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

[Bournemouth Blue]

If only we had a couple of good strikers, we would be 4 or 5 nil up by now….

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Get Ake and Grealish hooked for Phil and Doku. Zero creativity or outlet. Painful watch

Ake off why

 

[Phoenix900000]

Erling needs to play his game and not get wond up. If they foul him it will be given as one.

They are resorting to pull and wrestling him to the ground

 

[Zenmanc]

Hope they have Pep on a big screen feed in the dressing room yelling at them to wake up. We're skating around like we're expecting the game to simply end as a win without actually doing anything to earn it.

 

[Keeper!]

He's been good but an upgrade? No way in my opinion.

Great player and will only get better

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I'll be happy to leave here with a point....happier with 3 though....cloggers.

 

[youngbob]

Walker, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol, Rodri all excellent. Bernardo and Kovacic both alright. Alvarez, Grealish, Haaland all need to do more.

Ake playing last man...and he's the best at it.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Grealish and haaland look a few games away from match sharpness

Haaland thrives on service, which he simply isn’t getting.

 

[The Black Shed]

Commentary for Haaland:
'He initiates the contact, then goes down. For me that's not a penalty."

Commentary for Rashford:
"He initiatesthe contact and he has every right to go down. Its a clear penalty".

 

[oakiecokie]

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.

 

[chesterbells]

If Foden is anywhere near fit he has to come on at half time.

I’d put Doku on as well - his pace would give them something new to think about.

Grealish and Bernado need taking off.

Is pace the answer though, when their whole team is camped around the 18 yard box?

 

[bugsyblue]

Our wide players are doing Jack, especially Jack, Bernie is wasted wide right

I’d personally take off one of jack or Bernardo for Foden, put him central and move Alvarez wide.

 

[Blueknows]

Kova our best player so far , grealish offering nothing of note , doku and Phil for Jack and bernardo for me

 

[bluke]

Repeated rugby tackling and shirt pulling - the rags would have already been awarded 3 penalties.

 

[heslops barnet]

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.

Always every game I’m afraid

 

[Brewster's millions]

Kovacic amazingly could be an upgrade on Mr Wippy, what a player

Should be taking our penalties.

 

[paulchapo]

Then we bag 3

That only usually happens if we score early. Golden chance with the penalty but once again we bloody miss it.

 

[CarlosTevez'sEnglishTutor]

Another small, weak man with no accountability for his actions. Until one of these refs is badly hurt it's not going to change.

It must be one of the only jobs in the country where you are paid a small fortune and are totally devoid of responsibility and accountability. They don't even have to face the cameras after the game FFS. It's rotten to the core.

Haaland was sandwiched and I believe it was Robinson pulled him to the floor by the scruff of the neck. There's another weak, policeman-like man sat watching that on a VAR screen pretending not to see it. The mind boggles.

As for the actual game, loads of possession but we are crying out for Foden. Stupid answer by me as he missed but I felt it was a good pen by Haaland, just one of those things.

 

[super_city_si]

I think that n’all, he’s surely stronger than that lad? Fucking fight and get to that ball.

Hed get carded though.
