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

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.

Jack needs a wake up. Doku on the left a couple games will see to that

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

He had a half chance flicked header, should have nodded down to Kyle a second chance, nearly made a goal for jules and missed a penny. He’s had service

Walker has been great so far, what was the guy saying he was rubbish watching?

Think of the contact Haaland is putting up with and then the penalty Rashford got yesterday, bit ridiculous.

There is a massive variance in how the rules are applied differently across all teams in the PL. It's absolute BULLSHIT from the PiGMOL.

The trouble with being dragged down to the floor or bear hugged at set pieces is that they never lead to penalties, what we really need is for one of our forwards to have their hip brushed by a defender as the ball is going out of play, they are stone wallers.

 

[The Black Shed]

As soon as the team picked up the pace of the passing, we got a penalty immediately. Missed it but meh, it happens. More slick, first time passing required, would like to see Grealish TAKE HIS FUCKING MAN ON AND DRIBBLE PAST HIM, for once. Other than that maybe one goal is enough for us today.

 

[Keeper!]

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.

Started this season like his first season.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Need the win today no excuses

Hooper needs fucking off out of the league. How the fuck the bear hug isnt a penalty is a joke. VAR is a disgrace

It’s a case of trying to level the playing field to give the rest a shot at challenging us. I’d love to hear why we didn’t get another penalty at least in that half. The league is becoming more and more difficult to take seriously when you look at the leg up the 3 red tops get each week.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I’d get used to that if I were you…..

Indeed. There'll be more low scoring games whilst we're still in transition of being without De Bruyne Gundo and Mahrez
