefully we put a couple away in the second half.

 

[Phil1]

Wow same old it's all the referees fault it's actually boring, we have been poor keeper not really had a shot to save bar sterling's back pass and Jesus poor penalty, not sterling's fault or Jesus fault, no it's.the refs fault, the media's fault, the biased commentators fault

Good job you’re here to put everyone right.

Dirty ****s this lot, aren't they?! ****s.

 

[Kokonut1307]

Disgusting and pathetic lower division mentality from Sheffield. This is supposed to be a fucking game not a war, and we have opposition players actively attempting to injury our players (especially Laporte).

 

[BringBackSwales]

Did you see the little wink by Besic to a teammate whilst Laporte was getting treatment? The snide little twat. Hopefully He’ll have to make a desperate tackle in the 2nd half, that gets him a red.

Hasn’t that cunnt got history with us? Gave David Silva bad injury?
