Sheffield United (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Much more comfortable second than first half. Rodri, Akanji, Gvardiol, and Alvarez all very good. Our combined ability to shift positions and play at the same standard is an increasing feature of our game.

Honestly I thought Gvardiol was bang average. Just not getting it with him as a LB. Hope we see what he is like as a CB soon.

A controlled performance from us, we were never really troubled and when they did break forward Ake mopped up.
We needed Rodri to strike that ball for the first as we were looking a little powder puff in front of goal until that point. The second goal was made by a clever little pass from Bobb and a nice cross from Foden.

Great to see KDB again and he received a loud cheer and a rousing chorus as he ran along the sideline.

Finally managed to keep a clean sheet! Good note to end the year on.

We just did enough and never looked like leaking a goal to Sheff Utd, Pep's man management and control of the ball really does kill the weaker teams chasing it, 3 points in the bag and move on to the next

The Blades had no cutting edge, stuck with prehistoric tactics even though they were losing.

 

[East Level 2]

Broke Liverpool's record of the number of successful passes in a Premier League game 894

How tf did those kick and run merchants have the record?

Their record was only 356, but it meant more.

82% possession and we had over 900 passes.....yet we only had 4 shots on target to the 2 by Sheffield .... must do better and opportunity lost to increased GD.

I thought Archer looked good for them after coming on.

It is bloody annoying how we are so reluctant to shoot.

Kyle shoots because he’s annoyed too - but he gets shit for doing - from our fans

Very easy win.. Sheffield United didn't really have the ability to try and go on the attack as we would have ripped them apart if they had opened up.
They worked hard but are very limited
Thought Bobb was very good when he got on and him and Phil linked up really well.
Happy enough with 3 points and a clean sheet and Kev on the bench was good news.
Hopefully Kev and Erling back for Newcastle game..
Enjoy the New Year boys n girls
