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

Someone should tell Walker a fucking ball is round and therefore can move forward not always backwards. He`s made a couple of good forward passes but at times he`s so annoying passing it backwards.
Jack aint been great and why has Alvarez taken over the duties as free kick specialist as some of his balls have been shocking.
I fucking hate the Blades and hope the twats get relegated. Nothing but a park the bus team.Wankers.

It's frustrating. We will find a way.

 

[give it to gordon]

Is Phil fit enough to do 45 minutes ?

foden for kova
doku for jack in 70 plus mins

Kova is one of the best on the pitch we would be stupid to substitute him! Grealish or Walker or Alvarez should go down or Berna

I think Pep Lilo wants him to hold the ball and control play

Yeah its under instructions and sometimes i don't understand it, when hes 1 v 1 and he opts to pass it back

In terms of playing an opposing team in the Premier League, Sheff Utd’s performance so far is probably the most abject I’ve seen in years.

They might be 0-0 thanks to getting extremely lucky but they’ve done absolutely nothing but hug and grapple us in defence and throw themselves to the ground on the 2-3 occasions they got past the halfway line. I’d be embarrassed. 0% action in our third at one point in the game.

Look at the stats they’re pathetic



If there’s any justice then we’ll smash three or four past them in the second half which will be no more than they deserve.

Grealish needs to start attacking the outside of his defender as it's usually been one on one. Who cares if you lose the ball just have a crack and put their defence in 2 minds.

If not that then get Gvardiol to overlap.

Haaland to score the winner.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Grealish is taking too long to make a decision once hes got the ball the sheff utd players are all regrouped. He needs to be far better.

That's because he has nobody to pass the ball to. Last season he'd have Gundo or KDB to find, now it's Kovacic and Alvarez.

The one time Alvarez made the right kind of run, Grealish found him and we won a penalty.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Reminiscent of last season pre Christmas.....lacking spark/creativity and a reluctance to get the ball forward and/or into Haaland.

The game is crying out for Phil,it's been very pedestrian so far and we are allowing Sheffield the opportunity to build confidence and even mug us.

Need to up our game in every respect.

 

[Daz_Blue]

We need Tony Hart in there ..... only one who could provide any creativity without KDB

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Prob won’t go down well but Sergio was better than haaland and was way more likeable. What I’d do to have him back in his prime

He was lethal.
