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

[Eds]

VAR not working for the pen. GK off the line and 2 players encroaching?

VAR doesn’t check for GK that is down to the liner and encroachment not an issue as no part of the play.

Thought Sky commentary was bad but fuck me ... !!

Pep will play his trump card in the second half - Gundogan.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

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

A small time mentality that fires them up.

 

[BringBackSwales]

All the shit on the official web site of the team training, has any one seen the bastards practising taking penaltys

Bastards? Really

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Dirty wankers, Ref is awful and we need a penalty taker for fuck sake. Eric is made of steel

 

[stan bowles]

Awful half of football - from both teams. Pep's formation isn't working. Hardly anything created from open play. Mahrez looks like the only one causing them any worries. Sterling looks so far off form it's untrue. Never thought I'd say it but we lack any sort of creativity. Not KDB's best 45 by any means. Jesus normally contributes something but he's been shite and the penalty miss was dreadfully poor. It can only get better...

Poor first half. They are dirty bastards but...
Good that Laporte has come through that. Nobody playing well which tells me either SU are brilliant or that we have the shape and tactics wrong. (Spoiler, I’ll go for the second of those options). Second half, Bernie on for Stirling, move to a back 4. Aguero on for Laporte. Mahrez and Gabby wide, Bernie in midfield.

Penalty save was 2 feet off the line. What the fuck is var for?

 

[bluealf]

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.

West ham was infringement by the player who cleared the ball.

The ref is the only person who spots the keeper, not that they ever do, so the BT guy is right

 

[TueartsOHK]

The commentary and general coverage from BT is embarrassing.

front three of Mahrez, Stirling and Jesus isn’t working for me. Stirling in particular shouldn’t be playing - he’s been absolute gash in that first half. Get a Fern off early in the second before he gets sent off
