I think we can be pretty certain of that given how many chances we actually did create.That, we don't know
Anyway, when people say we should have scored 5, what they really mean is we had at least 5 really good scoring opportunities.

Agree but do we know why he didn't start?Hard work. Great cameo from Phil. Lack of a number 10 hindered us. Marvellous result.

Yeah, and some of the chances involve an exceptional save from the goalie or a defender just launching himself and hoping he gets in the way!I think we can be pretty certain of that given how many chances we actually did create.

Whoever takes their place (assuming they go down) will be no different in their approach when we play them.I can`t wait for the end of season ... to see these twats back in the Championship. Horrible to play against and even worse to try and get past an eleven man wall and rely on us fucking it up for ourselves, well that nearly worked.
Blades just fuck off back to where you belong.
Utter domination, just have to put those chances away.
Walker wont make that backheel pass ever again lol.
Without Pep we did struggle a little bit kn those last 10 mins when the opposition switches from full defense to full attack, our players serm surprised by it and it took them a while, maybe only last few mins to remember to just pass backwards and bait their press as if they are a top team.

The fact we are top of the league is bonkers.
Not at our best against Burnley, superb against Newcastle, then too slow in the build up against Sheffield United.
We really have to step up.
Even so, it took 3 superb saves by Foderingham and a pen miss to keep them in with a chance.
It would appear that bear hugs on Eerling are now legal. If he tries to push them away, then the officials have an excuse not to give a pen. PGMOL are bent.

Three games in, nine points and only one goal conceded.
Be afraid, rest of the league, we haven’t even got out of third gear yet.

Went exactly as I predicted it, Sheffield gave their all defending got lucky for their goal, the worry for Sheffield is the amount of energy they needed can they summon it up against the teams around them? Great win for City nevertheless

Exceptional ball retention for most of the game, aside from Kyle glaring error.
Game should have been over long before they equalised but City seem to have gone to a new level in terms of mentality and restored the lead in short order.
30 shots today but not enough of them were of the required quality. Also, too many crosses didn't find the danger area.
Patience and persistence will be important once again because almost every team gets so many men behind the ball that getting a clear shot at the target is very hard. Goals will almost always come in the end due to the weight of possession and number attempts on goal but the team has to make sure they do not give the ball up in dangerous (to City) areas as that is the main hope most opponents have of scoring against us.
