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

[balotelli's back pocket]

I'm not surprised we're playing well below our level when we've changed the treble winning system completely. By necessity, because we have a dozen fit senior players.

Well, the match hasn't been great so far. I think it would be a good idea to substitute Grealish with Doku at half time. I'm really interested to see how fast and direct Doku is as a player. If he's as good a dribbler as they say, he could completely dismantle the defenders. Grealish hasn't really made much of an impact so far, that's for sure.

I worry that Doku not having trained with us too much would attempt something to force the game, lose possession and set them up for a counterattack. At least when our forwards lose possession, they normally know the procedure to recover the ball or get into position. I hope Phil is just recovering from some illness enough to come on later. We need a bit of a spark that's lacking. Having said that we should be up by a couple now.

Favours!! FFS we are playing a team already relegated.

Favours like Arsenal and rags got yesterday

 

[Tuearts right boot]

He needs to get round the back and swing his balls in.

You mean get in there with his tackle.

 

[Keeper!]

Somehow they got a standing ovation for parking the bus hahaha. I guess that's what our level has become where teams are extremely happy to just not concede against us

We used to be the same in the dark days

 

[nellyonthewing]

Get Phil on for Grealish .

Well yeah mate, but not up in the air waving to his mother in the crowd

You have to wonder what the criteria is for a sky sports pundit, is it just whoever’s going to make the biggest cock of themself?

 

[super_city_si]

I'd get foden on personally

You and everyine else. Hopefully hes put a cork up his arse at half time

 

[hertsblue]

Alverez and Grealish offer nothing creativity wise off the wings and Haaland is starved of service.
That said 1 penalty, should have been 2 though no guarantee we score from it, 1 card and should have been 3.

 

[deano ou812]

Has that feeling more so after the pen miss that it’s one of those days ..

 

[HamannCheese]

Goal incoming. Haaland will be a bull coming out in the second half.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Cant blame them they dont have a pot to piss in.

We need to be able to score though

Don't have a pot to piss in? They've just spent £20M on a striker

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Alvarez stunner to win the game

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

I’m going for 3-0 Come on you blueboys

 

[Blue Steel]

Came here to see the HT scoreline being blamed entirely on Grealish.

This thread never disappoints.

 

[city warrior]

PEople are criticizing Grealish (fairly) for the lack of creation, but what has Bernardo done in the entire match?

 

[city2]

Did we just win the treble, fucking fans on here slagging the players off must all be glory fans stop whining

Sounded like a right prat didnt he

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I'd fetch the Belgian kid on. Grealish is offering no threat, we need some trickery. Just make sure somebody is behind him for if he loses it.

I think Grealish is wasted when he's hugging the touchline, needs to roam inside more often, but he's not been good so far.

Own goal confirmed...
